Remember do not to pull into the carport when your bike is on the roof rack. :confused: :eek: :(
to almost any question that begins "Wouldn't you raaaaaather.....?" is a firm, kind, "no".
Do not close the garage door when your car is inside with the hatch open. If you do begin to close the garage door, DO NOT hit the button again to re-open the door before you close the hatch.
When you go to the portajohn, make sure that your phone is SECURELY clipped to your belt. Better yet, put it inside your fanny pack before you go.
+1 7th grade and colored jeans were the rage just not that color. I remember begging to transfer schools from my mother. Shudder.Quote:

Couples do not need to sit down and talk. It usually ruins the relationship. If you want to grow old peacefully and happily with someone, accept them for who they are and hold your tongue. The irritation will pass. It's better than the frustration of getting into a three hour go-nowhere "talk."
(I'm still learning this one, and usually have the most trouble during that time of the month. When I feel the urge to bring stuff up, I check it and remind myself that a lot of it is hormones.)
AAAAAGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :(Quote:

It clears the air, enables us to understand each other better....but it sure is a lot of work! :oQuote:

And its companion....never hit SEND if you've just written something when angry or upset....have a cup of tea and wait at least an hour or two, or better yet wait until the next morning before you send it.Quote:
Double check before pressing "send" that you did not do a "reply all."
Dangit I learned this one too! Only mine was stuck in the pocket of a hoodie. Have a dang funny picture above my guest bath toilet because I will never live this down. :pQuote:

Do not wear summer tennis shoes for a 3.5hr ride when it is 30 degrees. :rolleyes:
(I purchased toe covers at a lbs at the destination city for the ride home)
You know the worst part? It was three weeks before the new iPhones came out. I was going to get one. If it had been TWO weeks, I could've signed a new contract with Verizon and then cancelled out of it. Now I have another year and a half to go on my new Verizon contract.Quote:

Here's mine from yesterday: before turning the Nalgene bottle upside down to shake it and mix the Crystal light, double check to be sure the lid is actually ON. (Got a lap full of drink at my desk yesterday. Fortunately it didn't hit my laptop. :cool:
And from a Christmas party last year: Before resting your full red wine glass on the vanity sink and letting go of it to go to the bathroom, be sure the sink surface is LEVEL. (The glass slipped into the sink and bounced the contents out all over and that bathroom looked like a murder scene: red wine all over the cream colored walls. :eek: )
Maxi pads and floating do not mix. The river levels drop.
The worst part for me is DH asking "You didn't grab it? You know for your numbers?" I was already mad as all get out like I wanted to grab it. Portapotties and cell phones don't mix but we do have a good laugh at little ol' me's expense and this happened in February 2006!Quote:

Also:
(1) it is possible to bonk while riding a motorcycle. (2) if you DO bonk while riding a motorcycle, you can do a lot more damage than if you bonked riding a bicycle.
:eek:
1. The inner strands of paracord will catch fire when you are melting them and they come apart and drip...make sure you aren't holding it when you do this. (The burn on my hand is still not healed 3 weeks later)
2. If it looks like it is going to rain, don't rollerblade for the first time on the sidewalk along the river...It started raining, I slipped and rolled down the bank into the river. That hurt!
Unclip BEFORE you try to dismount your bike. :p
Listen to your gut. Especially in love. If you constantly have to rationalize why you are with that person....you just SHOULDN'T be.
See, this is why I pay 4.99 a month for phone insurance. I have had several phones that have either stopped working mysteriously (their fault) and one that got dropped in a puddle (my fault, but I didn't tell them that) that have been replaced for free under the insurance, and it doesn't reset your contract or the "new in two" thingey.Quote:

When taking a call over a TTY or TDD machine presumably with someone who is deaf mute your phone and do not assume they can not hear you :rolleyes: because if you type:
"oh, I am so sorry that happened to you, I'll fix that right away ..."
and say
"You so and so, you call me every month about this I bet you ____"
you can find out that they do hear juuuuuust enough :o
There are strings attached when a husband offers his wife a massage. Be forewarned :)
1. Live by the golden rule;
2. If you don't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut;
3. Be careful what you ask for!
Safety Tip for the day:
Don't fry bacon in the nude..........
I have no idea how to react to that other than ":eek:"Quote:

On asphalt or concrete, roll, don't slide. :o
If a patient comes in and acts as though he only speaks Spanish and not a word of English, he could be playing a practical joke on you....you will know this when the Doctor takes him back and you hear loud laughter. :rolleyes:
I can't get past the nude bacon frying...
Maybe the doctor speaks Spanish?Quote:

Do not include a large unopened box of bounce in your washing machine when you wash a load of whites.
Since we don't use Bounce down this way & it's been many many years since using it..can you explain why you don't put bounce with whites??
Are you talking about the sheets of bounce or liquid bounce?
I think the key is unopened box!!
AGH...i read it so quickly whilst eating brekkie at work that i missed the unopened bit..:o
Stuff I learned the hard way -Quote:

I agree..Quote:
