Things you recently found out the hard way.

If you go strolling through an entire forest of red flags to marry the woman you love, you will find yourself being beaten with every last one of those red flags on your way out of the relationship.

Pretty much any time you need to call your father for a ride, because you have had a couple of beer and shouldn’t be driving, and the ride is to the BAD part of town to pick up your girlfriend’s son who was taken to her sister the junkie’s house by her idiot cousin who was supposed to be babysitting and you wind up having to wait while said son gets his pants out of a tree, you’re probably going to have to listen to some advice.

If the thread stays up long enough, I’ll probably have a followup post for this one.

Stepping on a hoe left in the grass really does have the amusing effect as seen in cartoons.

See, it would seem like the steak knife would be safer than the chef knife, because the chef knife is very big and very sharp. However, the slightly duller steak knife will skip off the stem part at the top of the avocado and go straight for something softer, like your finger. The chef knife will go into the avacado and stay there until you take it out again. Use the chef knife. Not the steak knife.

           Ain't that the truth.

Turn the lights off when you park your car.

A pothole can cause more damage to your car than another car.

Banging your head against the wall is not a good idea if you do it literally.

Taking 17 credit hours all in required courses that are mostly upper-level, working 20 hours a week in publishing, holding a position in a fraternity, keeping up a semi-long-distance relationship, applying to grad school and trying to find a job for after graduation is manageable. . .if you only need four hours of sleep a night.

If you’re angry with someone, tell them; otherwise, it’s just going to get worse.

Sometimes, love is not enough. I loved my ex. He loved me. But there were way too many complications for it to work out.

(I didn’t find this out the HARD way, but it’s good advice) Always get the warranty on a new laptop. ALWAYS.

Sliding around laminate flooring on a pillow for an hour builds up static electricity.
