I learned that I should go to the Little Bar more often...Bud Light longnecks are only $1.50.

:beer:

I've been collecting broken crayon pieces to remelt into home-made swirly crayons for my Daisy troop's craft this week. I started prepping them this morning by peeling the paper off the cheap ones, and feebly attempting to off the Crayolas. Today I learned why they are more expensive than the other brands. It's the top secret super glue they to keep their labels on...dayam.

Funny, i was going to search/for a "what I learned today" thread because today I learned that there are convocations before graduations, and i learned what one is. And also that they cause traffic jams, but not quite as big as the graduation traffic jams.

and a convocation is?

Technically, any group of people formally assembled for a purpose. Commonly used in Universities to describe the student body and it's interaction with the faculty but limited to that.

Ahh. Why thankyou.

Have you tried using a vegetable peeler on those labels?

Dude. I can't peel carrots without needing a bandaid. My fingers quiver at the thought of 'peeling' teeny tiny skinny little crayons that way :)

I just ran the tip of a paring knife down the length (amazing I have any fingerprints left from that) then opened up the label that way. I honestly think that the labels of some of the crayons just got 'glued' on by being in kid's hot little hands...and god knows what else was on them. LOL. I should be good and vaccinated from pretty much anything right now.

They do make thicker crayons, if your quivering fingers would be more comfortable with them.

She's using broken, useless stubs and scraps. Got any, Steve?

Hang 'em up and melt the crayon out.

It's quite possible... not sure if I can put my hands on any though.

well here -apparently- it means the non-denimonational religious assembly before graduatiion/commencement

At my high school it was the opening ceremony of the school year. (Faculty procession, robed, with guest speaker, exhortation from the administration to study hard, learn, make the school look good, etc.)

When I was in music school at the university, it was a weekly recital where three or more students would each play a piece. It was a good place to play in front of a crowd when you didn't have enough, or weren't ready for, a solo recital.

So, today I learned more about what I learned yesterday :D

thanks all :)
