STUFF I'VE LEARNED part 5

Here is the fifth installment of the list of valuable information that I started in November 2008.

* If you decide to spray mosquito repellent on your face, be sure to close your eyes tight AND take off your glasses * Don’t run in a graveyard * You always burn your mouth when your drink hot chocolate through a straw * The soap in public bathrooms smells awful so you will scrub your hands clean to get rid of the stink * The purpose of the little toe is to find furniture in the dark * A rainy night far from home is a bad time to discover you car needs new wiper blades * An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure * Always look in the oven before you turn it on—especially if you have children living with you * When people are free to do as they please they usually imitate each other * Only pour for a child the amount of beverage you are willing to clean up * Never tell someone their diet is not working * Take contractors’ promises with a grain of salt, and don’t argue with them when they are holding a nail gun * Put your worst task at the top of your list. That way you will get a lot of other things done while you are avoiding the unpleasant job.
