My OperaINSTRUCTIONS FOR LIFE
Saturday, August 14, 2010 6:30:39 PM
Wouldn't we all be happier if we followed these simple instructions for life?
1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
2. Memorize your favorite poem.
3. Don't believe all you hear.
4. Don't spend all you have.
5. Don't sleep all you want.
6. When you say, "I love you", mean it.
7. When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.
8. Be engaged at least 6 months before you get married.
9. Believe in love at first sight.
10. Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
11. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
12. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
13. Don't judge people by their relatives.
14. Talk slowly, but think quickly.
15. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "why do you want to know?"
16. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
17. Call your parents.
18. Say, "God bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
19. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
20. Remember the 3 r's: respect for self; respect for others; responsibility for all your actions.
21. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
22. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
23. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
24. Marry a person you love to talk to. As you grow older, his or her conversational skills will be as important as any other.
25. Spend some time alone.
26. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
27. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
28. Read more books and watch less tv.
29. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back,
you'll get to enjoy it a second time.
30. Trust in God but lock your car.
31. A loving atmosphere in your home is so important. Do all you can to create a tranquil, harmonious home.
32. In disagreements with loved ones, deal with a current situation. Don't bring up the past.
33. Read between the lines.
34. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.
35. Be gentle with the earth.
36. PRAY. There's immeasurable power in it.
37. Never interrupt when you are being flattered. Say, "thank you".
38. Mind your own business.
39. Don't trust a person who doesn't close his or her eyes when you kiss them.
40. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.
41. If you make a lot of money, put it to use helping others while you are living. That is wealth's greatest satisfaction.
42. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a stroke of luck.
43. Learn the rules, then break some.
44. Remember that the best relationship is one where your love for each other is greater than your need for each other.
45. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
46. Remember that your character is your destiny.
47. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

Right now I'm just curious as,... curious.
I guess this is a long enough comment, now, back to that list...

Can I get a clarification on the logic here?
Not that I remotely sleep all I want.
Wooooooo! #12 sure wasn't meant for Message Boards.
Thank goodness for #13.
On #15, what if they give you a good reply to your attempt at being evasive question?

When it's somebodies album all I kept getting was notices to comments for the same photo. I just drew a parallel. http://files.myopera.com/Frlmnk/operamini/imgarchive/confusedshrug.gif - http://files.myopera.com/Frlmnk/operamini/imgarchive/shrug.gif -
I'm beside mysef with embarrassment, Miss SummerAngel, I'll be forever indebted ta ya fur the correction.
Back to self improvement... Don't you worry I'll get to commenting on your recommendations yet. I don't think I've ever tried none of 'em out. Then I'll let cha know, fur sure!
Suntana # Saturday, August 14, 2010 9:07:01 PM
If you are suggesting that I should have respect for that Step Nephew ... Ummm, Nope! Sorry. No can do. He deserves NO respect. That's what he earned. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Yes.gif - If you knew this guy, you'd have an impossible time NOT agreeing with me. Giving him an ounce, a DROP of respect would be too much. He has lied to and stolen from his own parents repeatedly ... and even tried to blame one of the stolen items on one of his own twin kids when his Dad confronted him!!!

But, really, I'm NOT breaking #20.
I'm actually just pointing out a flaw with #20.
I'm bringing to the surface the need for #20 to be revised. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Yes.gif -
It can't be left quite so simply as black & white as it currently stands.

Do you folks see the black background on your smilies?

Quick, Annette! We need to do an intervention on Aadil.
That reminded me of the skit by the 70s comedy duo, Cheech & Chong.
Cheech: Hey, man, whatchu doing?
Chong: Oh, just watching TV.
Cheech: Hey, what's wrong with the TV?
Chong: I don't know, man. It's been like that all day.
Cheech: Here, let me take a look.
::: CLICK ::: (The TV comes on.)
Cheech: There! I fixed it.
Chong: Wow, man! Whatchu do?
Cheech: Oh, I turned it on.

I can post this but I can't see the animation on Opera Mini.
And besides the BlackBerry is lousey for most videos the connection is so slow out where I'm at it's not really worth it on the netbook either.

I do a lot of multitasking though. Usually, while I'm watching the shows I've DVR'd, I'm on the computer and most of the time, I'm returning phone calls as well.

That's not really a viable option for me with the cost of data around here.
I do rent videos and rate them to my hard drive to watch later though.
I spend between R500 to R1000 a month on data as it is! (US$68.50 to US$137.00)
Because I work shifts, it's not really practical to try and follow a series anyway. I spend my time online or doing something science related instead.
Tom RondelloFrlmnk # Monday, August 16, 2010 3:46:27 PM
And, I am very happy I have unlimited data for $110.00/mo.
Otherwise I'd probably have to file down the callouses on my finger tips!http://s10.rimg.info/138f29a6877d02da83b58de153650068.gif -

WOW, that's a lot to pay for Internet use.
Cost is exactly why I do not subscribe to the Internet via my cell phone. I would have to pay for each gigabyte over 5 gig's a month. My bill would be MUCH higher than yours unless I cut back considerably.
I have a bundled plan with the local telephone company where I get unlimited DSL Internet use, 250 Dish Network tv channels, and unlimited local and nationwide long distance calling for a little more than you pay for R1000 a month of data.
I took a peek at your About page. I love what you said about teaching the people you babysit manners and how much they like you. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/BigGrin.gif -
