Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Went Out into the Real World
1. Any and all compliments can be handled by simply saying, "Why, thank you!" (though it helps if you say it with a Southern accent).
2. Some people are working backstage, some are playing in the orchestra, some are on stage singing, some are in the audience as critics, and some are there to applaud. Know who and where you are.
3. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.
4. When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste.
5. Never continue dating anyone who is rude to the waiter and doesn't like dogs and cats.
6. You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
7. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship: "I apologize" and "You are right."
8. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
9. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
10. If he or she says that you are too good for him or her -- believe it.
11. I've learned to pick my battles. I ask myself, Will this matter one year from now? How about one month from now? One week? One day?
12. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
13. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.
14. Knowing how to listen to music is as great a talent as knowing how to make it.
15. Work is good but it's not that important.
16. Never underestimate the kindness of your fellow man.
17. And finally... Be really nice to your friends. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.

What size tank do you have? If it's a big enough tank (10-20 gals per fish), you can add another. However, remember that adding another fish will put more waste into the water and you may need to do more frequent water changes. It won't upset the fish though--they don't know they've been around for 12 years without another fish. :) Goldfish get along with eachother well.

the attitude is the difference between a good day and a bad day. i learned this the hard way. i broke my ankle in a work related accident, and limped for weeks on crutches. one day, my manager asked how i was feeling, and i said great! i really was. it was only a few days before christmas, i had alot of shopping left to do, and worked two jobs, but hey, if i had never had it happen, i never would have learned to slow down during the holidays, and take time for myself, where as i had spent the holidays working, and never going to a party, or taking time for freinds.
these are very true, you get a star. i enjoyed reading them.
