Life Rules

[Dbaby]

31. If something is wrong, tell somebody. Because if you don't, all the little things that people do that you think you can live with, will add up faster and you'll explode. (It's not good for the paint on your walls, too.)

32. Befriend a younger person or someone you never thought you'd be friends with.

33. Germs are all over. Your never gonna get rid of them all, so stop trying.

34. Don't make your kids do all the chores you hate to do. That stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

35. The difference between being a best, BEST friend and a latch key is slight.

36. When ever you don't think you can do something, do it anyway. God never gives us anything we can't handle.

37. Learn as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow.

38. Find out what kinds of foods and drinks that your favorite celebrities like and try them. Ya never know....

39. Laugh as loud as you can.

40. Nothing is too childish for you.

41. smile at everyone you see and say hi.

42. BRUSH YOUR TEETH! Don't go to the Dentist ever 6 months and not brush your teeth in between. You never know who has to pick up that bloody gauze. (hint hint. Guess where I work!)

43. Love Damon!

44. Don't EVER put down something another person likes. That's just not cool.

45. Plant a tree and love it like you love your pets. You'd be amazied at how much better it grows.

46. Don't feel stupid talking to yourself. You'll lisiten and UNDERSTAND you.

47. Don't vacuume every day unless you REALLY like to. My mom makes me do this, and there is no point.

48. If you don't even life a block away from your parents, don't call them company and clean your house whenever you think their going to come over. Then they'll think your house is always like that, and that's not who you are. Their your PARENTS, they'll love you no matter what.

49. Don't judge people. EVER. (If you want the Lord to judge you harder then anybody in the world, then by all means go ahead and judge!)

50. Lisiten to what your kids have to say. If they say something annoys them that you do, IT DOES! They wouldn't just say that. If they feel you treat them like your three, lisiten to them! (dedicated to my best friend Penny, who is going into the 10th grade and can't even take the safty plugs out of her sockets.)

Oh, I forgot one:

13. THE DRAMATICS ARE NOT IMITATIONS OF THE TEMPTATIONS. AND IF YOU THINK THEY ARE, THEN YOU'RE FOOLING YOU!

[AKA THE FUF]

Hey Diva, I always thought the Dramatics had their own sound, nothing like The Temptations. I've seen them a few times as well, and enjoyed them. I'm glad these groups are still performing so we can still enjoy their music.

[sukkafu]

my friend went to the fair where the tempts will be next week on the 4th and she saw peter frampton and said he sounded like he did 25 yrs ago. i see that with age the artists are still putting on the hits.

sinatra is my favorite of all time and his best work to me was between ages 40-60.

[sukkafu]

it is most impressive to me to see the overall quality of the distinguished members of this board. i am grateful for people like ive, fuf, dbaby, diva, tdallasw, valleyval, puffbaby, ken_du, jonel of course, cadeho, stateoflimbo, kalisa2, and all the others. i am so happy to be associated with people that care about others, about themselves, and about God. i love everyone's lists. they
are so good to read and i have found that they show a little bit about the strength of each of your characters.
we are all in various stages of life and all i can say is keep on the journey for truth and right, don't give up, and remember our other common thread-THE TEMPTS!

[Ivory Fair]

Oh naw Sukka! Don't tell me you've asked someone at a Tempts show to SIT DOWN!!! I'm SO dissapointed in you! One day I want to go to a Tempts show that has a dance floor. That would solve the whole problem. ........... And "Whomp! Whomp!" with my "Leave Krispy Kreme donuts alone!" stick. They are NOT a fad!!!! Jonel and I have been eating them our whole lives, that ain't no fad!!!! They're just the newest thing for you West coast neophytes!!!!

LOL! @ Tdallas, "ebonic plague" and your one about making excuses reminds me of this girl at work. SHE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! "Whine! Whine! Whine!"

Fuf, your "be careful who you date" reminds me of my slightyly more explicit, "be careful who you lay down with" because you may have to deal with that person for the rest of your life if you end up having a kid with them.

Diva, I say don't wear boots unless it's 50 degrees or COLDER. In the early fall here, I see girls wearing their new boots because they're so cute. Well, yes, they are cute, but if it gets up to sixty degrees outside, as it does in this part of the world until about late November or December, I think you shoudn't wear them! It's still just TOO warm! .......... You gotta have an excuse to eat cake? Isn't WANTING cake a good enough excuse? (ha ha.) ......... I like your #8 about hips. Too often I think we women worry too much about how OTHER WOMEN think we should look (i.e. the fashion magazines) and don't pay any attention to what MEN think. There are very few men who actually WANT a woman to have no booty. Those that do also pay TOO much attention to the fashion magazines and are therefore idiots. What was that Sir Mix Alot said? Not to mention Freddy Mercury. And I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if you asked ANY of the 19 Temptations whether they wanted a woman with a full set of hips, or none at all, they'd go with the former!

DBaby, I like your #27 about hiking. Well, I like all of yours but I LOVE that one. It's very profound. (see Diva's number 12)

[tdallasw]

:-*sukkafu,
I loved your comments about the people on this board. The Temptations have always been a class act... and because of that, they draw classy people to their fold. You really hit the nail on the head - It's great to be a part of it all.

[sukkafu]

[sukkafu]

AS FOR YOU MISSEE IVE, I NEVER DID THAT AT A TEMPTS SHOW- AT OTHER CONCERTS!

KRISPY KREME DONUTS ARE MEDIOCRE, OVERPRICED, AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE EATING THEM ALL THEIR LIVES BETTER HAVE THEIR ANGIOPLAST DONE SOON TO BLOW THOSE CLOGGED ARTERIES BACK OPEN! MY WORD! MORE POWER TO YOU IF YOU EAT THAT FIBRELESS CARBO CRUD!

AND ALL KINDS OF VARIOUS POISONOUS CRAP THAT OOZE GREASE OUT OF THE PAPER IT'S WRAPPED.

[Ivory Fair]

[sukkafu]

tdal, it's all fat. fat is fat is fat, whether it's krispy kremes, fried green charlotte hornets, taco hell, or whatever. i guess everywhere everyday is fryday!

[DramaLJDiva]

I am enjoying reading everyone's lists. Ivory, women never do think what their man wants them to look like. They get sick looking at thin models in fashion magazines. It never bothered me when I saw these thin women in magazines. Sure, I wish I was taller, but never as thin and sick looking as some of those models. Another problem that women have is that they eat sweets, sweets, and more sweets, but they STILL complain about their weight. If they are so worried about their weight, they'd stop eating so much sweets, right?
More rules:

14. Don't pretend to know more than other people just to prove a point. Listen to what they have to say, you might learn something.
15. When someone tells you to keep a [glow=red,2,300]secret[/glow], KEEP IT![/COLOR]
16. Recognize the fact that a person can truly love their relatives. Don't confuse BEING IN LOVE with FAMILY LOVE.
17. Respect your friends' tastes in music.
18. Don't tell someone how to dress.
19. Don't tear up pictures of people when you are angry at them. Chances are, when you make up with the person or if something tragic happens, you'll wish you still had their pictures.
20. When someone tells you what they are having for dinner, don't make comments like "That's fattening" or "That's nasty".
21. Don't judge other people by their actions. Never, ever say "He/she isn't a good Christian because he/she..." or "I don't wanna associate with that person because he/she is a sinner."
22. Jealousy is a disease.
23. Never assume things about other people without knowing the truth.
24. If your mind is always in the gutter, take it out!

Hey FUF, you're exactly right. The Drams and Tempts have a completey different sound. In fact, none of their songs sound anything alike.
