Here are some thoughts for 2011. In true Ramblings style, they are not in any particular order:
Love the song, hate the song – if I had a daughter, I’d hope she danced.
Treat other motorists with respect – they may be the person on the other side of the desk at your next job interview. (Yes, there is a story behind this!)
Why can’t Blondie and Dagwood stand erect? Those bent knees really annoy me.
If you have three true friends in your lifetime, you are fortunate.
Murphy’s word IS law.
Your math teacher was wrong: You do NOT need algebra.
Find somebody to love.
Unless it’s hurting someone, mind your own business.
Don’t give in to road rage.
There is nothing quite as annoying as a person who’s reformed in some way. And insists on telling you about it.
Don’t be holier than thou. (See above.)
Be a listener more than a talker.
Naps aren’t just for little kids.
Live like you’re dying, because you are.
Take responsibility.
Pizza: the greatest invention of our time.
The saddest words: If only. . . .
Remember how Mom told you to put on clean underwear in case you have an accident? Can you think of anything more embarrassing than the nurse saying, “Poo-ey!”
Read whenever you can.
Sing, even if you can’t hold a tune.
Only a guy can’t understand the importance of putting the toilet seat down.
Be polite to telemarketers. They’re annoying, but they’re just doing their job. If, on the other hand, they’re rude to you, feel free to rip them a new one.
Don’t write in the dust on my furniture. It proves I have better things to do with my time.
Men, never, ever give your wife or girlfriend an appliance as a birthday, anniversary, Christmas gift, even if she asks for it. An appliance is for the house, not her. Give her something romantic, and surprise her with the appliance later.
Any person whose first name begins with L and last with W, who lives in Eden, UT, is due to win the $64 million lottery in 2011. If more than one person meets those qualifications, hell, I’m not greedy, I’ll share.
