Lessons that I have learnt today.

1. No matter how much the tempation, do not slide down the stairs from my house on your butt. You might think that because the stairs are covered in a thick sheet of ice that it might not be painful. NOT!! It was fun, but not recommended for all.

2. When trying to remove the ice and snow build up between the wheel well and the wheel, never use a sharp object. It might hit the tire and puncture it. Then you might have to race off to Goodyear to buy two new tires to replace the one that you pierced ($236 to be precise), because when you replace one whell you have to replace at least one other one. And then they might tell you that there is something else wrong with your car. Like you might need to replace the springs on the rear of your car, and pay for labour and reallignment and replacement strings ($400).

3. When reaching for a receipt after having your eyebrows waxed, make sure that you have a tip in your hand, as the hand reaching to give you the bill is ready to snatch up the money that you should offer them. Hmmm.

4. Snow storms cause big problems. For example when an airport runs out of de-ing fluid, it causes a huge backup.Take for instance my flight to PUJ tonight is delayed from 16h15 to 20h30, which means that my night of sleep is shot, as I will not even be back until 8h30 tommorow morning.

5. I take that back, about snow storms. They offer you the oportunity to spice up your normal routine. Can you think of anything better but being told that you have to go home. I had the BEST day ever. (TY.LR)

6. Forks are good, but chop sticks are better. That is why I bought four pairs today.

7. Large wine glasses are great. You know the ones that are so big that they can fit almost a whole bottle of wine in them. That is why I had to buy another set. Now I can have more people over for drinks.
