What I Learned This Week - 9/05/25

1. In case you’re wondering, no, no photo of myself has ever been taken as a “thirst trap”, and if you think it was, I’m sorry to inform you that you are likely overdue for an eye exam. #fact,
2. You know you're from Colorado when your daughter sends you a photo of black bears immediately outside her classroom and your first thought is, “bears don't play four square”. #EveryoneIsFine
3. I've reached that milestone in life where I have to turn down the car radio to see better. #Illogical
4. A surprising number of people that I work with that have used computers for over 25 years had no idea ctrl+Backspace deletes the prior word, not just a letter. #DontBeThatGuy #Ctrl+DeleteDoesNextWord
5. Although typing an angry email using only using your middle finger isn't efficient, it is therapeutic. #TypedThisWithMyPinky
6. According to my youngest, tying flies is an old-people-hobby, just like woodworking. #ouch
7. Best comment heard at a restaurant with a couple arguing, “if you feel a sudden calm, that's because I accidentally left your voodoo doll at Starbucks this morning”. #scary
8. I'm not proud of the person I become when I have you enter my username and password using a TV remote. #ThereHasToBeABetterWay
9. Apparently, my understanding of one being “self-partnered” should only be stated aloud in dive biker bars. #DidNotKnowItMeantSingle
10. When women get upset with the sexual exploitation in Star Wars of Princess Leia in the infamous prisoner scene, pointing out that C3PO basically wore a crop-top exposing his bare droid mid section throughout the entire franchise and no one batted an eye only gets me in more trouble. #StillTrue
11. I’m not the only person that refuses to change the home wi-fi password because it will take over a week to enter the password into all the apps and devices that are on my network. #IMightHaveAProblem
12. The ice-breaker question of “name your favorite food that begins with ‘TH’” only results in arguments. #HerbsAndNumbersAndCountriesArentFood 
13. I’m fairly certain the new trend of “hamstering” was the result of a bar bet gone terribly wrong. #NoDoNotGoogleIt
