How to wipe your ass-(sitting of course)

How to blow your nose-so you don't walk around with snot running out of your nose

How to sneeze-into your elbow, just like elmo

Always help old people & the handicapped or just anyone that needs help.

How to change your own oil, spark plugs & wires, thermostat, air filter, tire, etc... even if you're a girl.

How to use a hammer

How to patch a hole in the wall.

To not spend more money than what you have, except for buying a house but you still need to be able to afford the mortgage.

How to drive a stick.

How to ask for help.

How to read a map.

To hold doors open for people.

To be nice to people who work minimum wage jobs, it's hard to live on that kind of money, its no wonder they are so grouchy!

Do NOT ever steal from anyone, ever. Even if you're hungry.

Be the friend you wish you had.

Don't depend on material things or people to make you happy.

Be nice.

Pretend to walk in other peoples shoes before you judge them.

Apologize when you are wrong and really mean it.

Be honest.

Do the next right thing.

keep going....

Unless your kid is already old enough to do this or grows up to be a gear head any car they own will not likely be very user serviceable in regards to these items.

But I agree with the sentiment of basic maintenance.

How to look beyond what someone is wearing, how they have chosen to decorate their body, or the color of their skin.

The importance of forgiveness and the equal importance of not forgetting forgiven transgressions.

The value of a dollar.

What "a hard day's work" means.

Insane how many people my age and younger bitch about how hard their job is when they spend half the day on Facebook. Amazing how many kids I saw get cars as presents and then total them within a month, or their parents paid for college and they flunked out.

I'm sick of it. Fuggin' make you brat kids work for it. "You want a Gucci purse? Better check the Job ads." And it's okay if you want to help your kid pay for college so they don't start out in life buried in debt, but I seriously throw up in my mouth when I hear a parent say "Oh, I want don't want little Pfieffer to worry about money and work a job while he's studying. I want him to focus on his education while he's in school." Fug that! I started working 60 hours a week when I was 14, and worked 2 jobs to pay for college and a car.

You're not only turning your brat into walking weaksauce, you're fuggin' up our whole nation. Americans have become a culture of entitlement. I deserve this, I deserve that, and I'm gonna do nothing but piss and moan if I don't get it. No you fuggin' don't. You don't deserve a god damned thing in this life, except maybe an occasional beating. You earn it or you get nothing.

And that lesson starts at home.

I agree with CatPoop up there that said that kids need to learn how to get a job..my boss was bitching about how his 16 year old kid just got his license and his insurance was OMG IT'S SOOOO EXPENSIVE!!

when I said.."he could get a job and help pay for it"..my boss said, "oh no, my kids don't work"

this

and whats funny is I learned this the hard way.

I was spoonfed my whole life. My parents were avid fans of debt and big time spenders because we had money. I didnt learn how to work hard and I fuged around in school.

Now my Father is basically broke due to the recession and im going back to school while working trying to finally make my own career.

I'm 31 years old. If only I worked hard at school and in life when I was younger I wouldnt be in this predicament.

If only my father saved his money and invested it.

You live and you learn but it would have been better if I learned this poo at 16 and not in my 30s.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
