1. Learn to work the toilet seat: if it's up put it down.
2. Don't cut your hair. Ever.
3. Don't make us guess.

5. Sometimes, he's not thinking about you. Live with it.
6. He's never thinking about "The Relationship."
7. Get rid of your cat. And no, it's not different, it's just like every other cat.

10. Shopping is not everybody's idea of a good time.
11. Anything you wear is fine. Really.
12. You have enough clothes.
13. You have too many shoes.
14. Crying is blackmail. Use it if you must, but don't expect us to like it.
15. Your brother is an idiot.
16. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints don't work.

18. Share the bathroom
19. Share the closet.

33. Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out.
34. You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want it done-not both.

Good morning everyboomie.
Well good news! I wore a garlic necklace today, and the vampire didn't even want to take my blood.
I insisted though, cause I'm tough, and I didn't know that garlic smells bad.
It was another real nice day here. With the nights cooling down more, the mornings are especially nice.
Right now though, I'm watching Missy snap at mosquitoes on the porch.
There's nothing on TV tonight, except for Independence Day, which WAS one of my favorite movies, until about the 163rd time I watched it, then it stopped.
Guess I'll play The Egyptian Prophecy again.
Wishing everyboomie out there a very happy day.
