#4 15 Minute Nap

The most expensive thing in life is a 15-minute nap not taken

I know 2 people who killed someone due to being too tired, falling asleep, and wrecking.
Another cousin likely fell asleep, wrecked, and died.
My father damaged at least one vehicle falling asleep at the wheel.
It is also very likely that had I stopped for a nap I wouldn't have wrecked our Honda Pilot. My brain would have been more alert to process data more quickly.

15 minutes can cost a life. A car. A livelihood. A family. . .

26 Fail Passionately.

 TRUE FREEDOM IS FOUND IN FAILURE. 3/2009 It seems that communism, socialism, and even democracy all have one thing in common. Then are striving to make all men equal, equal in value, equal in rights, equal in pay, equal in say... with the use of government to help ensure you can't fail, it is security. As H.L.

(Ask a Criminal, not a liberal.) It seems to me that by removing the ability of someone to fail, by rules or protection or Political Correctness or Affirmative Act...

Sorry, Sunshine. I don't give a crap about what your deity of choice says, if the interactions of those in your faith cause you to desire an expedited departure to the afterlife of your that religion is NOT and CAN NOT hold truth. No matter the truthfulness of its doctrine. If a religion's value can be measured, it is in the interaction of its congregation with itself, and tangentially with others. If that interaction results in a negative balance in your life you do not need, nor should you desire, to continue to interact with those of said religion just so you can be rewarded in an afterlife; you should demand a different congregation. It is okay to not feel welcome, it is a great lie the deceiver tells in every religion I have studied, it is NOT okay to be made to feel unwelcome by those who should be there to support and uphold a child of their God. The difference between Saint and Satan is where the "I" is placed. To a saint, I am supported and surrounded, right ...

RTV : So adventure? KH: What about? RTV : Well if'n you were to just drive off where'd you go. KH : to the edge of the world R. Tyson Vance: The new world, the old world, or your world? KH: What do you mean? RTV : The edge of the new world I'd call Japan, The edge of the old world I'd call Rome, and the edge of your world is where fear begins. . . Where does fear begin?
