Fluff What have you learned from EB, That you probably wouldn't have learned anywhere else?

OK so I've been using a LadyCup for the first time ever over the last three days, and I have to say it's brilliant. But I honestly can't think of anywhere else I would have found out about these if I hadn't been on EB. I also doubt I would have known about the Aldi coffee machines if I hadn't been on EB either (another recent purchase!!). So, do you have anything you learned about on EB you otherwise may not have known about?

The greatest gift is a passion for reading
That there are people out there living in such fear of the worst happening in life that they walk backwards to the letterbox.

Diva Cup (though I probably would have heard about it eventually as non-EB people I know use cups too) This post has been edited by KristyMum-: 05/04/2012, 07:05 PM

I've learned heaps of facts and ideas - both large and small. But then I am a purveyor of random information Can't think of them all right now though, I've had too much wine!

My snarking is a medical condition.
That people are extremely good at extreme extrapolation from very limited sample sets. Car seat safety has been a huge thing that I have learned from here. The number of people who share some of my parenting ideas that I thought were a touch extreme. The every day life of families with special needs children. EB has really enriched my life.

Diva Cups ASD Kiddos - truly had no clue on it at all. Zombie letterboxes and otto bin covers Walking backwards to letterboxes Bacon Lovers United Club Memes - done well Using so many acronyms so regularly that I have to catch myself to not use them IRL Halloween lovers Trolls The real life hell that generally makes me cry, that some people live through day after day. Its always a joy to see these people get back on their feet and grow from their experiences. and lastly So many truly lovely people..... and a few nutters

That "definitely" would be the most misspelled word in the English language.
