"When you discover your cat hanging on the fence by one leg wedged between two boards do not try to untangle it with your bare hands!",
"If you can't find the water heater in the garage, it's time to clean out the garage.",
"Kids say the darndest things.  Usually when you don't want them to!",
"Duct tape works wonders for noisy kids.  Just kidding!  Really.  Now where did I put that tape?",
"Style Sheets are templates, very similar to templates in desktop publishing applications, containing a collection of rules declared to various selectors (elements).",
"Pick the dog poop up before you mow the lawn.  Better yet, get the kids to pick it up for you!",
"Old wives tale: &quot;Kids like chocolate!&quot; This myth was instigated through a conspiracy of chocolate manufacturers many years ago. There is no truth in this malicious falicy...ow, ow, okay, okay girls, quit hitting me...kids DO like chocolate!",
"Training your dog to poop in one spot helps relieve back ache. If you figure out how to do this, let us know!",
"If your friend's wife left him last night, do not work with him while defusing bombs.",
"How about a little email etiquette? You know all those jokes, graphics, etc. that we all have so much fun passing around? When you forward one of these to others, stop, think, &quot;do I enjoy having to open ten enclosures to get the the original message? No I don't!&quot; So how about copying the message or saving the graphic and then putting it in a new email message to reduce the frustration for those you are forwarding!",
"Household Hazardous Wastes are products that are purchased for use in or around the home.

Check the label for DANGER, WARNING, CORROSIVE, FLAMMABLE, EXPLOSIVE, OXIDIZER, IRRITANT, HARMFUL, FATAL, POISON.",
"We are guilty of this one also. We find something that really gets our interest like a little executable or Flash dealy and email it as an attachment to friends. The problem is these things are usually LARGE in file size and the recipient has to wait forever to download the thing and watch it for ten seconds. Maybe we need to think about just sending a link with an explanation and the recipient can decide whether they want to download that monster!",
