  1. Never give yourself a haircut.- specially after 3 drinks.<\/li>\n
  2. You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If it doesn\u2019t move and should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn\u2019t, use the tape.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1.  The  five most essential words for a healthy relationship;\u201d I apologize\u201d and \u201cyou are right\u201d.<\/li>\n
    2. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.<\/li>\n
    3. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately.  It\u2019s easier to eat crow while it\u2019s still warm.<\/li>\n
    4. The only good advise you mother gave you was, \u201cgo! You  might meet somebody!\u201d<\/li>\n
    5. If he\/she says that you are too good for him\/her \u2013 believe them.<\/li>\n
    6. Learn to pick your battles; ask yourself; will this matter  in one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?<\/li>\n
    7. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.<\/li>\n
    8. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!<\/li>\n
    9. Living well is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.<\/li>\n
    10. Work is good for survival but its not that important retirement is better.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
