Twenty Things I've Learned In Twenty Years

1. If you have the right of way, take it.

2. You don’t get to choose your own nickname.

3. When you marry someone, remember you marry their entire family.

4. Under no circumstances should you ask a woman if she’s pregnant.

5. When giving a thank you speech, short and sweet is best.

6. Never gloat.

7. Invest in good luggage.

8. Make time for your mom on your birthday. It’s her special day, too.

9. When opening presents, no one likes a good guesser.

10. Sympathy is a crutch, never fake a limp.

11. Give credit. Take blame.

12. Don’t stare.

13. Cologne was not invented to bathe in.

14. If you’ve made your point, stop talking.

15. Admit it when you’re wrong.

16. Never answer the phone at the dinner table.

17. Forgive yourself for your mistakes.

18. Know at least one good joke.

19. Learn to drive your stick shift

20. Be a good listener. Don’t just wait for your turn to talk

M..I automatically win that table game. I don't have one of those phones I carry with me.I do have one I keep in the car for emergencies and such. But it doe not have text ability or any of those so-called "smart" features. I am not inclined to get one ether. I use land line. We survived before they were introduced to the general population, even in emergencies!

Oh BTW, I would go to dinner with you at the drop of a hat! Between music and art, I don't think the conversation would be dull.

    Quoting DancingDom:
    I think the most ignored point is the one about taking calls at the dinner table or anywhere a meal is involved, when in the company of a date, family, associate and so forth. Perhaps one exception is at a business lunch and you expect a call related to the discussion other than how to make a martini.
So there's this game... We all go out to dinner. All the phones are stacked in the center of the table. The first person to answer a text or call pays the bill. (Emergencies excluded)

    That is an outstanding list! It should be taught in schools. Reading, writing, arithmetic and tact.

    There is one you forgot though that applies mainly to women .... Never make eye contact while eating a banana .....
Thank you. It's a pleasure to see you. I definitely think "tact" is something that we're all in desperate need of.
I once read "Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell, in such a way, that they look forward to the trip." I thought that was awesome!
Thank you for stopping by.

I could have gone on and on, but I thought I'd stick to twenty.
