I wanted to thank everyone for their input on this post.....it was freakin hilarious.  I went ahead and consolidated everything, and this is my first diary post....so bare with me on the formatting b/c I will be fixing it in a "trial and error" method.  Any suggestions on enhancing this list will be appreciated.
