Instructions for Life
by Wildfire1992 Sun Feb 24, 2013 5:03 pm
So....I a few years ago I found this paper with these instructions in a trash can. It caught my eye I took it out and read them...and fell in love with them even though I don't always follow all of them; though some of them I'm really good at. I read them to Pauline at one point and she told me I should share them: months later I finally am. LOL. So enjoy, and if want to add anymore feel free to.

5. when you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.
6. Be engaged at lest six months before you get married.
