[Brother Buzz]

12. As my Pappy used to say, "Be kind to your neighbors......

[First Speaker]

13. I still think Nelson Algren had it right...

1. Never play poker with a man called Doc.

2. Never eat at a place called Mom's.

3. Never sleep with anyone with worse troubles than your own.

14. I use the cosmic snowball approach

Bill "Spaceman" Lee was a major league pitcher in the 70s and early 80s. A reporter supposedly asked him one time how he dealt with the pressure of pitching in relief.

His answer: "I think about the cosmic snowball theory. A few million years from now the sun will burn out and lose its gravitational pull. The earth will turn into a giant snowball and be hurled through space. When that happens it won't matter if I get this guy out." And with the pressure in a cosmic perspective, he could focus on his next pitch.

Think about that the next time you start getting angry or frustrated over something trivial.

15. Eat as much chocolate as possible.

Preferably in ice cream form.

[LeftInTX]

16. National Lampoon's Deteriorata

[Wounded Bear]

17. It doesn't really matter...

in a hundred years we'll all be dead anyway.

[llmart]

18. It really is true that...

you're not going to take it with you when you die. (Applies to the "stuff" we think we have to have.)

Death is the great equalizer. Doesn't matter if you're a billionaire or poor as a church mouse.

Unless you've done something to get you in the history books, a couple of generations after you die, no one will remember who you were.

Aren't those some cheery notes for today??

[Stuart G]

19. ...No...not really "cheery notes." Somewhat depressing.

[llmart]

20. Maybe, but they're truthful.

And, if you keep those truths in mind, maybe you'll live a fuller life right now at this very moment and not put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today.

I have no desire to waste any time wandering around malls or such, looking for the next shiny object to buy. Don't need anything more than I already have.

That's the secret to a life well-lived.

[Niagara]

21. My secrets to life

If there's not a measuring tape near by, any American paper bill is roughly 6 inches in length.

Ketchup can be used to clean copper pots and pans. Ketchup will also clean and loosen coins that are stuck together from the coffee that got spilled on that coin collection in the vehicle.

If someone borrows a book, movie, tool, sweater or whatever items people lend out, take a photo on your cell phone of that person with your possession. It helps both parties remember who has what.

Toothpaste used with a wet cleaning rag will remove the red crayon bullseye that your 3 year old drew on the white living room wall. Toothpaste and water will help remove onion smells off hands.

Old toothbrushes work wonders cleaning the difficult areas in and around the bathroom and kitchen faucet.

Using used wet dryer sheets will buff out and clean kitchen stainless steel sinks.

If hairspray is turning your bathroom linoleum floor dirty use a non scratch sponge with some water and a dab of shampoo. A little shampoo goes a long way and will remove the hairspray grime and will make the linoleum floors shine.

Ice will remove gum from clothes, carpets and fabrics. Ice will also remove candle wax from carpet and fabrics.

Don't ever eat yellow snow, it's probably not a lemon slushie.

[Collimator]

22. Never date a man with prettier hair than you.

This is directed towards straight cis women, of course.
