I didn't see one of these threads so if there is one I'm sorry lol

So what did you learn today or recently.

I recently learned that if you just cut the green tops off of green onions and then put the bulbs in a cup of water they will keep growing.

seems logical lol but I NEVER knew that before

I just learned that it is not a good strategy for laundry to get so backed up you hear it mustering to come up the stairs after you.

Sometimes life just happens. has to wait sometimes.

Windows 7 is NOT easy to install even if you follow the directions because your computer doesn't want to write the program correctly to burn the disk to transfer the info to the computers needed.

Same thing with Garlic. I don't use it often, but it's a $1 for 5 at the flea market. Well by the third garlic they're already starting to sprout. So I found one of those little seed trays with 6 cubes. Placed a clove (peeled) in each cube. They also like the dark, so all of them are sitting in the garage next to a small vent hole. This lets them get just a bit of sunlight and they're growing like crazy. I pulled one out the other day, and it already has a new set of roots.

Same goes for potatoes and carrots. Pretty much any "root" vegetable. If you save a bit of it, it'll just regrow back into what it was.

That my van did not like its new alternator.

And some cool stuff about the Northwest Territory that some how either never entered my brain or left my brain long ago as my DD and I were working on American History today.

I learned that it is sometimes better not to know what's going on.
