Just a quickie!

Hellooooooooo out there!!!!!

To my 6/100 real followers, thanks for holding on. I'm back with just a very brief educational tidbit and tiny update on my life and lack of posts.

First off, I just finished 3 weeks at a new job. It's awesome but mentally exhausting. I get home and all I want to do is sleep. I'm also volunteering, which I plan on briefly talking about in the future. Later I'll try and post at least once a week and hopefully increase that once I get the hang of this new occupation.

So on to my quick educational information for the moment. I have a twitter account that honestly, I don't really use to share any moments of my life. I prefer to use it to follow others either for their humor or interesting life facts. In a previous post I've referenced OMGFacts but today I'd like to share a little factoid I picked up from Factlets, which I saw after it was retweeted by a friend.

"Female cane toads inflate their bodies so males they don't want to mate with can't hold on."


They even have a video to accompany this:

Another interesting fact? The explanation above is also the same reason for my recent weight gain! The problem now is attracting the males I do want.

Alright. That's it for now. I'm thinking of posting something tomorrow. I've got a lot of material from my previous job that I'm just dying to share and after that I'll do a brief post about my new job and how I got it.

  3. good to see you back! the only problem with your plan is that you also have to be coated in mucus all the time.

  4. I loved this post :). You see, us humans don't have to worry about being capable of holding on. We have other tools, such as rope, duct tape and roofies. <______< Just sayin'.
    C-los.

  5. Welcome back! Also, it'll take more than some back fat and slimy mucus to keep a guy off. How about something like a puffer fish? It's hard to stay aroused when you're getting stabbed 4,000 times simultaneously.

  6. Thanks for the advice beer buddy but then I'd just attract the masochists. There's no winning with men! ;-)

  7. You may be following us, but some of us are following you too for your witty humor and interests. :-) <----that's a funny smiley btw.. long face.. Anyway, continued good luck on the new job. I puffed myself up like to toad too. Wish we could unpuff ourselves as easy, right! Not so sure about Carlos and his comment.
