We learned a song in elementary school for the states, but I can only remember up to about Massachusetts.<BR/><BR/>I confess I don't use my idle time like I should. Sometimes I'll play a crossword, which is also supposed to fend off Alzheimers, but it's not nearly as helpful as memorizing scripture.Owl of the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744606271353048227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201214.post-38882066520585485892008-01-30T12:08:00.000-06:002008-01-30T12:08:00.000-06:00Mike: See, I knew you were hooked too! :)Jeremy: M...Mike: See, I knew you were hooked too! :)<BR/><BR/>Jeremy: My brain can't keep up with your brain in most things, so that's why I have to exercise it from time to time. Just wish my brain could more easily remember the important stuff, but I'm trying to train it to do better!<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth: I don't know why I'd ever need to know the perfect squares, but it just seems like good information. Guess I continue to be involved in math in the way that I can. Sometime, I take psychology tests just to keep up my knowledge - in the math areas especially. But, you're right... none of this probably is very useful except to keep my mind going. They say that helps fend of Alzheimers and dementia. We'll see.<BR/><BR/>Would be better, probably, if I just stuck to the scriptures.stremhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607081379914875059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201214.post-31135114438477815502008-01-29T20:46:00.000-06:002008-01-29T20:46:00.000-06:00I've done that!

(But I have been there, if you count passing through for twenty minutes on the interstate being there).<BR/><BR/>Why test yourself? Especially the perfect squares, who needs that? <BR/><BR/>I hope the learning of the Bible books goes well. I did it a few years ago - most of what I remember is just from practical use though.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814864743807777464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201214.post-71142026905508062302008-01-29T19:38:00.000-06:002008-01-29T19:38:00.000-06:00You are quite a busy bee!

I don't like idle time myself, but I do much less productive stuff (like spider solitare or freecell) Maybe I should try to strengthen my mind instead!Kelly Spezzanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099958814823472535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201214.post-15507069591139683542008-01-29T19:26:00.000-06:002008-01-29T19:26:00.000-06:00Yeah, my brain gets tired just reading about what ...Yeah, my brain gets tired just reading about what your brain's up to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201214.post-86553694420454279852008-01-29T17:25:00.000-06:002008-01-29T17:25:00.000-06:00Your mind is WAY too active, my friend.

Sometimes I make conversation or daydream (pondering the mystery of Tater Mitts and other such wonders).Michael Engelhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313790113749912606noreply@blogger.com
