Thoughts

Random bits:

* Bamboo apparently can overcome the plant-killing powers of those with an "anti-green thumb".

* Obsessing over things doesn't help.

* Buying shiny, useless things - while fun - isn't good for one's finances, especially during a bad economy.

* Buying shiny, awesome things rocks, regardless of finances and economy.

* When pulling a band-aid off, best to yank hard and pull it off quickly. Unless it's one of those new, super-sticky band-aids. Those tear. Then you have to repeat a lot.

That kind of sucks, actually.

* A steady diet of news leads to depression. Best to mix liberally with brain-candy programming (DVDs, cheesy tv, etc.).

* Trying to teach is the best way to learn.
