N     U     M      B      E      R        T      W      O

1. Absence of conflict does not mean you have good communication, it means you have the final divorce decree.
***
2. If you wish to make yourself miserable...go for the best instead of good enough.
***

3.Never pull out all the stops...save three or four you may need them.
***
4. Lower your expectations to better reflect your abilities.
***
5. Do not part with your cherished illusions...they probably cost you a fortune.
***
6. Good looks will carry you only so far...but that's close enough to fake it.
***

7. Don't follow too closely if you're uninsured, unarmed, and unstable.
***
8. I wonder where to invest the time I've saved during Daylight Savings Time?
***
9. Nothing is more boring than a good example.
***
10. Call your mother-in-law today and wish her well...
she will revise her opinion of you... after she gets over the shock.

I was grinning bemusedly all the way through until I hit the disclaimer which threw me into a seizure of laughter. I may have to sue you for a ruptured disc. Incidentally, number four describes me fairly completely.

Count-am on a return visit and find this time I absolutely love-"If you wish to make yourself miserable...go for the best instead of good enough." A lesson this Faustean world finds difficult to learn.
