Most people do the best they can.

A lot of problems you just can’t fix, but if you wait long enough they’ll solve themselves.

95% of what you’re worrying about right now won’t matter a damn in 5 years.

Any meeting can be made bearable by industriously recording cliches–and you’ll look busy, too.

Surest cure for most ills: help someone else, i.e. move the body and get your mind off yourself.

When in doubt, shut up. When not in doubt, shut up anyway.

Never apologize for your tastes.

Always try something new from a menu. Don’t expect to love everything new.

Err on the side of generosity and tolerance. You might need them back someday.

Cut yourself some slack already.

Don’t worry so much about what people will think of you…it won’t matter anyway, you’re bound to please some and make others gripe, no matter what you do.

Make your own fashion statement.

Don’t tell others to ‘watch their step’, it is more likely to make you fall.

If you have a choice between cleaning and having fun…go have fun, the dust will always wait for you. The fun may not.

She’s always right.

Even if she’s wrong, you don’t tell her that.

Even if you’re SURE, don’t say anything.

No, really.

Never talk to people when you’re drunk.

Don’t try to outstubborn a cat.

Store beer in a cold, dark place (or a dark, stomachy place, in a pinch).

People won’t learn anything until it bites them on the ass.

Always make sure you have a ride home.

Leave a way out.

Beauty is its own purpose.

So are kittens.

It may not mean anything, but what the hell, Lachaim!


I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail.

We are all going to become our parents…especially if we have kids!!

My mom is always right…when will I be always right??

The older I get, the smarter my parents get.

You’re welcome, special!
