Itty Bits of Un-Solicited Wisdom

Okay, here goes. (Warning: the following advice reflects my beliefs and experiences. Stop right there if you're thinking I have any qualification for this.)
And revisit the site - it's on-going.

• Don't spit on Superman's cape. Oh. Well, okay; Jim Croce might have thought of that first. But still good advice.
• Don't do anything that requires an expenditure of calories ... on a full stomach. Just go to the couch.
• Don't look a grizzly in the eyes. (Or a strange dog.) Back slowly away and RUN!
• Don't be honest when answering any personal questions like Does this make my butt look big? or Is this my color? It's not worth it - they don't really want to know - and you can't win.
• Read. Read. Read. Whatever genre you like. It keeps your mind and imagination active.
• Work crossword puzzles - even the easy "no dictionary needed" type helps keep your brain alive and exercised.
• Don't smoke (funny smoke or the regular type). If you already do, quit. Just do it.
• Pay for DVR service, get the receiver and learn to work the remote. You'll need it to record all your favorite shows - the ones you missed while you were at the beach (or a ballgame or shopping or at a friend's house, etc) and, oh yeah,  use it to mute/cut out all the political ads driving you crazy, especially those in a presidential election year.
• Never wait 'til the last minute (like, immediately before the big event) to try on the new outfit you bought ... leave time to CHANGE YOUR MIND because you never know when you will need it just after you ate that huge meal and the slacks (i.e. the skirt, sweater, you know) no longer feels good, never mind how it actually looks (or what the Hubs tells you)! Women know what I mean. Men will never understand, so don't even speak it out loud. Just save time.
• Don't text and drive. Don't read the text and drive. Don't (and while I'm at it ... don't do the drinking thing and drive, either).
