First off, I've officially started writing for AdFreak, in case any of you were waiting for a signal flare to start reading it or add it to your RSS reader. I'll probably be posting 3-5 times a week.
But there's not much meat on that bone, so we'll move on to a livelier topic:
What is the most practical advice you've ever been given? Stuff that's just all-around good to remember?
Let's see, I've got...
• On driving: "Always accelerate when changing lanes." - My sister.
• On driving (and life): "When you're steering between obstacles, don't look at the obstacles or you'll hit them. Look between them." -My mom.
• On drinking: "Never mix dairy and booze." - Myself, after an unfortunate "White Russian Night."
• On life choices: "Don't ever get divorced twice and then decide to go to grad school on student loans." -My mentor.
What have you guys got?

Driving (and life)-- Always slow down before entering a curve (Driver's Ed teacher)
On being a mom: Spit happens (pediatrician)
On drinking -- Liquor before beer, have no fear. Beer before liquor, never sicker. (Floyd, bartender at O'Sullivans).
On life: Life isn't always all about cookies (overheard from a four-year-old talking to her two year-old brother who just learned to say the word "cookie")
Glad I could pass SOMETHING on to the younger generation...
Cleaning:
Don't use an ammonia spray to clean urine, it only makes the smell stronger, neutralize the odor with vinegar.
Parenting:
Non-toxic means it won't kill them if they eat it, but it doesn't mean that they won't throw-up.
On Life:
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
and
You can't get something for nothing.
Oh, I almost forgot:
You can't always get what you want!
-Rolling Stones
(We sing that one to the kids all the time!)
