we all have them, it’s just that not everybody admits to having them – you know, those random questions that you’re too embarrassed to ask. i thought that with me being a little random, i might get away with it, so here we go…
if you could help me in my plight to find the truth, i’d be eternally grateful.
yours eternally with much love,

I have a question. How do you bring happiness and light to so many people’s lives week in week out?

I’ve no idea on the fitted sheet either! But I’m pretty confident it’s twice on the “what?” front
Oh, and nice blicks on the office wall!

Fitted sheets are a pain, aren’t they? You can pull it off though. You kind of have to lay them out and then fold the top and bottom sides in which will pull the sides in on top so they over-lap. Think of it like when you collapse a box from a clothing store.
You do that and it can be somewhat, kinda, sorta folded. A bit.
I think the real secret is people just roll them up into something relatively organized and then just toss them in the back.
Also, as someone who waved goodbye to sanity a long time ago, I’d just like to point out that people who are normal are boring. They’re not fun. There’s no element of randomness and chaos to the way they do things and thus you always know what’s going to happen next. Random people are interesting.
Don’t lose that. People go on retreats and pay lots of money to become like us.

I have a question too…
What the hell happened to Black Eyed Peas?
They used to be a half decent rap crew but they have turned into DJ Sammy and Cascada’s even gayer lovechild.

Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs says:
OK, so some answers.
1) Folding a fitted sheet? Look for the corners, usually just above the fabric where the elasticated bit is. Use those as your holding points, and let the fabric hang naturally from there. Fold across the short end, then tuck in the bit that’ll point out at the bottom, then fold in half across the long end. Fold in half across the longest edge until it’s the right length to fit in your drawer.
2) The smile and nod thing? I do it *all* the time. I don’t always hear things properly, so I’ll just wait until it makes sense
3) (not sure on this one!) The freezer doesn’t have a light because I imagine it’ll get too much frost across it and not emit any light. Of course, it could also be that if the glass bulb goes from frozen to HOT (when the light’s on) it might shatter?
4) I thought LOL still meant “Laugh out loud”. I’ll frequently follow up after LOL…. but on the other hand, if you laugh in a conversation, it’ll sometimes stop the conversation while you recover from your laughter?
And a question… Why are us boys so determined to answer questions with a solution, when sometimes the question is just supposed to be a talking point?
Happy thursday

The sheet thing is an issue I face every time I wash the bed linen. The fact is you can’t fold them properly so you just have to FAKE IT! Yeah you heard me.
So long as it looks nice and folded in the drawer once you’re done, no one’s any the wiser until it’s time to put the sheets on the bed at which point they’re all unfolded again.
You don’t even have to worry about the sheet having creases in – your duvet will cover them all up and no one will know!

Ahhh…the fitted sheet. If you really want to fold it, this is the way a friend of mine taught me how to do it:

Note, that’s not my friend, but still, same technique. Note as well that more often than not, I only do that to impress people (aka women), and usually I just fold-wad it until it’s about the same size as the folded top-sheet.
My question: Just who shot who at the Copa, Copacabana? (Barry never actually told us and it’s always bothered me.)

I just roll the fitted ones makes it easier to know to tell apart from the flats!!
Thanks for keeping us all smiling Mel!!

Why when I call a girl after a date my other girl friends tell me it’s too soon or too late to call? Is there really a perfect timing?

What’s more worrying than the lack of a bulb in the freezer, is whether the light in the fridge actually turns off when you close the door ??
How do you know that it does ?

All that bloody smiling, I bet the tress you mowed down to write all that down aren’t smiling now are they. Yeah! How does Tree Beard and his (incredibly slow moving) buddies feel about that!
Btw, the sheet thing, just screw that bad boy up & throw it in a draw – Sorted!

Mel says:
Jason – I’m not sure that I do, but if I do, I’m very very happy
Glenn – Right, twice it is. The office is coll isn’t it?
Doug – Thanks for the advice. I kinda agree too, I like not being normal. Normal’s dull
Dan – Aw, don’t be a grump, I love that song
Jon – Thanks for the answers. On this occasion, I did actually want answers
Clint – You’re very welcome, thanks for being awesome as always!
Jorge – I think the next day, in the evening. Don’t leave it too long, girls hate games…
Jason – Haha because if you’re cunning and close it most of the way, it eventually turns off!
Sul – I do recycle, oh and I hug trees to if that helps? I think I’ll take your advice with the sheets!
xox
Fortran – So you answer one question and leave me with another? lol
Mark – This is true and if I’m honest, I rely on my duvet to cover all of the wrinkles!

@Mel – They don’t like the hugs, they see it as a form of sexual harassment. Willow trees on the other hand are terrible, they’re game for anything.
