I got this from a forwarded email. And thought I can share this with you..
** A person needs only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use the tape.
** When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste.
** The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship: "I apologize" and "You are right."
** Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
** When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
** If he or she says that you are too good for him -- believe it.
** I've learned to pick my battles; I ask myself, "Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?"
** Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
** If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
** Living well really is the best revenge.
** Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just proves that the other person was right about you.
** Be really nice to your friends because you never know when you are going to need them to empty your bed pan and hold your hand.
** And finally... Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect; it just means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

LOL I really like this! Especially the bit about the DW-40 and duct tape - it's so true! It reminded me of when I moved out last year, and my Dad's gift to me was a measuring tape. At first, I was a bit like 'ok...thanks' but I never realised how much I would actually use it!
And as for the bit about emptying the bed pan... I will definitely start being nicer to my friends!
