    If you ever come across someone that can fold a fitted sheet, run.

    Be your own best friend.
    Don't give others power over your own happiness.
    Floss your teeth.
    Don't procrastinate things that will only take 10 minutes or less to accomplish.
    Be a good person.
    Pay it forward.
    Never underestimate the healing power of music and fresh air.

    Take tons of photos! Your family loves you no matter what, and those in the future generations will want to know you.

    Never say you're too busy to your kids. someday they may stop asking and as a father of a 17 yr old junior in HS, the time flies faster than you could ever imagine.

    Teachable moments aren't created, they are experienced in the everyday moments in life. There are a million firsts in your child's life, be a part of every single one if its within your power to do so.

    Work to live, don't live to work.

    Thank a veteran every chance you get.

    Its OK to be your kids friends. Some day you will want that friendship when you no longer call the shots. How better to build a foundation of friendship that to do it while they grow under your wings.

    Objects are just things, its ok to let them go, you'll always have your memories.

    On a more serious note...FFS plan on having extra cream puffs and make sure your garage is well lit and warm.

    When did you come back?!

    I'm not sure if I am yet, its so different. Kevin was never found, banana dude is mia.

    I'm ashamed to admit I forgot about Sam, but then again, he's no Kevin. They are probably all three together somewhere, enjoying a 2 liter and a banana hotdog, which I'm doubly confused as to where it falls on the sandwich/not sandwich scale.

    Because it’s a nice thread and I’ll get angry if someone does. WHY CANT WE HAVE NICE THINGS?!!

    Life lesson: we can't have nice things.

    Always save 10% from every paycheck for a rainy day, plus save for retirement. Learn to live on that amount of cash, don't live on every dime you make. needing every dime you make to live on is a baaaad idea. a very bad idea.

    Don't slam your computer or your phone against the floor when something doesn't load fast enough. Trust me you'll regret if you have to purchase new ones over a fit of rage. :laugh:
