Oh yeah, don't get me started on crickets and frogs either. I love the things but once I'm on edge they make me furious!

It's not as personal as that. Down voting just means that the post/comment will be further down if you're sorting by 'top'. The more upvotes the closer that thing will be to the top of the page. It's not just for you, it's for everyone. If that makes sense?

For sure! I have a very poor memory so not matter how much I try, a lot of what I learn never sticks. But I do keep a book full of everything I've done interesting about my interest (animals) and I really love that book. I can find the pages I've written on a specific animal and learn it all over again.

It still makes me feel bad whenever people put me on the spot because I feel like I /should/ know. But whatever, this interests is about making me happy not other people. Just enjoy yourself!
