How to merge into traffic; and maintain proper distance.
Oh, I see. I read it wrong. I thought that it said to wash your hands before handling jalapenos.
No jalapenos here, but I’ve been handling my private bits for a good while now, and I’ve come to report complete success. Thanks!

People should know how to properly budget their money and put away savings. For that matter, they should know how to tell the difference between what they want and what they need.
Hey, it works for the Rebellion. Throw in some black and you’re solid.
Of course you know, this means war.
Echoing the ‘changing a tire’ above. Motor clubs and all that are fine, but in the middle of nowhere, you should be able to do it yourself. My daughter and several friends were on their first after high school trip and went to Chicago by themselves. On the way home, they had a flat. My daughter changed it with the spare, since none of them had AAA or anything. The other girls were amazed. “How did you know how to do that?!?!” She answered by asking “How do you not?”
That’s my girl.
I disagree.
I looked after my Uncle Max (He was in his nineties and had Parkinson’s) for years. He was a great short order cook. He was full of interesting stories of how the world used to be.* I always advise people to get to know their elderly relatives. He love women, Jack and coke, and neapolitan ice cream.
I currently work part time as a home health aide to another man with Parkinsons. He’s a former English professor and fascinating to talk to.
- Seriously, I was always after him to record his stories on a dictaphone I gave him. Sadly, he never did. I once asked him what was the first film he saw in a theater. He replied that he did not recall. But, he did remember that the ticket was a nickel.
Everything used to cost a nickel. A ticket, a car, a house, all were 5 cents. It was the only unit of currency. Just ask an old person how much anything used to cost if you doubt me.
Government gets all the money it gives out from US, our taxes. It’s OUR money: “We, the people…”.

Everyone should know about the law of averages fallacy. Lately I’ve run into this way too many times.

Atlatls are back in fashion.
Facebook is a fad. It may be a huge and overpowering fad, but it will fade away as everything else does.
Telling someone you don’t have a FB page is like telling them you don’t have a SSN.
Facebook is a website, not a mandatory part of human culture.
A very old dude once told me about how, when he was 18, he could fill his gas tank and buy a ten pound bunch of bananas for some tiny sum. So, he would drive around all day eating bananas. Uh. Huh.
Make sure the dog weighs more than a child, otherwise give a “childrens” benadryl. Saved me (my bills) and my dogs twice.
I think everybody should know how to swim. I’m surprised how many adults do not.
Even if you can change a tire, you need to also make sure that the spare is full of air. After a few years, it may not be.
Learned that one the hard way. :smack:
