Stay away from women who have license plate frames with any reference to being a *****.

Also watch out for women frames with reference to any of the following:

Princess
Daddy's girl
_____ paid for it, but I got it
My Ride, _____'s payments
Spoiled

Consider those a warning

Go to a dentist at the first sign of any problem, or you will end up needing root canal work (I've just learned that one the hard way).

+1 on that, what I thought was no big deal turned out to be an $800 mistake after waiting too long when it could have been a $40 fix.
 
something tells me I need to have my wisdom teeth pulled...I've been waiting that out for years...its only recently beginning to hurt :ooo:

Don't leave the shop without parts that you don't even know you'll need!

Only good that came of that is a 21.xxx fill up in my Ram. Slightly over 725 miles on a tank.

Also check the SIMPLEST thing first when they say it has low pressure. Ultimately a tip made the biggest difference!
 
1. Furniture moves itself around at night.

2. Band-aids hurt like #%$$&!!!! when they rip hair off your favorite little toe.

I regularly speed, and I point out attractive women to my wife. I leave my dirty laundry on the bathroom floor and laugh at my wife when she screams for me to come kill a spider. I peed in the shower ONCE when the rest of the bathroom was occupied.

But admit I was
walking around the house at night without a flashlight? That's the one that shames me.

:buddies:
 
The definition of shopping:

When you are shopping, you buy what they want to sell. This captures the TV home shopping racket pretty well.

A wise person makes a list before going to the store, and buys only what's on the list. If you really need a new gizmo/product/snack food it goes on the NEXT list.

(I am NOT a wise person)

when your doing a load of laundry, during the draining process your washing the dishes, if the water suddenly appear to go down slower than usual STOP WASHING AND PAUSE THE CYCLE. Don't expect the water pressure from the drain tube to flush it out...it will cause every toylet in the house to overflow.....and even after a good week of cleaning...the smell of the bathroom carpet is still unbearable:shakehead
 
When you jumpstart somebodys car make sure you know how. Years ago tried to help a lady out and hooked the negative cable on the post instead of the body. Batteries really do explode, guess how I know that? Oh and while i'm on batteries always use the holdown for it. Drove my car to Sears (6 blocks away) to buy a new battery. Didn't have a holdown so drove it home. Saw something dripping on the driveway and opened the hood and VIOLA! The battery slid over and the alternator ground a hole in the side of the case. Was about 20 at the time. DUH!!

I've never clipped the negative on to the body and always on the terminals....never had the experience of one popping:ooo:

I've had the privilege to jump everything from a lawnmower to diesel cereal trucks to sea bass....so far so good
[the sea bass was cooked to well done and a bit charred but that was an accident]
 
Sucker exploded like a hand grenade, somehow acid didn't get all over me. All that was left of the battery was the case and the plates, top was missing. I never hook it up that way anymore.

Good ole hydrogen gas going :poof: !

Lesson learned the hard way: Sugar and salt look identical under casual inspection.

Years ago . . . .


Boss sent one of our workers to connect the rubber hose of our jackhammer to a compressed-air line.



However . . . .


Worker somehow failed to realize that oxygen is not the same as compressed air. :shakehead ___ :banghead:



Interesting results.

But no one was hurt.


:sigh:

Make sure you clear your pants of ink pens before washing and drying. I've actually had one make it thru ok but the other melted in the dryer, leaking and staining my clothes with the heat permanently locking in the stains and hence three pairs of pants and a couple of shirts were ruined. I also spent a bit of time with cleaning fluid and a scrub brush removing what got stuck inside the dryer wall.
