1. Never EVER ask someone when they're due, unless you are absolutely positively sure they're pregnant.
2. Living above your means and/or trying to keep up with the Joneses will eventually lead to disaster.
3. Drinking to overcome social anxiety is another recipe for disaster.
4. If someone talks about other people to you, you can be damn sure they'll gossip about you.
5. Nobody likes a bragger, but if you meet one, try to understand that they're probably insecure, so give them some attention. (Consider it your good deed for the day.)
More to come...
Happy Sunday!

Great advice.... for someone of any age!
So that is where I am going wrong--on almost all of them!
Great advice! I always enjoy reading your posts!
love it all - but gd it I tend to forget the drinking/social anxiety from time to time ;) I'll learn one of these days!
Your 44! JK great lessons!
Oh how awful I felt when I did just that, asked an old friend when she was having her baby. She answered me saying "What are you talking about, I'm not pregnant!"
I could have crawled away somewhere. Let me have an extra large coffee right now!

I learned my lesson a long time ago when I asked someone when they were due and they weren't pregnant. I think I was 24 at the time. I felt horrible. Never thought about the gossip thing, but very true too. Nice advice.
Umm. I think you forgot one:

Words to live by. Except number three... when in uncomfortable social situations - vodka tonics are my very best friends.
These are VERY good!
i like these! a woman i know STILL doesnt talk to me 10 years after i congratulated her on her (non-existant) pregnancy. hey, she had a BIG belly...
Straight up solid advice!
Definitely great advice. Thanks for sharing!
And I think you shouldn't ask even when you know the person's pregnant -- don't pregnant women always get tired of answering the same question???
Oh I love these. And they are so true! Number 1 made me laugh out loud! Thanks!! xoxo

Interesting, Maybe you should add Buy Sex Toys so people can explore their sexuality as well.
