    Feel free to add your own and discuss:

    --------------------------------------------

    - Floss before you brush. I used to do it the other way around until someone explained how I was undoing the purpose of brushing in the first place.

    - If you have friends who only contact you when they need something, it's time to get new friends.

    - For guys: learn the pocket-pat-down routine. Repeating the same sequence will keep you from forgetting or losing items.

    - Don't spend what you don't have to buy things you don't need.

    - Let the Joneses keep up with themselves.

    Great list Frank. I especially like #'s 2, 4 and 5.
    Hmm...I can't seem to think of any to add right now. I'll have to think about it ;)

    Make sure the cap is on tight before you shake any bottle.
    Don't wear a white blouse/shirt if you are going to an Italian restaurant.

    Set aside some time each week for your hobby. If you don't have one, get one!
    (this tip may be a bit redundant on a gardening forum :D)

    Close the silverware drawer before measuring flour, sugar, coffee etc on the counter above it (lest you spill and have to empty the whole drawer to clean it...).

    Never let anyone know that you know how to clean fish!
