    If you know you have something to take care of the next morning, make sure you get to bed early. And SLEEP!

      Never flush dental floss down the toilet. It will snag somewhere along the way and start collecting "debris" (much faster depending on how often you do it) which will eventually clog your sewer line. Very expensive repair.

      If you are having trouble opening a jar, run warm water along the lid. It does two things: if the item was refrigerated it will loosen the substance (like mayo, ketchup, etc.), and it helps expand the lid at a molecular level, sometimes enough to get you that gap needed to open. Or you can just man up, be a dude, and try harder

      Always get a home inspection when buying a house. It seems obvious, but the people that get cheap most often (first time home buyers) are the ones who can least afford to be wrong in the long run.

      Change your oil at the most every 5,000 miles. 3,000 is what they'll tell you, but if your car is less than 15 years old, you can get away with much more due to the blends and the engine technology.

      Don't date a woman with daddy issues. It will never end well.

      Beer before liquor = never been sicker. You keep drinking liquor like you were drinking beer and you get drunk much faster--oftentimes before you even know it. That equals pukey pukey.

      Don't major in something in college because it's easy. You'll pay way more than it's worth and you won't get a decent job when you graduate.

      Always be nice to people that work in food service. Things are crazy during lunch and dinner rushes and orders will get messed up. The person you are talking to didn't cause the problem most likely, and even the guys in the back making the food aren't perfect. Plus, in most restaurants you can't see your food being made, so it's much better to be nice and understanding and have peace of mind.

            When buying a Louisville Slugger wooden bat, only buy a bat that has the number 125 inside the oval label. Depending on the year, it will also say Powerized above to label. That means it's a pro quality bat.


            Always hit with the label facing up or down, on all wood bats. They stamp the weakest side of the bat, so hitting with the label up or down will let you hit the ball on the hardest part of the bat.

            Also, use a bat that you are most comfortable with. Don't feel like you must use what your coach wants you to use.

                  If you hit it directly on the label you have a decent chance of cracking the bat also

                    Something I have learned in the last 5 or so years:

                    Watch the volume of your voice when speaking to people, avoid the temptation to try and say something "cute" or "silly," and lower the amount of words you say and increase the thoughtfulness in what you do say.
                    Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                      Never regret the desicions you make in life.
                      Don't dwell on the past only look towards the future.
                      Everything happens for a Reason.
