My daughter wrote me and my husband a whole bunch of letters yesterday to cheer up our day. She played “postman” and delivered a whole stack. One of the items was a postcard and apart from her lovely message it had 5 Handy Tips for Life. I have no idea where she got them from but my husband and I had to laugh so hard, it made me realize how precious those moments full of smiles and laughter are. So, I wanted to share those funny tips with you and hope to bring a smile on your face. Here they are:
HANDY TIPS FOR LIFE
1. Finance Tip:
Save on gasoline by pushing your car to your destination. Invariably passers-by will think you’ve broken down and help.
2. Houshold Tip:
Old Telephone directories make ideal personal address books. Simply cross out the names and address of people you don’t know.
3. Personal Hygiene:
Not time for a bath ? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove the dirt by simply peeling it off.
4. Safety Tip:
Never attempt to fasten your shoe laces in a revolving supermarket door.
5. Inexpensive Entertainment:
At work, put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
Live is too short to take it serious.
