Try breaking an egg into mince half way through it browning when making spaghetti bolognese. Tastes good.

Vodka can never be part of a healthy diet.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

If someone asks you what you're thinking, the trick is to NOT REALLY TELL THEM.

Climbing is fun, and illegal in most inner-city areas.

Kharma can't be proven, guilt and retribution can.

sure this is an obvious one, looks CAN be decieving, not sure if that is something Aspies pick up well on, I know I didn't and learned the hard way

Should be printed on a little card and handed out to all parents of new babies before they leave the hospital.

What I have learned:

Steer well clear of anyone who tries to make you distrust your deepest instincts.

If someone badmouths other people to you, they will also badmouth you to other people.

If someone's behavior is hurting you and is genuinely intolerable, and you let them know that, and they carry on doing it regardless...walk away. It's not worth your trying any harder to change them - because they won't - and it's not worth your sticking around to carry on getting hurt.

No matter how weird you think you are, there's always somebody weirder.

"Families....They rock and they suck." (Neil Gaiman.)

There are any number of ways to get high without ever touching drugs.

Like the airlines say, put on your own oxygen mask first before you attend to the kids. (In other words, if you look after your own welfare you will be that much better able to look after the welfare of your significant others.)

You can get away with doing almost anything in the street if you tell passers-by "It's OK...I'm an artist."

Music can genuinely change your life.

Everyone should travel to a different country, with a different language at least once in their life - preferably when they're young: 15-25 years old.

For an aspie its extra enlightening, because you will learn how much communication is non-verbal and often universal.

And mind your posture.

Agree. Also, I think at the same sort of age, everyone should spend at least two years living away from their parents/guardians. Trust me, if you marry straight from home like I did, it doesn't leave you any space to work out what your own thoughts, opinions and feelings really are before you embark on adult life. (Also, you tend to have to learn to cook that way, which I didn't do nearly soon enough.)

"Never trust a thought you have when you are NOT running."

As a long time meditator, I would add never trust any thought, period.

Homer: Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose; it's how drunk you get.

"The truth will set you free."
-unless you are guilty, in which case you can expect 5 to life.
