Some Helpful Hints and suggestions

Here are some general life rules and observations everyone needs to know...Unfortunately, I had to learn these the hard way:

1. When buying broccoli, this is the desired order...fresh, frozen florets, deep fried. Never buy a bag of frozen broccoli that just says "broccoli"...You wind up getting all of the junk that the floret buying consumers don't have to deal with.


2. No matter how much you work on it, no matter how many hours you spend on it, the castle you are building on "Castleville" will never, ever be up to date on the various building code regulations in your state. That's because it isn't real.


3. Along the same lines, gold coins and poker chips on Facebook are less real than Michael Jackson's nose (too soon?)


4. I think that Lana Del Rey would have gotten more positive press had she auditioned for American Idol. At least they would have asked her to come back at the end of the season. Incidentally, I think Ashlee Simpson can finally breath a sigh of relief.


5. You can always trust a person who talks to themselves. Conversely, never trust a person who is talking to an invisible man named Steve. You just can't trust Steve.


6. Valentine's day is more important to your wife than your anniversary. Also, no matter what you read on Wikipedia, it is not a made up holiday.


7. Country music makes you old.


8. Miller Lite is lying to you. Their beer may be less filling, but nobody drinks beer because it tastes great.


9. There are some really crazy people in Florida...just an observation...Same goes for the northwest.


10. I have a cat named Tiger. Not because he is fierce like a tiger. Not because he strong or agile like a tiger. In fact, I do not know why he is named Tiger. we should probably change his name to something that is more accurate, like hippo, blue whale, or Homer Simpson.
