All good advice. PUT the GUN DOWN!!
Very good top ten list especially the last one.
Yvonne.
Very sound advice here for a Friday! Words to live by, for sure! :)
Hm, why do I get a sneaking suspicion that you speak from experience with some of these?
LOL! This is your best top ten yet!
LOL! Love it! 'Put the gun down' cracked me up.
Maybe keeping all of your clothes on is even better!
Yeesh, now I know why I've gotten into so much trouble in my life!!!
How fun.
Drunk, naked, and telling lies to your mother? Sounds like a Sex in the City episode.
#7 cracked me up. #1...is that doable?
Have a great weekend!
My friend is a cop and he always tells me, "Always go home before midnight. Nothing ever good happens after that." LOL
As always, a great list!
#1 is so true...Mom always knew when I tried.
LOL, I think "put the gun down" is my favorite LOL. Great list as always. Happy Friday and Weekend, Carol! :)
Oh, crap. I've done all of those. That explains a lot. :/
The truth!
Number seven is very important! :)
#7 - Before or after putting down the gun?
What fun.
#3 - and put down that cellphone.
#9 is very, very wise and I'd love to hear the story behind why #10 is there - unless uncle's wife is your mother's sister and therefore your mother will find out because they talk three times a day. Oh. I see.
All very good points for staying out of trouble. ANd I agree, never ever lie to your mom.
Delores - LOL!
Yvonne - That one got me in trouble more than once.
Elizabeth - We can try :)
Joanne - Almost all. Sadly.
Linda G - Thanks!
Lol! #2 is my fave. Those 4am nights back in the day almost killed me. Haha!
Ha! Never lie to your mother. You got that right.
Rula - I do live in Texas :)
Alex - Sometimes it is.
Linda K - Same here.
Julie - LOL. If only :)

This is great advice.
Wish I knew the stories behind some of these!
Jennifer - Sound like good advice to me!
Colette - Thanks.
Gail - Same here.
Julie - I don't think you're alone.

Funny. I agree with the first commenter. What did you do!?
Southpaw - Most of the time.
LR - It certainly could be.
Maryann - Not telling.
Elspeth - Ta Da!
Stephen - Smart man.
Writers are always getting into trouble with their characters, aren't they?
Tracy Jo - Yep, it happens :)
Anne - The results are no fun.
Michael - I wish I'd always listened.
Liza - My lips are zippered shut.
Clarissa - See above. Not telling.
Golden Eagle - Yes.
A good list to live by and an intriguing list for a story line. Have a great weekend.

Great advice. After watching the new Janet Evanovich/Stephanie Plum movie this evening, Put the gun down is appropriate.
Hola Carol, siempre es un grato placer leerte.
estaré de viaje por cuestiones de trabajo,
que tenas un feliz fin de semana.
un abrazo.
Mason - Hmmm...could make a good story :)
Donna - LOL!

Geez, I've broken so many of these rules. ; ) At least I haven't done #5.
This had me chuckling all the way through. And my mother always knows--no way I'd lie to her.
