Life Experiences

As I mentioned before, mid-week posts will probably be quickish posts, as they're done when I should either be working or sleeping (currently I should be working, but it's all good). For today, I'm stealing- er, borrowing a post from Mary P. It's pretty self-explanatory, but I'll occasionally make comments to keep it interesting. So now, the Life Experiences Meme:
