Rules for Getting Through Life

.animaniactoo

My mom has a number of rules for getting yourself through life in one piece. We've added a few along the way, I thought you guys would enjoy them and I'm waiting to see the ones you come up with.

Mom's rule #47 - Take your seatbelt off BEFORE you attempt to get out of the car

My rule #134 - It's easier to get into your parent's house if you use the key for their door instead of the one for yours.

Sister's rule #89 - It's easier to boil water if you turn the burner on.

Mom's new rule #124 - It's not possible for her to use her cell phone to make a call if I'm still holding it.

Alright… your turn!

(P.S. - rule numbers are completely arbitrary…)

Never enter into a forum thread on Caedes-Dot-Net .. because when it goes off-topic (as it invariably does) it will ruin your reputation as a fine upstanding citizen that fights the good fight for forum reform

and and and ... you'll forever be thought of as easily dragged (drugged?) down to their level and it will tarnish your good name

Some cooking rules I learned when I was younger:

If the spaghetti doesn't bend, or makes crunching sounds when you eat it, it probably isn't ready to serve yet.

Sugar is an important ingredient of chocolate cake.

Don't be surprised that your children think you 'know nothing'. They 'know everything' so it must be true.

Don't mistake the oven for the microwave and attempt to remove a hot dish with no oven mitt.

Clocky

1. Trust no one untill they earn your trust.

2. Women are always right untill they are discussed in the pub when they are not there.

3. Learn to trust your instincts.

4. Religion is just a sanctuary for deep thought and support.

5. Never get credit cards.

6. Being open to opinion and not being opinionated all the time.

7. Always wear PROTECTION.

Think that sums up things for now.

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)

1. In a fight, if it doesn't show up on an x-ray, it's fair game.

2. Never ever ask a judge how you become a judge. They apparently take quite the offense.

3. Paying completely in Canadian pennies anywhere is likely to get you banned.

4. If it's not green and breathing it is still edible.

5. Never offend food servers, cooks, barbers, taxi drivers, Caedes or your web host.

6. Purge the refrigerator of take out boxes at least once a week.

7. Asking a police officer for his badge number is tantamount to punching him in the face.

8. Remember to meticulously back up all your computer data.

9. And last bit not least, remember to tinfoil at least 60 percent of your domicile to keep out alien transmissions. :-)
