i'm really terrible at reading out-loud. and it makes me feel ridiculous that i'm 27 and when i'm reading out-loud it seems i have a grade 5 reading level. when in fact, i'm a good reader. i read a lot! i read big books, i have a fairly broad vocabulary. my reading comprehension is quite high, it's just reading out-loud. it trips me up, i get breathless, i add in words that aren't there. it's frustrating. last week at storytellers anonymous we had to read out-loud what we'd written. it was very embarrassing. because i'm not an idiot, i just struggle when i read out-loud. so i've decided to start practicing. i used to do that, i'd read my bible out-loud to myself, but i guess at some point i couldn't be bothered anymore, so i reverted to silent reading. my logic tells me it's just a matter of practice and i'll eventually get the hang of it. and maybe some day feel almost comfortable reading to a group of people.
for the first time in my life, i think i may have a good head on my shoulders. so many times i've been betrayed by myself. but i've been getting my mind, soul and body aligned. unified for the greater good.
time is fabulous. isn't it amazing what a little time will do? i dunno, so far i haven't faced anything that a little time can't heal or set straight. step back – space brings perspective.
my mayonnaise expired on april 11, do you think it's unwise to use it in a potato salad?? i need some advise.
your life, little girl,
is an empty page
that men will want to write on.

It depends on what you feel is the error on the expiry date. surely the mayonnaise doesn't know if it's april 11 or not!
i spent a long time in a meeting today discussing different error methods that people believe in. So if you are a standard error believer, do not eat the mayo. If you are 95% Confidence interval, do.
Or you might want to taste it before you make the salad.
but i made it on monday and i can't tell if it's still good. oh dear, i'm not good with these things.
is it really an expiry date, or a best before date? remember that a lot of those things are just put on to ensure that the store keepers rotate their stock, and to keep you from buying 10-year-old mayo.
and further, mayo lasts for months once it's open... so probably a few days doesn't make a big difference. trust your nose and your eyes.
if you made the salad a few days ago, it would have more "stuff" involved than just mayo, so it's a bit more risky.
that's what i think. :)
ps nalu's in labour :)
