Tip of the day #30
Don't Assume-
Don't assume, it makes an .... you know the saying... When someone assumes something instead of just asking a simple question that could avoid say an additional trip to the store, or avoid an accident or mishap at work, or avoid an argument or a feud or avoid anything negative really, We think to ourselves, 'why would they assume instead of just asking a simple question?".
Definition of Assume:
"take to be the case or to be true; to accept without verification or proof"
Now you know why the saying goes "to assume make an a$$ out of U & ME- get it- assume- ass-u-me- assume.
Be the big person, ask the question, don't assume. It's embarrassing when you realize you are wrong.

Parents (add on)
The previous post was not as a result of anyone complaining to me about anything. Not family, not friends- If it got to you and caused you to lash out or feel guilty or make a phone call consider why it did. DONT BLAME OHTERS FOR YOUR INACTIONS AND IRRESPONSIBILITY- I've never heard the main caregiver of my relatives EVER complain about her responsibilities with her mom. You can apologize at any point if you acccused her. This post was general- no pointed at any one in particular.
Parents
Parents-
Parents can be alot of things to alot of people for alot of years, but one thing they should never be is expendable.
Whether you have parents or not, whether you want parents or not or whether you need parents or not, most of us have them at one point in our lives. Some for 60 years, some for 60 months and some for 60 minutes. Whether you have them now or lost them young is nothing that you can control. If you don't have them it gives you no special 'feel sorry for me' privileges and if you do have them it gives you no 'feel sorry for me' privileges.
Parents, no matter who they are, should be treated with respect no matter how old or young they are. They raised you and took care of you and you are where you are today because they chose to have you. You may not like how they raised you or who they are today but that was their choice.

Tip of the day #28
Be a responsible parent-
This was originally going to be Sunday's tip of the day- But since Anita and I were under the weather we took care of each other and I didn't feel like thinking let alone typing or anything else for that matter. But PTL I'm almost back to normal and here goes.
Some parents forget that they are parents and have little ones to raise. You'd think that after, say, 15 years they would realize 'hey I better stop acting in my usual irresponsible ways and set a good example'.

Tip of the day #27
Laugh-
Laughing does everyone good- When things arise that are out of your control, Laugh. When things are funny, Laugh. Laugh with your kids, laugh with your friends, laugh with everyone, laugh at yourself.
You ever around someone who seems to not really laugh that much and it seems to be like a hanging around a dimly lit candle, just flickering at humorous things? Well don't be that person!! You be the spot light! The beacon of laughter that makes you glow.
Laughing: It's awesome

Tip of the day #26
Do good deeds-
I've heard many people, including myself, talk about something they want to do for someone, Or some organization they want to volunteer for etc. But they just talk. You heard the same talk every holiday season when giving is more prevalent or when people are in need. People like to ask their friends to join them in giving or volunteering and when they don't get a group, they back out. When it is on your heart to do a good deed, not even giving, but just helping or something small, do it when you have that desire to be a blessing. Don't think twice because good deeds are not a waste- You can't walk around all puffed up because you 'plan' on doing something good as we see something. Do it and do it in secret and see how rewarding that is.
The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.

Make Memories-
When your children and grandchildren grow up- when your younger brothers and sisters are older what will they remember? Are you making memories with them little pups?
We are here and now- they are only little once and they grow fast-
So whether they are 2 months, 2 years or 12 years old, make memories.

Tip of the day #24
Check your friends- evaluate why you are friends with them- what you have in common- Do they lift you up or bring you down- take appropriate actions.
Someone who constantly drags you down and holds you back will eventually tire you out-

More 'rock solid' advice for oblivious guys
You ever see those guys who are really on the go all the time when they are single, and you think to yourself "He'll settle down when he gets married" and then he gets married and you say "He'll settle down when he has kids" and then he has kids and you start to wonder if he'll ever settle down, tone down his 'me time' and take the responsibility of his family that his wife has been carrying for years?
