However, I enjoyed learning more about you and I appreciate you thinking of me.<br /><br />EmilyEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500390722832190990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-63188526366217586142009-11-09T08:19:32.273-05:002009-11-09T08:19:32.273-05:00sorrygardener, raised beds are wonderful especiall...sorrygardener, raised beds are wonderful especially if you have clay soil (like I do), live in a cool climate (like I do), or get a lot of rain (like I do).<br /><br />Jan, we have our weaknesses too, but just not in math<br /><br />GrafixMuse, I've written a couple of these kinds of posts before, so I figured I wouldn't repeat myself so much if I just used yours. It was fun to compare and contrast. I don't really see the world differently. I think as an artist (I went to art school after deciding I didn't want to be a chemist), I often see it differently, but my daughter I think is the one that really sees the world differently. I still use my senses to see the world and process it (its why I still have trouble wrapping my brain around quantum even if I could do the math at one time). My daughter lives in her mind (she is an autistic spectrum kid and as such has trouble processing her senses well, which is why I think she lives in her mind more than the rest of us do). Math is a much easier language for her than English is. She is really looking for the truth in the world and how it is put together. Her college made her do an humanities project so she did one on philosophy, which is just another way of looking for the truth. I'm so much more of a experiential/sensory person. I like to just experience the world, not find its deeper meaning. It is probably why I'm not a workaholic.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-87445894987690114202009-11-08T15:54:05.227-05:002009-11-08T15:54:05.227-05:00You were not kidding when you said you and I were ...You were not kidding when you said you and I were very different. What an interesting approach to providing the 10 honest things about yourself. <br /><br />I envy the intelligence you and your family share when it comes to mathematical ability. I mourn my lack of this ability as I believe mathematics is the language of our world and everything around us. You have the gift to see life differently than most of us.<br /><br />I too have no understanding as to why some people feel the need to lie. I have a coworker who does it all the time…really stupid lies too. I cannot figure out what he thinks he will gain from not being truthful. When asked for an opinion, I too am usually brutally honest. I try to soften it as much as I can, but my friends expect it of me.<br /><br />I loved learning more about you.

Learning a lot of great things about veggie gardening from you as I consider raised beds next year. Thanks.<br /><br />Anyway, we all suspected that you were a math whiz, but we KNEW you weren't a liar. You won't even count a squash in your tally until you've proven it's edible.

I'm guessing I repeat myself occasionally so this time I used GrafixMuse's answers to do something different. <br /><br />The Mom, that is what I usually say when I read people's memes. It is funny how this time I was so different.<br /><br />Silence, it is true. How do people keep their lies straight? And if you do it to make people like you more or to make them feel better, when they find out you lied to them it does exactly the opposite. I've found people to be very forgiving about things when you are honest.<br /><br />miss m, I agree with you. Telling the truth is much more liberating.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-29297462220962053212009-11-08T12:06:55.418-05:002009-11-08T12:06:55.418-05:00Daphne, I couldn't agree with you more about l...Daphne, I couldn't agree with you more about lying ! What a terrible habit. Everybody does it ! ('cept you and me ;)). I think most of them don't even realize they do it. If ppl only knew how liberating it was to tell the truth !

I could relate on so many fronts, with some twists: No nailpolish (but nails strong enough to pierce steel); flat soft shoes unless trying to show off (and at 5'5", certainly not trying to show off my height!); never telling lies (integrity aside, way, waaaayyy too much work to try to keep track). Thanks for a great post for a Sunday morning!---Silenceour friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-65322910599992780022009-11-08T10:30:46.322-05:002009-11-08T10:30:46.322-05:00Thanks so much for the award.
