50 sense

I thought it was time to share some important tips I've learned in my 50 years on this earth. In fact, when I come up with enough of them I may write a book.

Tip #1
Slip-on shoes...These can save you minutes everyday of your life. Think about the whole lacing and unlacing process. Except for running shoes, when is it worth it? Also, at 50 I find that my least favorite motion is bending over. Slip-on shoes eliminate the need for that.

Tip #2
All you can eat buffets...Do not fill your plate with rice, noodles, bread, or lettuce. Go for the crablegs, the oysters, the sushi,the roast beef. Fill up on quality foods. Why pay $10 for 50 cents worth of food. Get your money's worth.

Tip #3
Bathroom...This one my mom ingrained in me at an early age. When we were preparing to go on a drive somewhere, she would ALWAYS say, "Go to the bathroom, whether you need to or not". Now at 50, I have to go if someone picks up their keys. I don't know that this one is really helpful. It seems to have created a neurosis of sorts for me.
