I have gotten a few:
Dont pick your nose on the bumper cars.
Dont brush your teeth with a brick.
Dont wear spurs in the life raft.
Dont stick a steak knife in your eye.
(That is one from our life. My husband did it. Its a good tip)
Anyway, DU must have some good tips for me. Thanks🤗

(34,136 posts)This is from a family story - my little sister cut her foot open on a piece of glass. Mom wrapped it up then put a bread bag around that foot before she'd let my sister into the car to take her to the doctor.
Mom's effort at keeping that car clean paid off. When they upgraded to a newer car, the interior was immaculate and the exterior was in really good condition - even after ten years of family trips with four kids.

1. Travel as much as you can.
2. Owning a home gives you financial "stability", but weigh that against how much you want to explore, willing to "will" down if any, what you will sacrifice for staying in one place.
3. Try food you wouldn't get at home.
4. Experience the local museums.
5. Go Hiking...a lot.

(28,823 posts)Little Billys mom was busy and Billy was under foot so she said: Billy go outside. Go watch the builders across the street, maybe you can learn something.
So Billy goes out. Stays out a long time.
When he comes home, his mom says:
So Billy, what did you learn out there.
Without hesitation Billy responds:
Well, I learned that you cut the damn board. When you hang the s-o-b the g-damned shit doesnt fit. So you take the m-effer down shave off a c-hair and put the c-sucker back up.
Billys mom was shocked. She said: Go to your room and think about just what you will say to your father when he gets home.
Billys dad returns. Says: Your mother said I should hear what you learned today...
Billy repeats: board ... sob... fit... m-effer
....c-sucker.... etc.
Dad says: Thats awful go out in the backyard and fetch me a switch.
Billy looks him right in the eye and says:
FYou, that an electricians job.
