When slicing chili peppers, whatever you do, DO NOT scratch that itch at the corner of your eye . . .

About turning off the beaters before licking them...also:

Long hair and a hand held mixer do not...well, mix. Scissors are usually involved in the aftermath. If anyone else is present, snide remarks and video cameras too.

Fingers and beaters do not mix either.

You'd think I would learn.

Since we are talking about having to cut your hair.

Being 8 yrs old, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT decide to eat a blow-pop sucker while riding in the back of your dad's pick-up truck, even if your dad says it's ok. Unless you enjoy having your dad cut the sucker out of your hair with a pocket knife!!!!

oldies but goodies;

Do not try to make a ' real cast' for your legs, even if you have read All things bright and beautiful, and are smart enough to figure out how.

Do not twirl round brush in two feet of hair, in a attempt to give it body under a blow dryer

Piercings should always be done by a professional, esp body piercings.

Later in life;
Even if you do interval training every day, lift weights and ride as far as you can go on weekends, you will collapse and die before you get thighs like guys who ride the Tour De France

When roasting marshmallows and you run out, do not use Peeps as a replacement. The sugar melts and turns into liquid fire that hardens instantly on your hand and gives you a serious second degree burn.

**ZenSojourner** · 04-27-2009, 06:15 AM

OMG, that sounds so horrible!

On the other hand, finally I've found a use for Peeps - TORCHES.

BURN, BABY, BURN

Don't tell a group of experienced mountain bikers that you've taken your road bike up a dirt fire road to the highest peak in the county. They'll assume you can handle more than you're letting on to...even when you tell them you have absolutely NO TECHNICAL DESCENDING SKILLS on a mountain bike.

Oh my...I did this when I was four. My poor, poor mother. She didn't want to cut my beautiful long locks, so she painstakingly removed it strand by strand. We don't have any round brushes in the house now!

Dad wasnt too pleased! He spent hours!

90° is NOT too hot to wear long pants while weedwacking. Not unless you like having poison ivy on your ankles.

A friend of mine-

After a hard ride, don't have a hot bath, especially if you are a hotel manager that lives on site without his family.

Calling the security manager to help you out of the bath is also very embarassing- for him and you.

don't put the cayenne pepper next to the cinnamon. It might make sense alphabetically, but even tho they look similar, they do NOT taste similar. When you're expecting a cinnamon roll and get a cayenne pepper roll you will not be pleased.

Self-acceptance is hard- even tho it shouldn't be. The size on my clothes or the number on the scale shouldn't define me.

**tulip** · 07-20-2011, 04:43 AM

It's okay to be happy. Really.

**limewave** · 07-20-2011, 05:01 AM

Tulip--I know! Why is that so hard to learn.

Ahem . . . . To keep bedroom items and medicine cabinet items completely separated! Thera-Gesic does NOT make a good replacement of Astroglide. DH had to retreat to a cold shower and I didn't see him again for at least an hour.
