    The only one I would disagree with is that sometimes the best thing you can do with certain crazy people is look them straight in the eye and don't be the one to look away first. Depends on the type of mad. ;)

  4. If you're the "madman" does this mean you can't look in the mirror?

  6. Words to live by. Love the: "Do rather than do nothing!" Kind of my motto...kind of why I get into so much trouble too, but it's ok. I'm good with trouble.

  7. Great list Possum! I DON'T have white high heels (so no worries there), DO old fashioned things like baking, canning & letting plants self-seed while I am gardening, try not to blame others for my life, but DON"T get enough exercise (sadly, but working on it). While cryptic crosswords aren't my cup of tea, I DO sudokos, jigsaw puzzles & mah jong to keep my brain firing, when I am not smelling my roses, lilacs & whatever else is blooming in the yard. And right now I am in the moment, which is right here in Possum's land!

  9. Great list of advice, Possum!

    By the way, I absolutely loved your comment on my blog today. So romantic! :)

    I usually hit reply right in my email and answer comments that way, but your email comes up missing. I feel like we had this conversation already...and i think you sent me your email, but if you have, I've lost it...oops!
