Don't give up. You can overcome anything if you want to bad enough. I'm proud of you for trying. Yes, it takes a good deal of concentration behind the wheel. But if you can accomplish that, there's nothing stopping you. You're already ahead of a lot of people older than you. People that let...

Someone young enough to know...do they still teach geography or is that too ancient? Sometimes grade school was boring (at best) to me, but I loved looking at maps, atlases, globes, exploring rivers and mountain ranges, depths of the ocean, city populations, I ate this stuff up. It did open up...

Domino's also had a cool mascot around 1986 called "The Noid". This little red and white arch-villain whose mission in life was to see you got a cold, soggy pie delivered to your door. So call Domino's and " Avoid the Noid!" Somewhere I got a little plastic bendy figure of him. Drtooth might...

I didn't know they changed the grade scale since MY day (back in those dank pre-Technicolor days). But the old standard might have given you a little more slack: A= 90-100 B= 80-89 C= 70-79 D= 64-69 F= below 64 Getting my algebra tests back, I used to feel like Bart Simpson. Even with study...

If money was no object, I'd be like Kramer and build various levels into my living room.

If I ever got a tattoo, I would be tempted to burn MATH IS TOUGH into my skin. Aced every other subject, bombed math. It's useful to have a basic understanding of adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, fractions, percentages, etc. But in 30+ years, having a wide range of jobs, my knowledge...

One thing I wish they taught in school was how to handle money. They never tell you how credit cards, car loans, or mortgages work. How interest rates can work against you, how easily you can get into debt (and how hard it can be to get out). Banks, credit card companies, and other financial...

In high school and college (you haven't lived until you stayed in a dorm on the 15th floor) people pulled the fire alarm all the time. But they coat the handle with this blue dye, so you know who pulled the alarm. And fire departments HATE false alarms. Someone's house could be burning down...

To me, pizza chains are passable. (Not Little Caesar's). But short of going to Italy, the mom and pop places will give you a more authentic taste. Pizza Hut, Domino's, etc. is edible. But if people think that's the absolute best, you're settling for a corporate illusion of what's really out...

Fire drills never scared me. Gave us a ten minute time out from class. Never took them seriously. When was the last time you saw concrete burn?

What????!!!! Riding bikes without helmets in this day and age??!! This ad might be slightly technically better than the other two, but doesn't have that so-bad-you- can't-ignore cheesy mung to it.

My experience with film was limited to one college course in 1988. All we had at our disposal were Super 8mm (advanced courses got 16mm). Editing was done with a Movieola machine and a razor blade. Now you're in the filmmaking business! I was intrigued how sensitive the film was. Shooting...

Texting and driving still baffles me. I've been driving for thirty years, and I wouldn't dare take my eyes off the road for a second. (Sirius XM is great. Keep it on Jimmy Buffett's channel, so the radio is one less thing to mess with). So how anyone can look down for more than two seconds...

"An excuse is a reason wrapped in a lie." - Joyce Meyer

On the interstate, you do pull over to the shoulder to let the ambulance through. Only time I've ever seen fire trucks on the interstate is if there was an accident there. Sometimes rescue or fire trucks have to go through red lights, and they'll blast their horns to get through an...
