I only ever figured out how to do the rubik's cube by prying it apart, and then putting it back together!
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It is easy to teach someone to do a Rubic's cube and then practice can cut the time down.
Unlike riding a bike, you can totally forget how to do it though. I "borrowed" Nephlet's one Christmas and never could remember how to solve it.
I should buy myself one.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The point is not that he's capable of doing it, it's that he bothered to learn. It was rare enough when I was a kid, let alone now.

It's easier now. There are a zillion web pages with instructions.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Since husband is starting his new job tomorrow, we're looking at benefits. He is now going to be working at my company. For some reason, it's cheaper for me to get my insurance and him to get his separately, than it is for one of us to get employee + spouse. I don't understand that.

Once again, the point isn't that he's capable of doing it, it's that he bothered.

Because employee+spouse they assume one of you doens't work there--so they're subsidizing it to the tune of one person. Whereas with two separate policies they're subsidizing both.

I mean that it's easier to bother. You don't need to find someone to teach you. I know a bunch of kids who can do it.

Okay, I guess that makes sense, and I was kind of getting there in my mind.
I guess now we need to figure out if there's any reason, tax-wise or whatever else, we should be on the same insurance situation.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I find myself struggling with newfound respect for the Bieber, on discovering that he can solve the Rubik's Cube in 90 seconds.
Really? That's...unexpected. I don't know how I feel about that.
Some of the laziest, stupidest and most irritating kids at my school can do it in less than 60 seconds. It's not that impressive. Plus, if you're bored and you don't mind practicing, which practice is something he obviously doesn't mind, then it's no big deal. Or so they tell me.
