GAVE MY BRAIN A WORKOUT KIND OF

I just did a Mandlbulb 3D render that took 3 hours. The first hour I laid in bed and played a game on my tablet. For the last 2 hours I put jigsaw puzzles together on the PC. I got up ever 25 minutes and walked around for 5 minutes. In the 2 hours I managed to put 4 500 piece puzzles together. This is rather about my average. Normally a 500 piece takes me about 50 minutes each.

It's strange how this works. I'm tired as hell physically and my brain is going 100 mph. This is when I tend to be able to do the puzzles well. As for talking forget it, but I am able to express written well enough in this state.

I remember being locked up for being crazy and in the common room there was a puzzle. I just sat there and started to put it together until it was finished. I then realized people where watching me do it. The nurse told me "I've never seen anyone do a puzzle so fast". I smiled and said "It's how my brain works".

I've seen competitions where people do Jigsaws to see who does them first. I would not make the first round, so although I tend to be above the norm, It's by far not world class. As for other kinds of puzzles I tend to be slightly above the norm as well, but not remarkable.

I used to have a friend who like me was mentally ill - he was able to do any puzzle you gave him extremely fast. It was amazing to watch. Like a Rubix Cube in 20 seconds the first time he did one. Then he read a book on how to solve them and it was more like 8 to 10 seconds. There was no puzzle he could not solve.

To be honest I'd like to trade the ability to be good at jigsaws for the ability to play the guitar. However, I tried for 2 years to learn the violin as a child and there was no doing it. My brain is just not wired for this kind of thing.

Same goes for writhing fiction, I suck like a vortex at it. I'm adequate at poetry for some reason but it's not a special talent. This being said in grade 5 I won an award for the best story in the city for my age group. I'm putting that down to a fluke.

Then there is math - I seem to be average with it, but I have lost confidence in my math skills and feel a deep need to use the calculator on my phone. As for the stuff in school - it's basically all gone from decades of not using it.

But most people are good at at least one thing.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
