Make a little more progress every day. What have you learned today?
 

Today I learned a word, "We will cross that bridge when we get to it." What this means is that we should not worry about problems too early. Try not to worry too much. Cross your bridges when you get to them! This is what I learned today. How about you? Hope that we can share our daily harvest with each other.

That's not a word, fam. That's what we call an idiom.

^ :laughing:

The day before yesterday I learned here that 'commode' can also mean 'toilet'.
True story.
And I also learned the verb 'swoon' here. Never heard or read it before.
I think those are the only two, but I'd like to thank ChelseaDagger and Frownland for expanding my vocabulary.

You should prostrate yourself before them, as a show of grattitude.

I did immediately masturbate with a finger up my butt.

Oh... You said prostrate.

Where's the commode in this dungeon? I gotta take a squirt.

I learned how to do chroma key in Adobe Premiere Pro.

I found out you can buy ket on the internet and that's pretty rad. don't think I'll partake though.

Thank you for helping me correct mistakes!Today I learned more,My english is so poor,but I will never give up.
My friend told me this:
Every frustration in life is meaningful....
As long as you rise up one more time than you fall, it's success.
As the saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success."
Whatever you do and whatever happens,
it shall not let you draw back or fall.
Actually, frustration and failure are not terrible.
What is terrible is that you lose the will to strive for progress.

I learned that OP loves learning English

Today I read a verse in the Bible:"The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar."This verse changed my perception of the poor.

Yesterday I learned that sometimes porn can be better than you might first assume. One minute I'm scoffing at something that looks sub-par, and the next I've nutted three times in an hour.

Today I learned that it is the most meaningful to be honest.Yesterday afternoon I broke a bottle of red wine when I was working,but nobody knew it.At that time,I was so nervous,because that wine is so expensive,it is worth my one days' salary. Then I made a determination to hide the truth,but my heart was uneasy and accused.Because I'm a Christian.If I'm not honest,God will loathes me.But,if I tell the truth ,perhaps I will pay my one days'salary for it.It is too hard to choose.I prayed to God,"God !May you give me faith and strength to tell the truth,I want to be honest."After prayer,my heart calm down and I was full of faith.At last,I told the truth to my manager,to my surprise ,he not only didn't ask me to pay for the wine,but also he praised me.He said ,"You are the most honest one I have ever seen in this company.In fact,several bottles of red wine were broken,but nobody admits，you are the fist and only one to tell the truth.You are really something!"Heard this ,I thank and praise God from my heart.In this experience,I appreciate that it is the most meaningful to be honest

Today I read this,"However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.

It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.

You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace."

Today I learned that no matter how many laxatives I take each day, my bowels will never ****ing move! I literally haven't **** in like a week.

Today I learned that a proper bathroom break at work involves a cigarette and a beer.

Have you tried Movicol hon? Or maybe re-reading Lord Larehip or Roscoe's boring threads might do the trick. If really desperate, try reading my journal!

Today I read a story:
The Story of a Caterpillar
Caterpillar Harmy always thought that he looked very ordinary and nothing special. He admired butterflies for having a pair of beautiful wings to fly freely in the air, admired ants for having super strength to lift up things 50 times heavier than their weight, admired snails for having their own houses and not getting wet when it rains, and admired ladybugs for having beautiful appearance. However, he had nothing special and was merely an unconspicuous caterpillar. Eager to be like them, Harmy imitated them with painstaking efforts, but he failed every time. Harmy was bothered and perplexed about it. He said to God in a depressed tone, “God, you’re full of wisdom and created so many special animals. Why did you create me to be so ordinary? It’s unfair!” God said, “Since I made all those creatures so special, surely you were also made to have your own characteristics. Do you feel you’re a defective work? Although you’re dissatisfied with yourself, I love your original form. Is this not enough? You must remember: I have a special plan for you.” Harmy didn’t understand the special plan God said to him until one day when he broke the cocoon into a butterfly and when God’s plan on him was fulfilled. Then, he finally got the meaning of God’s word “I have a special plan for you.” From the story, it can be seen that everything God created has the value and significance of its existence, and everything has its unique characteristics. We needn’t imitate or envy others. If we were all made from the same mold, how dull and boring the world would be! After all, neither of the two finger prints and two sound waves is the same, not even the pieces of snowflake. The world is like a big stage, where everyone is playing an important role and has their own functions and instincts.

