Ok, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Temptations, but this is what this part of the board is for, right? 
Anyway, my mind is going crazy trying to think of a list of what I'd consider to be my personal rules of life. They're also the rules of life that I wish EVERYONE would live by, but that's not gonna happen, so I'll just have to get over it.
1. Wear clothes in season. That means no white in the winter time, no straw hats in the winter time, no boots unless it's 50 degrees or less I don't care how cute they are! No shorts below 60 degrees (WHITE PEOPLE!!!!!) and ladies, no hats after 6pm and NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES let your significant other hold your purse!!! All of those are courtesy of my mother.
2. Do not drive the wrong way down parking lanes in parking lots. Do not drive across the lanes at 90 miles an hour, you could kill someone.
3. Do not hate on people. It's not cute and it only makes you look jealous.
4. Do not sit with your fat butt in the bleachers at a sporting event telling the coach what a bad job he's doing, or the players how they can't play the game. If you could do any better, you'd be out there with them. (Applies to men only.)
5. If you're dating someone and they do you wrong just one time, do your heart a favor kick them to the curb ASAP! Then they'll know they were wrong and they'll spend the rest of their lives regretting it and WANTING you! LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS!!! They're the ones who REALLY love you and the only ones thinking clearly!!!!
6. Don't answer your cell phone if your at a store and the associate is helping you, that's rude. How would you feel if they suddenly stopped helping you to go take a personal phone call?
7. Put the buggy back in the corrale when you're done loading your groceries into the car. Don't just leave it in the lane next to you. If there's a loose buggy near you when you park your car to go in, take it into the store with you. The people who get paid to do that don't get paid very much, and they have to do it for you, rain or shine.
8. Don't tell the blonde girl in front of you at the Temptations concert to sit down because you can't see. Get your lazy butt up and DANCE!!!! THESE ARE THE EMPERORS OF SOUL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!
9. NEVER ask a woman if she's pregnant no matter how much she looks it. NEVER ask someone if they have a cold when they sniffle. They've probably already had 10 people ask them that and they're tired of answering the question.
10. If your baby buggy wheel squeaks when you push it, PUT SOME WD-40 on it!!!! (for some reason, women go deaf when they push those things.)
11. DO NOT SEND EMAIL FORWARDS!!!
12. Adopt a cat or dog (preferably two) from the pound instead of wasting money on exotic animals or breeds. Thousands of cats and dogs die every day because there's simply no room to house them.
And then after you adopt them, GET THEM FIXED!!!
13. Do not hate on (Otis, Dennis, Ali, Richard, Damon, whomever) for continuing to perform. As long as they are playing fair, they're just trying to make money like you are and besides they sound pretty darn good. (Fortunately doesn't apply to anyone hear.)
14. Do not give anyone Krispy Kreme donuts that are more than 8 hours old! That's just rude!
15. When you hand scissors to people, hand them handle first. That's the Girl Scout way!
16. "If you sprinkle when you tinkle be a sweetie, whipe the seatie!" ;D
17. Send thank you notes no matter how small or inexpensive the gift. It really IS the thought that counts.
18. Bring a gift when someone invites you as a guest overnight in their home.
19. Use your good china at least once a week, you could die tomorrow.
20. The toilet paper goes on the roll so that it comes up over the top, not from below. To do otherwise wastes paper, it has been clinically proven.
Ok, that's the first 20 anyway. I want to hear everyone elses, share, share!
