The Richter scale of Life's poop

Here's a litle education on the Richter scale. A Richter scale is what measures intensity of earthquakes. I came up with a lif version Richter scale that I thought I'd use in any future blogs about my disasters of life. I doubt people want to hear the happy, joyful news...I'm sure my disasters are more amusing.
