Rule No.73 - Stay home when you are drunk

If only it was that easy. We come from what they call Generation Y, which among some good qualities, we are also known as the binge drinkers. Different sites have different age groups for this generation but the majority says its the eighties babies.

On Health culture society they have put up the video by ‘LMFAO’. The song is titled ‘Shots’ and features vocals from rapper Lil’ Jon. The video shows LMFAO and Lil’ Jon pouring shots while at a pool party. They then go on to say: "This artefact demonstrates how prevalent binge drinking is in society and how the epidemic is fuelled by generation Y. Binge drinking, or deliberate drinking to intoxication is most common among young people, and is associated with an increased risk of chronic disease, injury and premature mortality."

Yoh, and all we want is to have a good time. Suze Original, Buttnutt and myself decided to stay in and have a couple drinks at home the one night, let's call it "three-man night", but after a bottle of champagne, a bottle of caramel vodka, bottle of potency, a cane train punch and some other things lying around, we decided the best idea in the whole world was to walk to the pub up the road and have a couple more. Logic tells us we should have stopped at home, said goodnight and gone to bed, but we weren't done having fun.


Tell you what, it was one hellofa fun party and I have no regrets (except that I didn't get enough of those delicious chips at the pub). Should we have stayed at home that night, probably. Would we have missed out on more fun, of course.

Yes, you should stay at home when you drunk, but if you not home, you might as well have a fun night and get a taxi home when you done having a good time. Else you going to miss out on dancing on speakers, eating amazing burgers at 2 in the morning, watching the sunrise, meeting new people and laughing till your cheeks hurt. Let's just try doing the drinking in moderation.

I totally agree, I think having all that alcohol just pickles the brain, never mind the costs. Why can't the 80's children be happy without drinking so much. Surely there is more to life than over indulging. That is how I feel.

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 (very quickly realising that my husband is no hairdresser
