New week brings a new list.
It also brings us a little closer to summer. After reading your summer memories last week I am all ready for it. Thank you for helping me remember and believe that warm weather is indeed coming. I was also reminded by so many fun things we did as kids during school break and cannot wait to do them with my son.
Today we are writing 10 THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM. Topic is chosen by Erin and Ellen, The Sensible moms. I was a bit worried I might sound like my grandma complaining, but then I relaxed and thought of the many unanswered questions about life, love and universe and came up with some stuff that I think of daily. Thanks ladies for a fun topic.
Next week I am giving you an allowance of (pretend) $1000 and ask for a list of 10 things you will spend it on. GO!
And now, let’s ponder.
Make a list, check it twice, link it up. Read others. Have fun!
LIST OF 10 THINGS THAT MAKE ME GO HMM…
1. People waving me through in a 4 way stop.
2. Surely it costs more then a penny to make a penny?
3. Why do we blink so much?
4. Why are there no B batteries?
5. Why do we all say ATM machine when M stands for machine anyway?
6. What can mosquitos possibly be good for?
7. What do newborns dream about seeing how they have no experiences yet?
8. How come there is no light in the freezer?
9. How come no one except my dog ever listens to me?
10. Did anyone really like the ‘Things that make you go hmm’ song?

Indeed. Do you have any of these on your mind?

Ha! Great list, and now I’m going to have to spend some time on Google to find out the answers to some of your hmmms lol. Gorgeous picture of you!

Thank you B. I refrained from googling before I posted cause they would be ponders no more 😉 but you must tell me the answer over a Bailey’s coffee soon!

Ahhhhhhhh…I get it now! Great list!!!
My poor old brain was working overtime trying to figure out what that song really meant?!? That was the only thing on my list. LOL!
Your list was very thought provoking. =D

I still don’t know what that song was about…Except annoying the heck out of us.

What a great topic and list! Yes, why aren’t there B batteries (literally my son asked me this today and I couldn’t come up with a good answer for him) and why is there no light in the freezer? Would the lightbulb explode or something? Now I’m going to be thinking about these deep questions the rest of the night. PS – love that picture!

Thank you Christine. I see your son is one of those… My kid puts me to shame every day. I must google answers for 70% of his questions.

beautiful pic of you and I enjoyed the list too!
I usually say “money machine” but will now try to refer to it to ATM only!

Oh I like the money machine. Let’s call it MM 😉

You totally got me with the ATM. I’m going to start saying, “I’m going to the AT Machine. I’m a rebel and you are such a clever girl! And a gorgeous one too. Lovely picture. Ellen

Thank you. I loved this theme. I used to have many more questions like this but I guess now I just google them as I go

Maybe the topic should have been “Things I’m Too Lazy to Goggle.” Ellen

I have always wondered about number 8. I mean always! Ponderous…

Right? Guess we can only eat frozen peas during the day… Or use a flash light to locate Ben and Jerry in the middle of the night. Not me off course…

B batteries? I never thought of that. Also, I totally listen to you.

Yes you do. And I absolutely listen to you too!!

We have a light in our freezer! But the rest…? Hmmm….

Since you had got me fixated on the b battery I had to go google it, they exist, but much like cassette tapes we no longer use them. The death of technology is more technology….

Great list! I *think* I might have liked the song, but I was too young to be responsible for my musical tastes.
Fantastic picture, by the way!
Ha ha, good one! I love your list and I find myself wondering the same things.

Excellent questions! Mosquitoes are good for NOTHING (I say as I scratch my bites for the millionth time). And no one liked that song. But we’ll all have it in our heads today!

Yours is a really great list – I never thought of the penny thing, but it MUST take more than a penny to make one! And not having a light in the freezer just drives me crazy.

Great list. However, you’ve often commented on Lil J and his “big thoughts”. I do believe we now know where he gets it from!

They recently got rid of the penny in Canada due to cost. What a great challenge you laid upon us this week with this list.

Well now I’m wondering about all the things on your list too. Haha! Great list Stasha.

I like this week’s topic. Great take on it, Stasha. In our house we talk about the value of all creatures and how each one is precious and deserving of life (as in, they ought not to be squished or otherwise maimed by certain smallish people)…. Except for mosquitoes. Can’t think of a single redeeming quality.

Your list is too funny. Why do we say ATM Machine? 😉

Oh fun! I think newborns dream about heaven. And I had never thought about the non-existence of B batteries before….

Maybe the light in your freezer burned out…but it takes a B battery and thus will never be fixed. Hmm.
WAIT.
There’s a song?
double hmm.
deborah l quinn recently posted..Monday’s Listicle: Things That Make You Go “hmm…”
I love your well-pondered, clever list, Stasha!
Twitter: rorybore
great things to ponder! especially the ATM one….so true.
as for the “B” batteries….if you have a very old radio, you will need a B battery, except they don’t make them anymore. ATM oddities aside, apparently we did get smarter at technology and the B battery became obsolete.
Hhhmmmm…now, how the heck did I know that? crazy brain

For real, I have to open the fridge to get light in the freezer if I am in there with the kitchen light off! Probably means I shouldn’t be rooting around in my freezer though….

Wow. You’re lucky that your dog listens to you. It’s pretty hit or miss with my girl.
Great list!

Great list and yes, most of these make me go hmmm. I wonder daily what mosquitos are good for other than an aweful lot of scratching. I can’t leave the house right now without a ton of OFF on every exposed surface of skin!!!

I have never thought about the fact that there is no light in the freezer….I’m thinking it depends on the model. My freezer doesn’t have a light but Irishman’s does. Go figure…
And I did like that C &C Music factory song *looks over shoulder*
Twitter: DonnaChaffins
Great list!
meh… but loved to dance to “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)”, by them.

Ohhh, I never thought of that before. Thank you for making me go Hmm. That’s some deep shit.

LOL! In answer to #10, twelve year old me *loved* the “Things That Make You Go Hmmm” song which is good because now it’s going to be in my head allllllll day. ;-P

Why are there no “B” batteries? You are brilliant my dear.

ATM machine is like saying VIN(vehicle identification number) number. Makes me crazy.

Yep. Or the PIN number. Maddening.

I too don’t see any good in mosquitos. Love your list this week

PS: Mosquitos are good for nuthin’

Hilarious as always…what about that machine in ATM…redundant, huh?
Also, just so you know, my freezer does have a light in it (LG in case you ever want to upgrade) but interestingly the light in the fridge burnt out and yes, I probably should replace the bulb.

About #6: There’s a great quote that suggests, “If you think being small makes you powerless, then you have never been in bed with a mosquito.”
I still don’t like them, but at least now when I see mosquitoes, I am reminded of my own strength to create changes in the world around me. =)
