Or, you could just ask the old codgers hanging around this place - save ya the cost of the book.

I'll start you off with a few:

1) Never piss off the secretary.
2) Don't **** where you eat, don't piss where you drink.
3) Whenever you leave the house wear clean underwear.
4) Remember the five words that will take you everywhere in life - "That's right, you're absolutely correct".
5) Don't eat the yellow snow.

I don't believe in living life with no regrets. I have definitely done things I regret doing.

But that doesn't mean we should beat ourselves up over our mistakes. Instead, we should make them inform our future behavior.

IMO, that's the way to live life with regrets

Don't spend the majority of your young life making ignorant posts on debatepolitics. Wonder if that was one?
