Songs get stuck in my head

I get songs stuck in my head a lot.  Sometimes it's because I have just heard them on the radio and then it will stay in my head the rest of the day or until a new song gets stuck in my head.

Sometimes,  a song will just randomly pop in my head and then if I turn the radio on, that song will be on.  This happens with movies too.  I once heard that our brains can pick up on radio signals and that why we subconsiously get things in our head.  Not sure about that though.  Perhaps it's a coincidence that happens frequently.

I've heard different myths on how to get songs out of your head.  One was to hear the song in its entirety so that your brain will now the song is done.  Another was to start doing math.  Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Here are some other entertaining suggestions on how to rid your mind of the earworms:

Children's Songs

When my sister was a toddler, I used to make her sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "Bah Bah Black Sheep" and "The ABC song" all in a row until she got confused and mixed up the words.  I thought it was amusing.

I was just doing the USA Today Crossword and the Clue was:
69 Across:  "Old Macdonald Had a Farm" refrain

So, I sing "Old Macdonald Had a Farm and Bingo was his name-o. B-I-N-G-O"
The answer must be "Bingo", right?

Nope.

It's "EIEIO"

I combined two children's songs into one!  "Old Macdonald Had a Farm" and "There Was a Farmer Who Had a Dog"

Felicity

Every once in awhile I feel the need to watch the whole Felicity series on DVD.
It's one of those times again.  I don't know what it is about that show that I really loved: college, relationships, friendships... Whatever it is, I need to watch it.

They just don't make TV shows like they used to.  Either it's a reality show or it's all about sex and drugs.  This show was as close to real-life situations as you could get, in my opinion.

Act of Contrition

It's Holy Week and I haven't gone to confession in  over five years.  Not that I am avoiding it or making excuses, but  life's obligations have kept me busy or I forget.  Usually confessions are on the weekends, and we are hardly home on the weekend.  It's always someone's birthday or wedding, christening, shower, etc.

I am making a plan to go tomorrow after Holy Thursday mass.

I am pretty sure that I need to know the Act of Contrition and I looked it up and didn't realize that there were so many versions.  I am just going to stick to the one that I learned growing up.  It's weird how I still remember it.

Oh My God, I am sorry for my sins.
In choosing to sin and failing to do good, I have sinned against You and Your Church.
I firmly intend, with the help of Your Son, to make up for my sins and to love as I should.
Amen.

Uses for Plastic Bags

There has been a movement to get people to get away from using grocery stores' plastics bag and using reusable totes to be more "green".  I have the reusable totes and have used them on occassion, but it was then that I found myself running out of the plastic bags and realized that I use them for a lot of things.

• I use them to line the wastebaskets in my bathrooms/bedrooms.
• I use them to line the wastebaskets at my work because the janitors never change my trashbag.  They just dump the trash.  This is especially gross (and possibly unsanitary) when I put in food or my yogurts cups in them.
• My in-laws use them to line their kitchen trashbag and use those instead to fill up the larger trashcan outside, so that they use less trashbags.  I mean, you actually pay for the kitchen trashbags and the grocery store ones are free, right?
• I use them to put old food or food preparation scraps and tie them up before I put them in the kitchen trashbag so that it doesn't smell as bad when I open up the trashcan.
• I use them when I go on trips to separate my dirty clothes from my clean clothes.
• I use them on ski trips to put my boots in so that I don't get mud and dirt all over the trunk of my car.
• I don't have pets, but I know a lot of people who use them to pick up dog poop.
• I use them to put my wet bathing suits in so that I don't dampen the rest of the things in my bag.  

 

Wachovia converted to Wells Fargo website

My Wachovia account was converted over to Wells Fargo over the weekend.  I logged into Wachovia today and it walked me through the account conversion process.  Afterwards, I was redirected to the Wells Fargo site. 


I took a few minutes to look through the site and familiarize myself with the new layout.  I already found it difficult to navigate and had a hard time locating information about my account.

The Wachovia site was very user friendly.  The information about my accounts seemed much easier to find.  Now, the Wells Fargo site has a lot of "white space".

The Bill Pay now has "Send on" and "Deliver By" dates which can be confusing.  I don't know why you need to have two dates.  Just give us the important one, which would be the "Deliver By" date.

The site is also much slower than the Wachovia site.

It's too bad that you can't choose a "Theme" for the site. I prefer the look and feel of the Wachovia website better.
