I learned this large flock of Ravens that live around here can be unbelievably loud early in the morning.

I keep a screw in my coat pocket. I use it for stimming (together with a plastic pearl in the same pocket) and for feeling armed when I feel threatened. :P

I learned that an unkindness of ravens can also be called a conspiracy.

I've learned the truth about somebody, but I won't mention names. He posts here.

The person who recently started a thread on perfection.

I've learned that I had been eating these raman noodles that are jammed packed full of gluten for quite some time. I thought I had food poisoning from it.

I also learned that one of my cats, that I found outside, may have a mother and a brother/sister still outside. :( It makes me sad. I got him in December. I saw a big fluffy black female cat and another male small kitty that looks like him.

I learned that the healthcare reform bill passed... To be enacted in 2014. Thanks, I'm really appreciative of having to wait 4 years for your stupid laws to help me, when I need it NOW!

Chicken for breakfast does not taste nearly as good, as chicken for supper.

I learned that The Kinks did a number of songs that I'm familiar with but never knew they did because I had never looked them up before.

Thanks, Cockney Rebel :)

That I'm not good enough to "own the audio system", but I'm good enough to buy crap for it.
