Just Ask Georgia: 1/17/2024

Georgia, I have a question,

I am on Tinder - often. And I tend to lean towards the hardworking men I find who work at Walmart. Why? Why am I drawn to labor-intensive workers who bring us the many household goods we know and love at WallyWorld? I can't get enough of the blue smocks with the yellow logo on the back, the calluses on their hands, and the love of mid-morning meetings. Why can't I be attracted to a doctor or a lawyer? Why a WallyWorld Worker?

Walmart Lover

Lover,

You are a lover, not a fighter. Don't fight against those you have a true attraction to! Maybe it's because you know they are hard workers? Maybe it's because their little smock fits just right in all the best places? Who knows? Who cares? Just go with the flow! BUT be careful on Tinder!

With love, Georgia

Georgia, I have a question,

This is a bit of a random question, but the answer has been bugging me for a long time. Ok - on a microwave, if you push 60, then it will cook for 60 seconds or one minute (following me?) AND if you also press 1:00, it will cook for one minute, or 60 seconds (right? Right?) OK! Well, my question is, if you add 1:00 +1:00 that is 2:00, right? So your food will cook for a total of two minutes. But if you add 60 seconds + 60 seconds it will only cook for one minute and twenty seconds. Even though 60 seconds is one minute! (I know, confusing question!)

I guess to put it into simplest terms = how come 1 minute + 1 minute = 2 minutes, but 60 seconds + 60 seconds = only one minute and twenty seconds?

One Minute or What?

Or What,

We need to take you back to basic math class as well as basic clock and time knowledge. Let me know when you'd like to visit the third grade class and I'll take you.

With love, Georgia
