    Muscle weighs more than fat

    It's a really easy fix, just mentally substitute, because your brain brains and can understand context. Also works for lose and loose, your and you're.


    Good contribution to this stupid advice thread. :p

    If it's meant to be, it will be.

    Not quite advice, but still given as advice. Why people find this comforting is beyond me.

    "(higher power of speaker's choice) never sends you more than you can handle."

    ^^^ also not advice. more of a platitude

    Yeah, you're right. I guess the higher power of someone else's choice has just been sending me more platitudes that I can handle.

    Parenting: Just make your kid (eat, sleep, learn, socialize).
    Gee, never thought of just telling my kid to go to sleep. It was so fun trying all of those other things I guess I forgot.
    Oh, yeah... I took her to the party and she refused to speak to anyone. Huh, I guess I should punish her until she learns to have fun and talk.

    There are no stupid questions. Sometimes there are.
    Hard work pays off. It often does not.
    Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

    That “be yourself” crap. Bad advice.

    I suppose someone telling another person to 'be someone else' is the right advice.

    I always say that to my kids.

    But then again, I always say "Make Good Choices!" & "Stranger Danger !!" to them as well.



    okay, that's not exactly accurate, I don't say those things..... I actually shout those lines.

    very, very loudly and always in front of their friends.

    Drink lots of water.

    This has nothing to do with weight loss, clear skin, or anything else although staying hydrated is good.

    Did that at work once, ended up having to take a "sensitivity seminar". This also applies to "just be honest".

    "Just be honest"

    .... I've gotten in trouble quite a bit following that advice.

    But if you aren't yourself, who else would you be?
  • That “be yourself” crap. Bad advice.

    I don't know about that. You can be the better version of yourself. The key is to not try to second guess everything you say trying to get someone to like you.

    Be yourself applies - but not the grosser parts. Don't try to do cosmetic surgery on your personality, but don't show her the warts either.

    You would be surprised at the men giving other men this kind of advice.

    Boy Howdy, you don't need to remind me.

    Is it okay if I plead: 'No Contest' ??
