“We’re old souls with unfinished business.” The Best Six-Word Memoirs of the Week
Friday, September 24th, 2010
This week, Twitter was plagued with more fail whales than the Cape Cod coast (and SMITH got a taste of bad tech medicine, too), Eddie Fisher and Larry Summers both moved on (neither, seemingly, voluntarily), and health care reform kicked in (bringing Tea Party pots to a boil). And your Six-Word Memoirs gave us strength (and a few good laughs). Here are six six-worders we love from the week ending September 24. Click on each author’s name to check out more memoirs.

This is wonderful! Just stumbled onto your site, and I love it! Will save this to my favorites for ideas for writing and working with my teen-aged students; most of my own lesson plans and material are designed for younger students. Your site will help me with my “older crowd!” And I love that six-word memoir! That is me exactly: an old soul with unfinished business! Why else would anyone incarnate down here?!
Hi everyone, I’d like to give you one good tip to help you set up your business in the future. With optimize customer service, you can outsource a department of your business to another company. I, for example, recently outsourced my customer service department to this particular company, and guess what. I was pleased with their work: in just a couple of months they were able to adjust all the work and improve the productivity of the department by 34%, which is very high in such a short time.
