Hi Karen,
These are rules for everyone not just seniors. Though some seniors are more apt to forget them. I like rules one, three and seven. Some seniors can't take the stairs.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a nice day.

I had to read more of these. Your advice is priceless. Since I was stuck in an elevator at work, I always take the stairs. I also like the one about flushing, my toilet always needs to be flushed twice.

You went all the way back to the start. Thank you so much. My goal is 52. One for every week of the year. I have done 29 so far. Karen

Good rules but isn't a gallon 5 litres in Australian terms? That seems an awful lot to me.
If we all lived by a better moral code, the world would be a kinder, more welcoming place. Jacqueline

I trace the money centric life back to Reagan . He broke unions, and started the flood of money being the thing to take care of instead of people. Usery laws were toppled,
. Things to covet instead of experiences to be shared. Karen

Good writing and good advice! :) I love your sweet messages in all your posts. I believe everyone needs some encouragement along the way, especially about the toilet seat. LOL! Thanks for sharing your message here.
Sincerely,
Shana :)

Thanks for the read and the sweet comments. Pass along any nuggets of wisdom you have tucked away. Karen

You're welcome :) Here's one I have found out to be true as I move into my late 50's.
"Just because you can... doesn't always mean you should."
That can go with about anything general in life. LOL!

I will use that one! Thanks a bunch Karen

Good rules to live by. They make us feel better and get healthier, help the world, and make us a good example to others. Only hope no one needs to flush twice as it wastes water. Rule 3 needs a comma. The gallon of liquid a day is hard to do, but still good for me and you.

I will look at rule three, you have good eyes, no one else spotted it. I am aiming for at least 100 rules so if you have one or two you think need to be said, send them my way. Thanks for the help. Karen

This poem, The Rules of Life 1-12, works better as a public service announcement that passes on the amassed human knowledge that is doable by everyone.

Thanks for the read Mr. Bill. Karen

Thank you for sharing these life rules with us. Everybody should know them, but some may have forgotten. I enjoyed reading and can't wait to read more.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Some mighty good advice on your list of twelve, and I'm sure you could expand your list easily to 48 or even more if you want to. But even with handwritten directions, most dummies will mess it all us any way. Thanks for sharing.

This should be printed and posted on the door to every home, business, public forum. It's amazing how many people just don't get it. My mom used to tell me to make myself small. Don't jump into others spaces, way or business. Very helpful and wise. Gretchen

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Excellent points to live by. Well written.
I have a couple issues, though.
If your toilet needs flushed more than once, it may need adjusted. And concerning the commode, there is nothing between you and the sewers or septic system but about six inches of water. Put the lid down at the same time as the seat and 'everybody' gets to lower something every time.
Best wishes.

Well, I have a low-flow toilet. And, occasionally. I deliver concrete, which requires an additional flush. As for shutting the lid, I live alone, and I put Pinalen in the toilet to keep it clean and for the nice pine smell so I leave it open. Karen
