On the overratedness of sunscreen

(Not that sunscreen is really all that overrated; try to get one at least SPF 30 and waterproof if you're going to spend a lot of time outside. Moisturizer with sunscreen in it is a great way to avoid skin cancer and avoid wrinkles.)

Okay, so a recent conversation with Practically regular (sounds funny, but it stays) Zen Bubba lapsed, inexplicably, into a list of advice for living. And with June seeing the graduation of thousands of high school students, I thought it might be time to take a swing at some Baz Luhrmannism.

Thus:

No one should be alone, but it's better to be alone than to be not-alone with the wrong person.
Don't talk to strangers. (ZB)
Beware of free stuff.
Floss daily. (ZB)
Don't eat anything bigger than your head. (ZB)
Things that scare you are often actually good for you.
Great minds think alike, but so do delusional maniacs. (ZB)
If everything seems to be going your way, make sure you aren't in the wrong lane.
Be sure and tip your waitress. (ZB)
Never pet a burning dog. (ZB)
Ninjas can't touch you if you're on fire. (ZB)
Let the ugly girl sing.
Never hang a hoe in a tree or let a lizard count your teeth. (ZB)
If you're only going to accomplish one thing in life, make sure it's breathing. (ZB)
Someday, a middle-school band director is going to tell you he needs you to either play tuba or drums. Remember that pretty girls don't date tuba players. (ZB)
Everyone is weird in high school. The lucky ones are the ones who realize this and work to capitalize on it in the future.
There is no normal. (ZB)
Deal with it. (ZB)
Love God and have faith, but don't trust churches. (ZB)
Put a password on your wireless network.
Name that wireless network "I can hear you masturbating." (That one's all ZB.)

And this last one comes from a nun I once spoke to at length. Wonderful woman, that one. I highly recommend nuns:

"I don't know what to tell you. I'm right there with you."

Not terribly helpful, but comforting.

So how about you? What wisdom do you have to share with this future generation of unemployees?

The juggernaut armor gives you a lot of added survivability, and you have an air strike you can call in to take out groups of enemies.
Along with the file size, the achievement list was also revealed for the Xbox One version. The meaning of the word beagle is still disputed, but most believe that it derives from the French word begueule which means
“open throat” or beugler  which means “to bellow”,
so you can be certain that you will not miss this little hound when it wants to alert you of something.

Een Amerikaanse koelkasten is niet alleen een zeer grote koelkast
met een ruime inhoud maar tegelijkertijd ook een pronkstuk in uw keuken echter het voornaamste van een Amerikaanse
ijskast is dat uw producten langer vers bewaart
kunnen worden dan in een conventionele koelkast.
Een originele Amerikaanse koelkast beschikt over een luchtcirculatie systeem
in combinatie met sensoren om ervoor te zorgen dat uw producten in optimale conditie bewaard worden tevens
zijn er altijd diverse zones voor het bewaren van uw
groeten, fruit, vlees en vis. De side by side koelkast van de merken GE en IOMABE
beschikken over een zeer intelligent frostguard (no-frost) systeem zodat u
de diepvries nooit meer handmatig hoeft te ontdooien wat tevens zorgt voor
een lager energieverbruik. Naast talloze features zijn de Amerikaanse koelkasten meestal ook voorzien van een waterdispenser en ijsmachine
dit voor de uitgifte van gefilterd koud water, crushed ijs en ijsblokjes.

obviously like your web-site however you need to take
a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very bothersome to tell
the truth however I will certainly come again again.

”Billy Corgan has managed to write the perfect first date soundtrack
despite his often dark and sullen disposition. I know
one producer that ALWAYS buries the vocals so people have to strain to
make it out. When the Beatles recording session happened in January of 1970 Harrison was only 26 years old.
