Advice, part 1

  • To lose weight, reduce the amount you eat and drink.

  • To stop smoking, stop smoking.
  • Don’t buy a Fiat.
  • To improve your kids’ performance in school, reduce their stimulation. Lose your TV, for example, and sugar.
  • If you want to write, write.
  • If you’re not sure about something, ask someone who knows what they’re talking about, but still make up your own mind.
  • Be good, but remember anything can be overdone. God loves you because you’re you.
  • Seriously, watch the sugar. Especially that corn syrup stuff.
  • If you’re unhappy, consider therapy, although it’s okay to be unhappy. Maybe you have a good reason.
  • Have I said don’t buy a Fiat yet?
