    Don't put metal things in the microwave!  Umm yeah, my parents never told me about that when I was little but then they yelled at me when I did like I was somehow supposed to know not to do that without them telling me.

    12.  Join the sports team; those books aren’t going anywhere, and you can always read them no matter what your physical fitness level is.

    11.  You don’t need all that junk food.

    10.  Follow the advice of people who know what they’re talking about. 

    9.  Don’t procrastinate. 

    8. If you have poor posture throughout your childhood, your teens, and your young adult years, by the time you hit middle age, it’s too late to reverse it.

    7.  Don’t be in such a hurry to get married; if you expect the marriage to last your entire lifetime, there’s nothing wrong with waiting two or three years to get yourself properly prepared for it. 

    6.  By pounding home the lesson that children shouldn’t cry when they feel like crying, you’re teaching them to bottle up and hide their feelings later in life.

    5.  There’s no such things as starting too early to save money for your future.

    4.  Do the Kegel exercises every single day. (Men and women.)

    3.  Canvas the neighborhood for at least two months before buying you house. Once the signatures are in and you find out all the negatives, it’s too late.

    2. He/she is not going to change once the vows have been said, people are who they are, so what you see before that date is exactly what you get. 

    1. He/she is not going to stay the same once the vows have been said, people grow, mature and evolve, so what you see before that date won‘t always be the same.

    1)Children ultimately pay the dearest price for the failures and iniquities of adults.

    2) The service of faith has caused more human suffering than all other forces we control, combined.

    3) People lie. People are willing to accept lies if it shields them from hard truths. The biggest liars seldom pay the market price for them.

    4) People take too many things for granted. Health, time, freedom, plumbing, family.

      What’s this?  You don’t like licking yourself?  Oh, wait, I think I misread that. 


    Never mind.

    - Except certain specialty nuts and bolts with 'reverse threads'.  Example; certain Chrysler vehicles had reverse threads on the right side wheel nuts. I had this feature on an old 1968 Dodge van.

    That there is a responsibility
    for all of our actions.
    And that Karma is inescapable.

    You always speak such truth with such little word.
    I admire that.
