A Low Maintenance Post

I've got some work to do... Okay, actually, I'm going to catch up on a couple chapters of "Moonraker" and update my personal budget ledger. At any rate, I've knicked the following list from the Tattooed Debutante, who "max" apparently warned me about? I'm not sure what the story is on that one, but here's the list. If you decide to swipe it from me (Wife, I'm looking at you!), post a link to your version of it and I'll come comment.
