1. Oh yeah, think I'll pull up a chair over here...........
very slow learning curve in my life. It's taken me a long time to learn somethings, and with others it's still not sunk in. :shrug:

10. The Universe is intrinsically uncertain.
Nothing is guaranteed to come out the same way twice. Therefore, doing the same thing over and over will indeed ultimately produce a different outcome. It might take trillions of years, but it will happen. You just have to be patient.

14. That's a pretty good definition of insanity.
And it really does describe some people so well.
