Whether it's cold or whether it's hot, you'll always have weather whether you like it or not.

Everyone complains about the weather, but no one does anything about it.

Goes along with my dad's rule for making a construction estimate (time or money): do all the math for a precise quote. Then double it and add a third. He *sometimes* managed to make money  Calculate schedule. Then divide by 2 and add a unit of time. For example, something you think will take 3 days will take 1.5 weeks. It's remarkably accurate. |

Which is why I suggested to my wife that, since the mechanic would take 5 hours to change the timing belt/water pump/etc on her car, it would take me all frikkin' weekend. (found someone to do it...SAVED!) |

Anyone want to share some obvious truths they've lived through? Never let x-girlfriends who dumped you because you didn't have money or a decent job find out you now have money and a great job. They will call you even if you and/or they are married now........ and ask for money. |

The grass is always greener I keep trying to teach people that the green grass on the other side of the fence is poison, but they insist on sticking their necks through the barbed wire and getting their throats cut. |

Some of these are not truisms, but just plain wrong.
