CV - The last thing I learned...

Corner View is a weekly appointment - each Wednesday - created by Jane and currently curated by Francesca, where bloggers from all corners of the world share their view on a pre-arranged theme. If you'd like to join in, please leave a link to your Corner View post in the comments at www.fuoriborgo.com, and be sure to visit other participants, too.

Technically, the last thing I learned, I learned yesterday evening as I pulled out of the office parking garage.  I learned that one should not swear at the other drivers AFTER one has dialed one's cell phone.  I was calling a woman I'd never met before to give my regrets for a baby shower for a friend's daughter.  (A nice event held by nice people, right?) I didn't hear her answer and as soon as I finished verbally abusing the cars blocking the intersection, I heard this faint voice on the other line, "Excuse me?"  (If she were a "Corner viewer" she could say that she learned many new colorful words Tuesday.)

However, that is not my corner view post... I belong to an organic gardening group.  Once a month we have educational meetings at Leu Gardens.   Our September meeting was on seed propagation.  As this is a humid area, one of the speakers recommended placing one of these in the bag with the seeds to keep them dry:



I suppose it's pretty obvious really, but it never occurred to me.  And these come in everything from vitamin bottles to shoe boxes.

I also learned that Parker does not mind wearing the "senior dog" diaper I bought yesterday:


He is such a trooper!

Happy Wednesday!

    Fabulous! You have learned heaps this week! Your description of your inadvertent swearing in front of the lovely baby shower woman made me laugh! And I love the pic of your dog wearing his 'senior dog' diaper. The indignities of growing older!

    I did chuckle! I always do a journal prompt about first impressions and this year the freshmen read a great little story about mistaken first impressions and how not to jump to conclusions. Should I send the lady the story? :>)
    I've wondered about those diapers. Tasha could have used one, but I guess I really didn't know much about them. (Tasha has been gone 5 years now.)
    I'm glad they're working out for your darling dog.
    I enjoyed your comment about the tatoo. At first I just stared in disbelief. I mean, honestly she was sitting just a few feet from me, showing her 'other set of eyes' for the whole world---and ---I was eating supper! LOL now.
