new to IPv6 - I have some basic addressing questions.

I am new to IPv6. I've used IPv4 since the late 80s so its mostly the V6 part that I have questions on.

My local ISP ( Frontier Texas region ) still does not do IPv6 so I've never really seen much need for it.. one reason I haven't paid much attention to it. Seriously... the MAJOR thing I've never liked about IPv6 is because I am old and set in my ways and I've am very familiar with IPv4 addresses and subnets.

I see:
2607:f8b0:4023:100b::64

fe80::2a13:ff4f:44ff:c1e2

fe80::fc54:ff:fe59:4166

fe80::fc54:ff:fe34:35d4

fe80::2e0:4cff:fe6a:6edd

fe80::c24:eb03:3c7d:d777

fe80::dc49:5a0:2144:8ca9

fe80::aad4:ce50:2157:56c2

and I just want to bury my head in my pillow...

I was asking google about setting up a local ipv6 network and it said that I could use:
fd00:10:12:14::31 (NIC 1 for serverA)

fd00:172:16:12::31 (NIC 2 for serverA)

fd00:10:12:14::32 (NIC 1 for serverB)

fd00:10:12:14::4 (NIC 1 for serverC)

is that True? I could have used those all along? That never occurred to me. I know that it's hex and not base 10.. but I am a visual person and I can visualize those ips just fine.

is it really that simple?
