1. Wear sunglasses, meteorology regardless.
2. Read books on art by artists—they have something in common.

22. Always stand by an opening at parties as you never know when escape may be necessary.
23. Drink milk and then smile. If the calcium doesn’t improve your teeth, actually using them will
24. Never mind I’ll find someone like you.
256. Things to keep on you at all times: an iPad. It has everything else you need, anyway.
