Get the Vertical Lips mug.When a hamster finds themselves really tuckered out, after all that cardio. And doesn't want to move from the wheel before taking a nap.
Man. Moo Moo sure has been falling asleep at the wheel a lot lately. I wonder how much he'd hate me if I poked his little belly right now.

Get the Falling asleep at the wheel mug.(1.) A word someone uses, whenever there's a hard (but simple) reality in front of them, they don't want to face.
Things that are genuinely/inherently complicated, are called, "complex". (You'll notice nobody refers to their relationship status as "complex", because deep down even they know they're lying to themselves. )
(2.) A synonym for "None of your business".

(2.) A synonym for "None of your business".
(1.) He says he doesn't want a relationship right now, because he's got a lot going on. His direct response and terrible excuse make things so complicated. Ugh. Whatever will I do with these obscure words shrouded in mystery?
(2.) Person A: "How about you tell me that Mountain Slope story Sheila?"
Person B: "Maybe another time Jerry. It's complicated."

Get the Complicated mug.In general, intuition means knowledge you have, that you are not consciously aware of. (It does not mean "feeling" or emotion.)
Most of the data your brain processes from your environment, is unconscious. But to be "intuitive" is to tap into this unconscious data particularly well.
Intuition can take several forms:
(1.) Intuition as flight/flight/instinct-
This is when your brain picks up on subtle environmental cues and rings an alarm bell like a lightning bolt of clarity, that something is about to go seriously wrong. It could be a person's micro-expressions or body language, a change to a structure or physical object, a combination of sounds...Or any number of things. But whatever it is, your unconscious mind recognizes it and is trying to save your ass.
(2.) Intuition as any kind of knowledge you have, you aren't consciously aware of.
A really intuitive person, could potentially watch a Kung Fu movie. Forget about it. Get in a fight. And only then realize they remembered a lot of the moves.
Another example would be hearing the show Jeopardy play in the background, because someone else is watching it. Maybe their mind is on their laundry and they're not really paying attention to the show. Nothing registers at the time. But a couple weeks later at college trivia night, they realize they have all these answers to random historical facts they didn't have before.

Get the Intuition mug.Similar to sleep apnea accept the source of you not being able to breathe/waking up... is your cat parking their butt on your face.
Apparently it's a really comfortable napping position.
Apparently it's a really comfortable napping position.
I woke up gasping for air, thinking my sleep apnea was acting up again. But no. It was just Garfield's vibrating butt on my face, purring. I'm calling it catnapnea.

Get the Catnapnea mug.Loyalty is basically the word "investment" but with an opinion or point of view attached.
Loyalty is treated like a virtue, but it can't inherently be one, by itself. Case in point: People in hate groups are very loyal. So is someone with Stockholm Syndrome.
Investing your time and energy in a person or idea, over time...is a completely neutral act without a who, what or why attached.

Investing your time and energy in a person or idea, over time...is a completely neutral act without a who, what or why attached.
Loyalty is such a dubious, perspective based word. It's right up there with "honor". Other virtues like love and honesty, are intrinsically valuable even if you love or are honest with the wrong person. This is not the case with loyalty. Being loyal to the wrong people is often based on fear, codependence, or the "birds of a feather" principle.

Get the Loyalty mug.I think it's interesting we chose popcorn as our food of entertainment, when it's the only food we've got that purposefully explodes over and over again. Especially when it's made old fashioned style, on a stove with a clear lid....It's like watching corn fireworks.
