I learned not to go outside wearing red fuzzy tweety pajama pants, a tank top, a pink sweater, glovess, a hat, red flowered socks, and brown crocheted house shoes. Although warm, you end up looking slightly retarded.

Read the requirements for ID on the SS-5 online before heading out to get your daughter a social security replacement card so she can get her ID/learner's permit.

Does it really make sense that school transcripts qualify as ID but a birth certificate doesn't?

My lesson also relates to both of the above:

When I was young and had a summer job at a famous high-end women's clothing warehouse, my buddies and I used to put our names and phone numbers and "please call anytime" on those little "inspected by" slips...each of us had our favorite size fantasy. We never got a call back

When you feel overwhelmed by a task, don't put it off because you can't decide where to start. Pick a random place to start and the rest will eventually fall into place, showing you that it wasn't half as bad as you were making it out to be.

Don't try to climb a wall wearing a giant inflatable sumo suit and then expect it to stay in one peice.

Also, make sure its your own wall, and not the one at the back of the next door neighbours house.

If using "ready mixed" allways check it really is ready mixed.

I built part of the base for my shed last weekend, got all the bricks neatly laid and the joints dressed... and then discovered a little bag of cement in the bottom of the "ready mixed" mortar bag. Yup, I'd built the wall using just wet sand.