Almighty God says, “Among all things of creation, from the great to the small, from the small to the microscopic, there was none which was not created by the authority and power of the Creator, and there was a unique and inherent necessity and value to the existence of each creature. Regardless of the differences in their shape and structure, they had but to be made by the Creator to exist under the authority of the Creator. Sometimes people will see an insect, one which is very ugly, and they will say, ‘That insect is so horrible, there’s no way such an ugly thing could have been made by God—there’s no way He would create something so ugly.’ What a foolish view! What they should say is, ‘Though this insect is so ugly, it was made by God, and so it must have its own unique purpose.’ In the thoughts of God, He intended to give each and every appearance, and all sorts of functions and uses, to the various living things He created, and so none of the things God made were cut from the same mold. From their exterior to their internal composition, from their living habits to the location that they occupy—each is different. Cows have the appearance of cows, donkeys have the appearance of donkeys, deer have the appearance of deer, and elephants have the appearance of elephants. Can you say which is the best looking, and which is the ugliest? Can you say which is the most useful, and the existence of which is the least necessary? Some people like the way elephants look, but no one uses elephants to plant fields; some people like the way lions and tigers look, for their appearance is the most impressive amongst all things, but can you keep them as pets? In short, when it comes to all things, man should defer to the authority of the Creator, which is to say, defer to the order appointed by the Creator to all things; this is the wisest attitude. Only an attitude of searching for, and obedience to, the original intentions of the Creator is the true acceptance and certainty of the authority of the Creator. It is good with God, so what reason does man have to find fault?” (from A Continuation of The Word Appears in the Flesh)

So, when we are dissatisfied with anything of us, can we try to get some comfort from the word “It is good with God”? God’s plan is perfect. All things God created are perfect and are created by God’s power and wisdom. Each one of us has our particular shining points and qualities. We should treat ourselves properly. Only thus can we be ourselves and be happy, finding the value of ourselves and living out a true meaningful life.

Learn a good thing. How to make a person happy using good words.

Learn a good thing: stop trying to make people care about God who don't give a **** and shove your sanctimonious religious sermons where the sun don't shine.

Hehe no I haven't, is Movicol good at clearing things out? I can sit on the toilet all day reading and have no movements lol.

My sis has to use it every day and it really helps her. Two sachets a day mixed in water. Doctors here swear by it. (Waiting for Batty crude joke....)

Today I learned a song and I remembered the lyrics of the song

Can you type it for us?

No looking.

Of course he can't! Caterpillars don't have fingers! Stupid. :D

Why do they have to swear by it? I can use profanity anywhere I want, so I don't see why doctors have to be so restricted.

They're Irish doctors. Of course they swear!

By why are they forced to do so beside boxes of laxatives?

*shakes head*

Today I learned that Lolitas has the best carnitas tortas on the planet.

We've used it for my daughter. Movicol basically delivers moisture to the bowel so it can help with impaction if that's the problem. Basically the longer poop stays in the bowel the harder it gets because the moisture gets reabsorbed. The other thing that helps my daughter is dulcolax. That stimulates the bowel which can be a bit crampy but it tends to get things moving.

We've used Dulcolax too but find Movicol much more effective. The only thing about it is that it's an ongoing treatment. You can't just use it to clear your blockage and then stop; it will happen again. It's a treatment, not a cure, and to be totally effective you need to use it every day or at least every other day.

Also Jess, sitting still doesn't really help you go. Walking around, particularly up and down stairs, always helps shift things. Just make sure you're within dashing distance of the toilet when things begin to happen!

Today i learned that when Judd apatow was a kid, he was a big fan of Steve Martin and that once he saw him outside his house and asked him for his autograph but Steve refused to give him one so Judd went home and wrote him angry letter saying how he treats his fans like sh*t.

Im not sure what im gonna do with this knowledge..

Watching the video where he probably got that info is a pretty redundant course of action imo.

Judd mentioned that article but i didn't learn it from there though, i learned it from this.



Good to know im not the only one who cares about this sorta stuff.

My logic is sound.
