Life Lesson #74

I make few rules for myself.

In fact, I have but one rule.

Today, I broke it.

It was thoughtless and stupid... and Lord knows I paid for it.

I wouldn't even bring it up except that I want others to learn from my mistakes.

It's a good rule, and when followed, it will enrich your life and increase the value of your self worth.

So, without further ado, I give you my one and only rule:

If you must sniff a dairy product more than once to see if it has gone bad, do not taste it. Throw it away immediately!





So, do yourselves a favor. Follow my two-sniff rule.

And don't let the funky mozzarella ruin your day.

I always take the strongest most unnecessary whiff of my kids underwear that i find on the floor to see if they are dirty.

BIGGEST mistake every frigging time!! they have about 5000 pairs of underwear..."just assume they are dirty lady, and throw them in the hamper!"....aka the "NO sniff" rule.

it has clearly killed some brain cells over the years.

Did you ever see that commercial where the couple passes out from sniffing their fridge contents? It's an older commercial and I don't remember what it advertised, but it was as hilarious as any Sponge Bob episode.

I'll remember your wisdom about spoilt dairy. In my house last week, beef was the enemy.

You have only one rule, but it is #74. Works for me.
