ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

conversational skills will be as important as any other.

want.


FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.


FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.


SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.


SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.


EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams

way to live life completely.


TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.


ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.


TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.


THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer,
smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"


FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great
risk.


FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.


SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson


SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others;
and responsibility for all your actions.


EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.


NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps
to correct it.


TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your
voice.


TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

Every single one of these are so true...

I'm a gesundheit man, myself. Of course, some people look at me like I have a cat growing out of my neck when I say it. I can't believe some people have never heard the word "gesundheit".

This thread will probably fizzle into oblivion, but I'd just like to say that Ocean is a very nice person and deserving of a better thread.

Anxiety said:

I have my "gesundheit" moments as well...variety is the spice of life, as they say. Plus, it doesn't evoke any religious symbolism nor does it take the chance at offending any athiests who happen to have hay fever.

this reeks of one of those e-mail forwards from a midwestern hausfrau, but i will be brave enough to say that i enjoyed it, and may even take some of those little pointers to heart.

i think we need to break it down a little bit for 777, though - we need to give him more elementary pointers like "remove any latex insertables before going outside to check the mail."

you know. the basics.

Maybe Ocean should be concentrating on #10.

althom said:

maybe you're full of #2!

Anxiety said:

You know what you can do with #12.

Aren't #9 and #14 kind of the same thing...

althom said:

Now now, boys...maybe you both should re-read #18...

althom said:

you should tattoo #16 to your eyelids!

Anxiety said:

how about I do a #1 on you!

ImagoMind777 said:
