Not to start threads about any random thing that pops in my head, either.

I learned that even though special interests don't last forever, you should still enjoy them to the fullest while you have them. Therefore you shouldn't feel guilty about spending extra money on them.

I learned that it is best to keep my windows dirty because birds will try repeatedly to fly into them when they are very clean.

It is kind of creeping me out... five birds tried to get into different windows. It is bizarre.

Always be yourself at all times, no matter what.

Don't try to be what you're not, or else you will only hurt yourself.

From my garden:

Eggplant flowers are purple and white.
Radishes grow really fast.
My cucumber vines like to slowly suffocate my sweet pea plants.
Tea made from fresh chocolate mint leaves is really awesome.

I learned that at least two with options on three of my colleagues are prepared to treat me with contempt. Cue many mental recitations of Please My Favorite Don't Be Sad.

I learned that all snorkels are the same length as... any snorkel you have ever seen!
This is because if you try to breath underwater with a snorkel longer than that, you will get a brain hemorrhage or something,
I forget what.
Anyway, it's totally illegal to sell one longer than that
