1. When shopping on a hot summers day
Edited on Thu Jul-26-07 08:46 AM by BarenakedLady
It's better to leave your kids and/or pets in the car while you do grocery shopping.

Take your time, enjoy the break.

It doesn't matter if you're going to be in the woods for two weeks. Then just don't shit. After about 5 days your digestive system will resemble a backed-up septic system, but that's okay, because at least you didn't shit in the woods.

73. Real advice I got a year or so ago.
My background: I'm looking for a new job. Self-appointed advisor's background: a person who sometimes works full-time, sometimes doesn't, but has spouse with a full-time job and health insurance.

The advice was that I should quit my job, live on my savings, and self-insure. :eyes:

Did I mention I live in an area where the cost of living is obscenely high?

I didn't take the advice.
