Continuing a theme. I highlighted my favorites. From Wendy Atterberry at The Frisky.
- Champagne, vodka, gin and beer don’t mix well.
- If he never calls before 11 p.m., he’s not interested in a real relationship.
- “Comfort” and “security” aren’t big enough reasons to stay with someone.
- Guys don’t care about — or even notice — those 10 extra pounds.
- Love is rarely packaged the way you expect it to be.
- It’s generally much kinder to be direct with someone than pussy-foot around the truth in order to spare feelings.
- One of the biggest keys to making friendships last is being flexible in your expectations.
- If your happiness with someone is contingent on one little thing he or she needs to change, cut your losses and move on.
- If you don’t have the money to pay cash for it, don’t buy it.
- Box dye jobs look like box dye jobs (especially if you’re going for red).
- If his friends hate you, your days together are probably numbered.
- Relationships are not supposed to be hard in the beginning.
- If he says he doesn’t want a relationship, he really means it.
- Eyebrows really don’t grow back if they’re overly tweezed.
- Nude underwear is really the only acceptable color to wear under white pants.
- This moment — however good or bad it is — will be just a blip on the radar two years from now.
- If he seems obsessed with his ex, he probably is.
- Holding a grudge is bad for your back (and soul).
- When a vet says your cat has cancer, get a second opinion before you let him operate.
- A teaspoon is not the same thing as a tablespoon.
- Buying it one size too small won’t make you lose weight any faster.
Wendy thought of more a few months later:
- Therapy isn’t just for people who think they’re crazy.
- Most people experience bouts of loneliness, sadness, confusion and insecurity, too (no matter how strong or put-together they seem).
- If you hate your job, quit ... but not before you have another one lined up (or enough money to float you for many months).
- Judging other people’s decisions is not the best way to validate your own.
- Sleep, water, and sunscreen: cheaper than Botox and more effective than makeup.
- New Year’s Eve is pretty overrated.
- Mom and Dad don’t always know best.
- Toothpaste makes a wonderful overnight zit cream.
- If you can’t imagine kissing him, don’t bother going out with him “just to make sure there isn’t something there.”
- A good haircut is worth the expense.
- The price of owning a car is typically three to five times what you pay for it when you buy it.
- Two glasses of water after a night of drinking will save your ass the next morning.
- If it fits you perfectly and you love it, buy two. (But three if it’s on sale!)
- It’s never as good as the first time.
- Internet comments are rarely about the person being responded to.
- A smile can make you look at least five years younger.
- If you suddenly look five pounds heavier, you might need a new bra more than a new diet.
- Seriously, you don’t need a relationship to be happy.
- Washing your face before bed is a must.
- Sometimes, keeping the peace is so much better than being right.
- If it’s important, don’t say it in an email.
