Yes, that last sentence is exactly what my brother says. Here's one I got from my brother:

And we are supposed to "enjoy today" because we are all American, I guess.

If you're British or Canadian, you can be American today. Just keep racking up the debt. Buy the latest techy device for $500 on your credit card and keep your head stuck in video games 24/7.

Tip #224 - It stops with the individual.

They say that an abused person will become an abuser, so where does the cycle stop? It stops with the individual.

Tip 225: don't read up on diseases you think your kids might have just before you go to bed.

Tip 226: keep ear plugs handy (for those nights when the hubby's snoring just gets too much, or you're sick of listening to the stupid bloody wind wafting around like it's lunchtime or something outside).

Tip 227: if all else fails, there's always vodka.

Tip 228: tip 225 revised - never look up illnesses, diseases, syndromes or medical conditions of any type on the Internet. It'll only make you crazy (which you should also avoid researching).

#229 - Trust the media. They indeed do a bad job many a time.

# 230- If it looks really stupid as poetry, put music to it and sing it.

Tip 232- If someone you don't know comes up to you and greets you like a close friend, chances are they want you to give them money to buy alcohol, want to convert you to their religion, or want to sell you insurance.

Tip 233 - Don't get too riled up when you read the opinions of old British men concerning women; they don't seem to be aware of how irritating and insulting they're being.
