As promised, I now bestow upon you the accumulated wisdom of 60 years and it is this:
Ladies, ONLY WEIGH WHEN YOU ARE THIN. This way you'll save yourself a lifetime of misery.
Ladies, ONLY WEIGH WHEN YOU ARE THIN. This way you'll save yourself a lifetime of misery.
And just in case you gentlemen feel left out, here's my advice to you:
DON'T SAY IT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT! That goes as much for calling a woman as for those jobs around the house and I'm sure you can all think of other occasions....
I concurr! Excellent rules.
ReplyDeleteWhat day is your birthday? Regardless, happy year of your 60th! I love your advice and observations.

ReplyDeleteI followed your advice until I was 50 but then went to hell in a handbasket. So not a lifetime of misery but a good few years could have been spared if I had figured this out for myself.
Have a wonderful day.
