Why the wedding ring is worn on the fourth finger:
The Chinese give a beautiful explanation to this.
- The thumb represents your parents.
- The index finger represents your siblings.
- The middle finger represents yourself.
- The ring finger represents your life partner.
- The little finger/pinky represents your children.
Hold your hands together like the picture. Join your middle fingers back-to-back, and the remaining fingers tip-to-tip.
Now, try to separate your thumbs. They will separate because your parents are not destined to live with you forever. Rejoin your thumbs and separate your index fingers. They will separate because your siblings will have their own families and lead their own lives. Rejoin your index fingers and separate your little fingers/pinkies. They will separate because your children will grow up, get married, and settle down. Rejoin your little fingers/pinkies and try to separate your ring finger. They will not be able to separate because your life partner is meant to be with you throughout your entire life, through thick and thin.
UM. this makes me happy, and also really makes me want to justify it scientifically, but I’m too lazy to look up why our ring fingers aren’t as autonomous as our other fingers.
1) Stretching before and after a workout.
I don’t mind pain, in fact, in times it’s quite appropriate. Stretching is one of those times. I could lay in a butterfly stretch for hours. (I can also rest my forehead on the ground in a butterfly stretch, buuuuut that’s neither here nor there)
2) Cleaning your ears with a q-tip
I honestly don’t know why this is so gratifying. An acquaintance of mine once said that cleaning out your ears is like having a tiny orgasm. And, y’know, it’s true. In a weird, non-erogenous sort of way. For some reason, sticking a q-tip in my ear and wiggling it around just feels SO RIGHT (hahahahahaha, that’s what she said).
3) Sneezing
Apparently, sneezing is also related to orgasms. I don’t remember how, nor do I care to examine it, but it does leave me with an interesting picture in my mind of snot flying everywhere amidst coitus. Sorry for that image.
4) Dropping the kids off at the pool, ifyaknowwhati’msayin
No comment.
Did I miss anything?
