“Fourteen Things That It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn” by Dave Barry<\/p>\n
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.<\/p>\n
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”<\/p>\n
3. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”<\/p>\n
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.<\/p>\n
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.<\/p>\n
6. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.<\/p>\n
7. Never lick a steak knife.<\/p>\n
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.<\/p>\n
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.<\/p>\n
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.<\/p>\n
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.<\/p>\n
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.<\/p>\n
13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)<\/p>\n
14. Your friends love you anyway.<\/p>\n
Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.<\/p>\n
Sunday, day of rest.
\nThought I was going to get to sleep in today. My daughter felt otherwise. So now enjoying the Wiggles and trying to catch a few more winks. TV the ever present babysitter. Will later go for some dim sum with the in-laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
