    I've done lots of rather silly things in my life. Most of them I laugh at now, but I did not at the time. Anyway, I won't be doing any of the below mentioned things again, so anybody in need of tips are welcome to them:

    - Never wear a national costume in a place with lots of tourists. Your cheeks will hurt from smiling after half an hour.

    - Never appear in wedding dress where French or Spanish coaches are parked. 200 well-wish-kisses are at least 150 too many.

    - Never park an auto camper with a sun shade near a tourist attraction when it rains. Suddenly two coachfuls of Koreans use it for cover while photographing the scenery, and you're stuck there for the duration.

    - If you come off your horse whilst gallopping in the snow, do not stay down to make snow angels. It scares the heck out of your riding companions.

    - Never yell "YI-HAA" wilst gallopping around bends. Kindergarten children are very easily scared.

    - Never stand on tip-toe on top of the back of a rickety chair trying to get hold of band-aid from the top of the first-aid cupboard. You'll suddenly need a lot more than you thought.

    - Never shout sweet nonsensical words without checking if anybody else but the horses are there.

    - Never play "catch" with tame deer near a public road. Some drivers might end up in the ditch.

    Anybody else's experiences are warmly welcomed.

    Very amusing, and all very good tips. :D
    Here are a few life lessons I've learned thus far:

    - Never take a bite of bubblegum flavored chapstick thinking perhaps it's real bubblegum.

    - Never attempt to teach yourself to work a manual car with a fence five feet in front of it.

    - Never shove your foot in an ice-fishing hole to "see" if it has frozen over.

    - Never allow baking soda and vinegar to have direct contact in a recipe that calls for both, it will result in much time spent in the restroom.

    Love your Nevers Droopy and Redrose. :D :D :D

    Here are just a few of mine:

    - Never lean over the 10 foot pond in your garden to get that 'really great shot' of a dragonfly - the water is freezing believe me and tastes foul!!

    - Never apologise to a lamp post when you bump into it - other people think you're crazy.

    - Never shut the front door behind you when you're taking out rubbish to the bin.

    - Never take out rubbish without having your door key or a mobile 'phone with you.
