Interestingly enough, a recent study shows that lower lights are better for creativity. All I know is that I have always preferred it dim when I'm writing.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-33398663011993643382015-06-24T16:21:32.800-07:002015-06-24T16:21:32.800-07:00That is pretty funny.

I tend not to turn on lights a lot of the time, not because I don't know how, but I don't really need them. I kind of like walking around in a dark house as long as it's not because the power is off.

My parents left me home with the kids (I'm the oldest of five) and without the kids, so I had that light thing down. ;) They actually went on a couple weekend trips when I was in high school, where they just stayed at a hotel in town to have some alone time.

I was always at home alone (from the time I was like 6 on up), and I learned how to take care of myself.

I've tried convincing her that the light switch flips in two directions, but so far, she only has found the one.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-25477798819476650052015-06-22T05:31:15.178-07:002015-06-22T05:31:15.178-07:00Didn't know to turn on the lights.
