There are so many people on this board that have a great deal to offer...businessmen, retirees, students, professionals, mechanics etc...If each one of you could give one piece of advice about your profession, hobby, season of life etc....what would it be?? Example: A mechanic might say to get your oil changed every 3000 miles or a fireman might say to have an exit plan for your family or an attorney might mention getting a will done etc...Think of the BEST piece of advice that you could give someone about YOUR area of expertise!

Get your pet examined yearly. Vaccinations are great and they are very important...especially when your pet is young but the exam is the most important part. Pets age more rapidly than we do so alot can happen in a years time.

Find out what terms your neighbors are getting before signing an Oil and Gas Lease. I generaly try to pay everyone the same and give the same terms when I buy a lease, but, there are those Petroleum Landmen that will try to low ball you. Make sure you do your home work and be informed.

Read to your kids every day. Stop after every page and ask questions, what's happening, who is doing what & why, what do you think will happen next, etc. Don't just read the words.

Good advice bearcat...Sometimes when I read to the kids I speed through the book and not ask anything. Not only am I not making sure that they are comprehending...it also gives the message that you are just trying to get it over with.

Don't drink and drive, but if you do don't take the breath test, and don't show up at your trial wearing a DDAMM (Drunk Drivers Against Mad Mothers) sweatshirt.

I had two jobs up until recently.
Here is some info from the job I stayed with.PIPELINE Gas Transportation

Call before you dig. There are high pressure plpelines every where. With urban sprawl going on every where and the developement of rural areas there is the possibility of hitting one risking property damage, injury, and even death. You hit one big enough with 1000 pounds of pressure you can destroy everything within 700 feet of the the explosion.Call even if you are Planting a tree in your new front yard.

Use the state one call system it is the LAW.
here is the number: 1-800-344-8377 DIG TESS

As a husband...tell your wife how much you love her and how much she means to you...even if you told her yesterday and the day before...she will never get tired of hearing it. Also show her that you love her by doing something for her that she likes or get her a thoughtful gift. 50% of marriages end in divorce...lets make it 49%...48..45...Starting today! :)

Scoreboards don't reward the best teams, only the one's with the most points. You don't have to be better than your opponent, just find a way to score more points.

Taking you seriously and not reading all the post to this(sorry)...
If you want to post please update Windows weekly.
Go to sleep early if you want to wake up early! :D
An ounce worth of Pop-up stoppers is worth trying to spend an afternoon rebooting your computer.
If Windows asks you to reboot, "JUST SAY NO!".
Don't trust anyone who says, "If you leave your computer on overnight, it will burn less than a 60 Watt lightbulb." That's a big myth. I read it actually burns something like a 65 Watt bulb.
If you go to a chinese food restaurant, and there are missing cat signs plastered around the neighborhood, you should not be there...

Hmmm, words of advice....

Always stop to check for errors before handing off your work. A minute or so of your time may save someone else quite a bit of time & may also prevent them from being aggravated with you.

Delegate.

Attend every event possible that your child is involved in. Always support them, regardless of how well they do.

Spend quality time with your kids. At your funeral, which would you rather have said about you..."He/she was a great employee and worked a lot of hours" OR "He/she was a great parent and spent time with me when it mattered".

Two things...

1&gt; Try and live lean in all parts of your life... Eliminating waste GIVES you the time you think you never have.

2&gt; Try and pick hobbies and recreation that involves you and your family.
