Stuff that everyone should know, but some people don't.

Do your research BEFORE you buy something. Don't click "Place order now" and then decide to see if it's cheaper somewhere else, or look around for a better product. Then you don't have to come here and complain about a lousy return policy or the crappy system that didn't cancel your order before it shipped.

If your bank offers you something "special", it's probably not in your best interest to sign up.

Spelling is important in the real world.

True friends are more valuable than just about anything.

Drinking is overrated.

Neither have I. Errr... that is, the five years of swimming lessons that I took were completely wasted on me.

I took a 16 lesson class and all I have to show for it is a semi decent back stroke... and the ability to swim underwater as long as I can hold my breathe... once I need air I'm done =)

Though I did miss about 4 out of the 16 classes (thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it)

The ability to SWIM underwater and not drown is technically called "Swimming."

If you don't die, then you can swim. "semi swimming" is controlled drowning.
