Things I've Learned-5
1. Most of the free advice that's shared by others is worth what it cost.
2. When in doubt, throw it out (food).
3.Read the F***ing manual (everything but food).

Things I've Learned-4
1. All work and no play is real life.
2. The acorn that doesn't fall far from the tree is a nut--just like his parents!
3. It's harder each year to think of "something I want" because generally, I've already bought it myself.
4. Never rub your eyes after chopping hot peppers. Not even two days later. Trust me on this.

Things I've Learned-2
1. If you are running low on yarn, knitting faster doesn't help.
2. A sizeable yarn stash is a joy forever, and ever, and ever.
3. Use the best appropriate materials you can afford.
4. Knit for charity the same way you knit for family.
Bev sent this picture of her 9 finished Mittnz pairs.
I think she did a terrific job!
Now send me your Mittnz pictures.

Things I've Learned-1
Heading into a major birthday, Ithought I would share some of the things I've learned in 60 years:
1. If you are sitting and waiting for a haircut at Sit Down And Wait Your Turn, and the next operator "up" has pink hair, wait a little longer.
2. If you are in a hurry to get home (or to the bar), so much so that you find it necessary to weave in and out of traffic, don't be too surprised to see me still in your rear view mirror when we both get there.
3. Exercise doesn't get less painful if you put it off.
4. Ditto healthy eating.
