It's a very old stickie though. :) Funny how you stop "seeing" stickies. And if you're posting from a phone or a tablet you have to hit a different tab to see them.

I kind of like this because it's asking us to come up with 50 reasons of our own, rather than adding to someone else's list.

I'm going to have a ponder and see if I can come up with 50 reasons personal to me. Not sure if Zombie Apocalypse will feature on my list but I love the idea. :D

2. Being over weight is stopping us from having our ultimate goal in life - No1

7. Want to be confident that I will fit on any seat on a Roller Coaster and not have to queue for the oversized seat - or not go on any at all!
