I’d do this but I’m afraid to know exactly what I’ve learned. Awesome though.

claire - If you’re not ready to dump feeds just yet, try this. It feels not unlike jumping out of an airplane: horrifically wrong just before, positively liberating after.

Yes, the previous day’s page becomes the current day’s origami. I was so close to being done and mom gave me a 365 day paper airplane calendar yesterday. Things you can throw are fun though, and if they use the same symbol notation for folds, I’ll be in good shape.

That’s a good idea re: feeds. I find myself skimming certain blogs lately–a good skill for a detail-oriented Virgo to indulge in, but I think it’s time to seek out some new voices.

Bon - Obviously, moi aussi!

Jon H - Big Macs, alas, are off the menu for the duration. So it will have to be Truth sand., large iced tea, hold the fries, for the time being. Thank you, drive thru.

Paul - The only reason I have it at all is it came bundled with COBRA. Once that runs out and I’m in the high risk pool, it’s buh-bye two almost-free cleanings per year.

Oh, wait—I’m paying $100/month for the almost-free cleanings. Never mind…

claire - that is a great idea for a calendar! Are you supposed to use that day’s page to make your crane or what have you?

RE: feeds, every once in awhile, I dump 90% of them and start fresh. Highly recommended for sanity. (And no, I won’t be hurt if you dump this one. WEll, maybe a little, but I’ll get over it.)

I learned how to tie a bowtie just the other day. And that it wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be.

Also picked up quite a bit of origami (Science help me, it was a page-a-day origami calendar my Mom inflicted me with last year. ;)

Feed readers make blog reading much easier but also contribute to that activity being a much larger time suck as I follow more now.

Most of the words at vocab levels of 44 through 49 on freerice.com strike me as equally difficult.

And other stuff. ;) I look forward to part 2.

Too true about dental insurance: I had to change carriers, and found no good options. Finally my dentist advised me to skip it: that unless you can get a huge corporate policy, it’s not worth it.

And on that happy note:
Merry Christmas!

Truth is cool, but Big Macs rule.
