Regarding toxic people: Cut them out of your life as soon as you can, and make no contact forever. Even if they are your family members. Your life isn't worth wasting on toxic people--I have 38 years of experience with this one, and the past year of my life completely out of contact with my family has been the best year of my life.

Favourite quotes with some wisdom mixed in (the internet lies about who said them so I'm going to avoid that pitfall by not listing an author):

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Either we are alone in the universe or we are not: both ideas are overwhelming.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

You can judge a lot about a society (or person, in my opinion) but the way its animals are treated.

A favourite Vonnegut quote (of which there are many):

I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, “If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.”

And some Groucho for good measure

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it is too dark to read."

This is confusing on so many levels.

Is it suppose to say "wouldn't?"

Cause I know one place you should be putting your fingers for sure that you put your dink in!

And if it is supposed to say "wouldn't" I can think of lots of places I stick my fingers that I wouldn't stick my dink.

- In my nose
- In the toaster to get bread that's stuck
- In string to tie a knot
- Rubbing my eyes
- Pushing my remote control!

Very confusing advice!

So, skip 3rd, and just go straight from 2nd to home?

I am sure most people saw this diagram before, but I feel like this should be posted in every office boardroom. There is one guy I work with that I think should have it stapled to his face:
