Rule No. 117 - Never play checkers with a man that carries his own board

Unless you enjoy loosing, which isn't normal and you should see someone about it.
Alternatively, if you carry your own board then by all means, have a game of checkers. Just might be a tough decision who's board you going to use. Maybe you can throw dice for it. Highest number wins.

Better idea, play giant Checkers! http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/gallery/2012-01/archive-gallery-board-games-werent-always-fun?image=7

Rule No.33 - Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day

Okay, rules are back and what a classic one! This quote is by Harry S Truman. He was the 33 rd president of America, historians call him “a controversial president”, the band Chicago wrote a song just for him and he has a commemorative holiday in his name on the 8 th May in Missouri. This is brilliant advise, not in the literal sense, well, that too, but if you having a seriously bad day, don’t make things worse by deliberately doing something that will bite you in the bum later. I did this the other day, so I am talking out of experience here. I went into a situation and then on the way out, after realising it was a bad situation, I kicked a fresh turd cause I was so mad. (again, not literally, although, that might have been a better idea in hindsight) My advise in this circumstance is to stay indoors that day until you have calmed yourself down. I’ll leave you with another quote from Truman : A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who ...

Rule No. 76 – Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

I was on a plane last night on my way home and after my original idea of having a really awesome nap after two extremely tough weeks being completely thrown aside thanks to my hard of hearing peeps behind me that thought it necessary to use their fists on the tray to make a point, and they had a LOT of points, while bashing my chair at the same time, i decided what better time to think about this rule instead. Use my time productively. Then, somewhere between my eyes rolling back in exhaustion and semi consciousness, i looked over to the other row and there was a lady with her wallet on her lap, sorting out her slips, throwing away her bank statements. Brilliant. Seriously though, why would you want to keep them? We all do, just in case we need it for something, but when have you ever really needed them?These days they give you the option if you want to print out the receipt or not. Do yourself and the tree's a favour and just say no. Sorted. Now love letters. Aaah, love letters. I...

Restoring self-confidence after breast cancer - by Lauren Harmse

Self-confidence; a feeling of trust in one’s abilities, qualities and judgement . Something most women have issues with in everyday life in general. Add cancer into the mix and the concoction can be devastating. My self-confidence took a huge hit after I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 29 . It was a whirlwind of doctors’ appointments, preparations and wig shopping . I started treatment immediately and the reality only began to sink in after I had completed my first red devil chemo and my scalp became sensitive . I was going to lose my hair and I was devastated. I had always had “mermaid” hair. It flowed down my back and had always been my crowning jewel. I decided to shave my hair before it started to fall out in chunks, I felt like it made me more in charge of my destiny. My adoring husband shaved his head first and then we started on mine. We first cut it into all sorts of funky styles (ver...
