nicole's advice

i got all this advice from an email my dad's girlfriend sent to me.
 it says:
1.the journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
2.it's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steel your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. 
3.Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
4.If you think no one cares that you're alive, try missing a couple car payments.
5.if at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
 6.give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
7.If you lend some one $20 and never see them again it was probably worth it.
8.Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.
9.everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
10.the quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
11.a closed mouth gathers on foot.
12.never miss a good chance to shut up
13.never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative the same night.
