you now owe me six cents

1. Lemmings and Lemurs are not the same thing. If you are wondering what the differences are, Lemmings look cute and small and furry and like perennially pregnant hamsters, and they periodically, accidentally run off cliffs in droves.

Lemurs don't.

2. Imagine my surprise when I discovered, at two o'clock in the morning, that my daily vitamins have caffeine in them. Fun! FUN! FUNFUNFUNFUNFUNFUNFUNFUNFUNFUN!!!!!!!!

3. I recently went to a very interesting set of sales meetings, but due to a confidentiality agreement that I signed, this is all I can tell you. I got to the ___________________. I sat down in the back and listened to _______ say, "Thanks for coming! ____________________ and _________________, but the ______________ is ______________ and I think ________________ should _______________ with the ____________. Additionally, I think ___________________ is a good __________________ while _________ probably ________________. Afterwards _________________________ will do _________________ on the _________ with a _____________ and the__________ should start __________________. Otherwise, _______________ and feel free to __________ with the _________ on the ___________."

4. If you are wearing pants the button up the side, I highly recommend not wearing a belt that fastens in the front. If you do, however, it's advisable not to wait until the very last second to pee.

5. "Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. 'Pooh,' he whispered.
'Yes, Piglet.'
'Nothing,' said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, 'I just wanted to be sure of you.'"

6. Here's an interesting list of characteristics, taken from the book Secrets of Six Figure Women, by Barbara Stanny. She says you should try to whittle the list down to five values you couldn't live without. I managed to get it down to about 11, but had a hard time after that. Go ahead, you try it.

On first whittle I got it down to 16, that wasn't even trying, just knocking off the obvious.
Then I knocked it down to 8 pretty easily. That is this:
Adventure
Creativity
Discovery
Family
Happiness
Love
Simplicity
Truth
If I had to get it down to five, I suppose it'd look like this:
Adventure
Creativity
Happiness
Love
Truth
