Here I go again…just in case there’s one of you that hasn’t seen me post it yet.
Do NOT go into business with friends. Worst and most often case scenario is that it ends in blood. Best case scenario is that you are successful beyond your wildest dreams, but it won’t be as fulfilling as if you had done it yourself.
Always check for TP before you sit down
Also, always make sure the seat is down first.
If you have debts that have gone to collection, you can negotiate them down by at least half. This is a good thing.
However, the amount that you reduced them is considered ‘income’ by Uncle Sam. This is a bad thing.
Follow your bliss. Never, ever put your dreams on the back burner, because they’re not “practical.” You may have to go through hell and high water, but your dreams will become your reality.
That was my old company’s motto. Customers will ***never ***understand why they can’t have all three.
How to save time: Just find a woman you dislike and buy her a house.
When it comes to women:
Attractive.
Smart.
Sane.
Pick two.
A correction there-
Add “Attracted to you” and “Pick three”.
When it comes to kitchen items, don’t go for chrome-plated. Save up for stainless steel.
Pay for it in cash, up front. Don’t use credit.
If you think of it now, do it now. Don’t put it off until when you remember again.
People who lie in front of you will lie to you.
If your date is not a match for you, let them know. Otherwise you’re just wasting their time and yours.
If you’re not brave, calm, or strong, you can fake it. No one else can tell the difference.
Pay the bills FIRST.
…and the lid is UP.
If someone has found the secret to getting rich, why is he willing to let you in on it… for a price?
Don’t climb on a rocking chair (learned this one the hard way at the age of 2, still have the scar on my chin to prove it).
If you’re walking around in an area with a lot of restaurants, most of which are quite busy, and you see one that isn’t very busy, there’s probably a reason for that.
If you try to make cheese soup, and it doesn’t turn out, don’t pour it down the sink.
It probably isn’t, though, unless you need it for something you enjoy or are better at. You’ll get a better return on the time you invest in polishing up your skills in your strong areas rather than trying to fix your weaknesses. And you’ll almost certainly be happier while you’re doing it.
This made me chuckle out loud.
Other things in this thread are serious and make you say “oh yes, that matters”, but this i can relate to… yet i never follow.
If everyone who knows him tells you he’s bad news and that you should stay away from him, but he tells you all kinds of sweet stuff–believe the other people. It’s not a conspiracy against your love, it’s good advice. If everyone who meets him doesn’t like him, there’s probably a reason.
If the dog comes out from under the covers and stands on you at 4 a.m., even though she’s not audibly whining, she probably wants to go out and pee. Do not pretend you don’t feel the dog standing on you. Take the dog out for a pee.
Left Wing / Hippie ideals are BS… I wasted 20 years believing otherwise…
This also applies to cookie sheets.
Corollary: Pay attention to where your oven vents, and don’t set bakeware in that location to cool.
Don’t rent the moving trucks and turn off all the utilities until Escrow is closed.
Avoid cheap dental work. It will cost you in the long run, both in terms of money and teeth.
It doesn’t hurt when you fall, but it sure hurts when you land.
