Four times 9....count to the fourth finger, curl it under and you have 3 fingers...space... 6 fingers ....36!
My stepson taught me this!

0x9 = . 0
1x9 = . 9
2x9 = 1 8
3x9 = 2 7
4x9 = 3 6
5x9 = 4 5
6x9 = 5 4
7x9 = 6 3
8x9 = 7 2
9x9 = 8 1
9x10= 9 0
Not as quick as the hand trick but it helps you memorize them!
Ok thought of some more
- I love to wear jewlery, but I hate earings.
- I love to wear jackets/ sweaters and wear them not matter the temperature.
- I am hooked on all sorts of forums. I am part of many, including PT (well duh! that one's obvious)
- I am pretty shy when it comes to meeting someone face-to-face, but on the internet, I'm not shy at all!
- I love taking pictures, but hate to be in them.
- I was a big time tomboy when I was growing up. Never played with dolls, instead played with beanie babies. Constantly got dirty or hurt playing with my brothers.
That's all for now. I'll try to think of more later.
Well, I'm not quite that bad, but I do mix up or read numbers backwards a lot without realizing it.Quote:

- I have a hard time showing my emotion when I know people are expecting it... such as opening presents. No matter how happy I am, I can't manage to jump up and down and act so excited like others do.
- To me, the best thing to do at night is to go into the part of the woods you don't know (with friends, of course) with only a flashlight. Getting lost. And finding places you'll never think you'll find again.
- I procrastinate... alot.
- People in the neighborhood think I'm crazy. They've told me.
- I'm mad at Arkansas because while living here, I can't own a piranha.
- In pre-school, people used to poke fun at me by calling me a chinese kid because I had slanty eyes. I have no oriental-like genes in me.
- Alot of people think my father is my grandfather.
- I have my grandmum's nose.
EDIT// As in I inherrited it, and my nose is such as hers... I didn't mean that I kept her nose in a jar or something.. that would be rather creepy. x__x
- People mistake me as a college student in real life.
- I'm pretty rad when it comes to bowling.
- I'm not good at math.. or english... or science... or.. any other school subject except art and band^^.
- I hate lunch time at school.
- I like going to funerals of people whom I don't know. Its interesting to talk to the family to hear nothing but good things about that person who died.
- I feel that if I don't make my dad so happy that he cries, that I didn't make him happy enough.
- If I would have been born a male, my name would be Cory Michael instead of Courtney Michelle.
- It amuses me when people say they "like all music except country" or "all music except rap". People limit themselves too much these days.
- I like all music genres.
- More of my friends are guys than girls.
- When I was young, my teachers told my parents that they think I had ADD(or ADHD?). My mum refused to believe it then, but now she keeps telling me she thinks I have it. ^__^
I should really stop there. :D
I procrastinate too! And, I'm often late for work, etc, even though I have plenty of time to get ready. Does anyone else do this? I'm wondering why I do it to myself because I hate being late and what it does to me. So, why do I do it and how can I break the habit?
Ahh!!! How COOL is that!??! I never knew that!Quote:

*I am a horrible speller and would like a spell check button implanted in my brain :o
*I've never met my husband’s grandfather and he hasn't seen him in over 15 years and he lives only 20 minuets from us.
*The thing that kept me from taking my own life a year ago was not knowing what would happen to Buddy. (PTS, shelter, rescue...) :( Because he and my husband still hate each other.
*My mother in law had my husband when she was 16, then got pregnant again 1 month later, then they had another baby 13 years later.
(So my husband is 30 and I have a brother in law that is 29 and another that is 17)
*I was smacked in the face by my father in law (before he was my father in law) one night during a fight when he was drunk, he kept threathing to kill my husband and I was trying to hide him in the basement.
*My husband is a recovering alcoholic and when he was drinking he always had an out of control temper and became verbally abusive during his drunken rages. (JUST like his father!)
*I would love to be a wedding planner
*Nothing burns my a$$ more than "Designer Breeds"
*I would love to move to Alaska.
*My drink of choice at Starbucks is an extra tall, non fat, Carmel Latte.
*I used to have a lot of friends, but only have 1 now that I can really count on.
*When I was planning my wedding my friend appointed herself as my maid of honor and I never stood up for myself and told her that I didn't want her to be. Then she didn't even ask me to be hers for her wedding. :mad:
*I have been a bridesmaid 7 times.
Alright... that's enough!!
OK, I tried to do this and got lost.... :rolleyes:Quote:

Oh Val, that is so me. I get angry with myself every day as I am driving to work 10 minutes late wondering why I do this to myself, and grumbling at people for the first five minutes that I am at work until I can get into the swing of things. I am 5-10 mintues late to everything and hate the fact that I am.Quote:

The sad part about not being able to calculate mentally is that I'm an analyst for a living.. so I always have a calculator or note pad if a work question might have a remote chance of being asked.
You need to use BOTH hands Slick.... :D :rolleyes: :DQuote:

It's interesting that dyslexia came up because I'm right/left dyslexic and have met quite a few people who have the same problem. When giving directions, I used to tell people to look at my hand and not listen to what I'm saying :D My right hand will be out as I describe which way to turn, and it's correct, but my mouth is saying "left". Now I've accepted the problem and glance down at my hands before I say the direction.
