I'm sorry, but the world needs more: 1) random minutia; and 2) alliteration
Hence, this weekly bumpable thread's creation.

Deal with it.

1. I generally prefer conifers to deciduous trees. Although, I do enjoy the changing colors in fall.
2. Is it normal for one's weight to fluctuate +/- 16 lbs in a year?
3. One of our neighbors smokes. He likes to stand out on his back patio at night with his rear floodlight on, smoke, and stare into our windows
4. My lucky number is 17
5. I have started playing games again on fb. Damn, they can be addictive!
