1. Men are simple creatures. 2. Women tend to over-think and complicate everything. 3. Stick up for yourself no matter what. 4. Everything can kill you and usually the cause is some kind of cancer. 5. Nothing is good for you anymore. Hence the 'everything can kill you'. 6. Overall, most people are rude and selfish. 7. When you find those few that are rarely rude or selfish, make them a friend for life. 8. If you love someone tell them often. Life is too short not to. 9. Appreciate all the little things. 10. Saying sorry doesn't hurt. 11. Saying thank you doesn't hurt either. 12. If you're feeling underappreciated by someone, compliment them on something they've done. They'll begin to do the same for you. 13. Sometimes you just have to be the 'bigger person' and let it go. 14. Money doesn't equal happiness Sometimes it may even make things more complicated. 15. Having a title doesn't make one person better or worse than another. 16. Personality and compassion will get you farther than looks alone. 17. A good nap can change how your day is going. 18. Someone, somewhere will hate you. 19. Ask questions and lots of them. 20. Don't believe everything you read or hear. 21. Someone told me once that friends are family we choose. I love that saying. 22. Most people underestimate the value of sleep Especially quality sleep. 23. Most people are too sensitive. Being 'PC' isn't everything. 24. You don't require religion to be a good person. A young child sees their mother as God until taught otherwise. 25. As a mother, I teach my kids to be kind to others. Their behavior and kindness is noticed by others and it amazes me every day. 26. I love a child's innocent honesty. I think they may have the right idea. 27. Most adults don't give kids credit they deserve. They're smarter than we think. 28. Kids deserve an apology too. If you've reacted incorrectly, tell them. If they know you make mistakes and own up to them, you've just set a great example. They might just realize that we all learn from mistakes after all. 29. If you never forget what you wish your parents did differently with you, you won't become them. 30. The dishes can wait until tomorrow. Play a game or read a book with your kids. They grow up to damned fast anyhow. 31. Embrace differences. If we were all the same, life would be boring. Let those differences teach you something that you never knew. 32. You will get frustrated with your significant other and they will have their quirks. You have to ask yourself if it's something you can live with or not. 33. If there's ever a doubt about being with someone, they're not 'the one'. 34. Love what you do every day. 35. Without communication, there is no relationship. Without communication, you're in a dictatorship or you're alone. Either way, one is silent. 36. Put yourself in the other's shoes. Try to get their perspective before opening your mouth. 37. Writing your thoughts can be very liberating. 38. I don't like labels. I like ideas. 39. People will forever surprise you. 40. I've been disappointed in humanity a few times. I wish we could all view ourselves from the outside when we are that disappointment.
33? 33? Hell, i have shoes that are older than 33! I would have said underwear, but I just cleaned out my chest of drawers and closet for a Salvation Army Run.
I do love these two.
17. A good nap can change how your day is going. 18. Someone, somewhere will hate you.
I love it and you also make it onto our NT columnist board!

I'm not sure on this one:

I think on some folks it will work and on others not so much.
Hey, they were washed first! And the Salvation Army captain told me to give them EVERYTHING as they take used clothing and if not able to be given to someone, they make it into rags!
And man do they sell those rags! You should see one of their warehouses!

Two things: First....ewwww, and Second.....ewwwww. Although, the mystery of the stinky homeless dude may just have been solved.
My husband has no need to put on a show for me. I don't give him a honey-do list. I do it myself. Ask some of the others here about MY project car and MY new bathroom. I'll post articles about those another day.
**DISCLAIMER** This is a generalization. This does NOT mean all are like this!
Just spercuz.
This is one of my first posts to NV... Now I will post it here.

Thanks.
And even though I am a "youngin", I don't tend to think like one.
Wish I did! Oh, wait, I do!
Immaturity is my goal!

Figures, gooey bs stuff!
Personally, I think the USA should give cancer to a shitload of folks living in the ME.

Great org, Salvation Army!
Very good article! So true.

Great article.
One thing though. Men arent simple creatures...we are very complex but have figured out that if we let on, we'll have a larger honey-do list.
My husband has no need to put on a show for me. I don't give him a honey-do list. I do it myself. Ask some of the others here about MY project car and MY new bathroom. I'll post articles about those another day.
Aw! Glad you like it! And as far as the complimenting, you're right. It does work on some but certainly not all.
Wait till you see that one guy. Beautiful job (with much help from two little kids).
Whoooaaa, wait a minute! This coming from a person that posted, to this day, one of the worst pics on this site?
