What Are Your Life 'Rules'?

It's been pretty intense around here with all of the economic news, election coverage and health controversies, but there's a lot more happening in the iVillage community beyond heavy news and debates. Tam, our wonderful Community Producer, sent along this post from the Feminism Today board that caught my eye and made me smile. iVillager the_big_c writes:

"It's my daughter's 19th birthday this week and I thought I'd give her a list of rules she could refer to when I'm not around."

The list includes some great advice and reminders, such as:

"In Monopoly, buy the orange properties."

"Don’t call things by their brands, they are still just shoes and sunglasses."

"If unsure whether to call or not, the answer is always to call."

Others on the board have chimed in with their rules that range from the practical:  "Wear sunscreen. Floss daily." and  "Over tip at breakfast. The waitress is working just as hard even though the food costs less." ...to the sublime: "Feel free to sing along with the radio."

Of course this got me thinking of just what my own list might look like... and curious about what's on yours. Let me know what your list would include and feel free to stop in on the Feminism Today board and chime in on the list there.
