Wondering

Have you ever wondered how many times a person brushes their teeth in their entire life time - I am 47 years and 10 days old - if I brush my teeth an average of two times per day (granted I did not brush my teeth when I was a baby and had no teeth - but we are just wondering things here, we don't have to be exact) I have lived 17, 175 days - brushing my teeth two times a day = 34,350 times - that is a lot of toothpaste. How about how many times have you eaten breakfast. I don't eat breakfast everyday but if I did I would have eaten 17, 175 breakfast meals. That is a lot of eggs. So how many showers have I taken? 17,175 - No, can't say I have showered every day. When we go camping I don't shower. Might be the best part about camping - no showers! I do brush my teeth though - brush, floss, brush! There are some (and I won't name names) whom choose to make fun of me for my dental hygiene. Now let's wonder about work - I started working as a full time teacher at the 20 years of age - that makes 26 years of working. On average I work 225 days a year times 26 years =5,850 days. Of course that does not count the years I worked before the age of 20. Goodness when we owned Tony's we worked everyday. That was 5 years of working everyday. 5 times 365 = 1,825 days plus 5,850 days = 7,675 days of work. Now if I add the days I worked prior to Tony's, babysitting, umpiring, painting/wallpapering/building a house - things like this I'll add another 100 days of work - 7,775 days of work. 17,175 days of life minus  7,775 days of work = 9,400 days I have not worked. Almost half of my living days I have worked - dang that is a lot! 47 birthdays - 17,175 days of life. So I wonder how many baseball games I have watched...162 games in a season; I'll say I watch half of them (that is just an estimate some years more some years less) 81 games a year times 47 years3,807 games. Of course you have to subtract the years when I was too young to watch games - So lets round it to 3,000 baseball games. This is fun! Sometimes being completely rational is the best way to go. Watching the Bones marathon with Emily. The lead character is brilliant and scientific - everything makes sense when you look at it from her analytical point of view. The only time she runs into trouble is when she allows feelings into the her equation - for some reason she keeps falling in love with killers. I think that is just a plot line. Talk about bad judgement! I wish I had an IQ over 200. One time I scored 159 on an IQ test - that is one point shy of genius. Just one point. Just one answer or partial answer could have put me in the genius status - that would be cool to say; "I am a genius." I am so not a genius - Did you know that everyday 36 children find out they have cancer. Doesn't that seem like a lot of kids? How awful! That is a number, a statistic we don't need. Of course it does seem the experts find a new cause for cancer everyday. One day you should not eat ice cream, the next day it is hot dogs - the air we breathe, the cars we drive, the paint on our walls! Is anything safe? I watch a lot of television - in my 17,175 days of life (That doesn't seem like a lot of days, are my calculations bad, I am not a math whiz!) That one point on the IQ test was probably on a math question. Anyway, 4 hours times 17,175 days times 4 hours = 68,700 hours of television watching. If I divide the hours total by 24 = 2,865 days of television watching - OK, that is a lot I'll give you that. Everyone has their guilty pleasures. There should be a double factor in there because the hours of television watching include baseball games which I already calculated - so I won't double count those hours. How much time do you reckon I spend on the computer? How many games of softball have I played? How many meals have I cooked - should I count all the dishes of spaghetti from Tony's? That would be a lot of pasta served. Go ahead - choose something you have done a lot of and calculate the number of times you have done so in your lifetime. It can be fun. Or maybe you don't have anything better to do - or like me you are trying to avoid doing your homework. Lisa out!
