Thats so true man, the gut just drops when you see the lights, I hate that feeling. I got my first two speeding tickets in the same day… I’m still claiming entrapment on one of them haha but thats a story for another day

haha, indeed my man, indeed. that speeding one is the worst because it always gets you when you least expect it! haven’t gotten one in years, but that horrid feeling when those lights flash behind you is enough to prevent me from racing all over the place. and yeah, the money part sucks too.

Excellent, I agree, as long as you’re not pointing that finger at me I’m not an adviser, just the peanut gallery haha

Apart from the above mentioned another really stupid thing is to advise people when they don’t need it

Yeah, all those things will definitely cost you. I have to say that smoking is the stupidest one by far, as is drinking alcohol.

Yep, those will get ya, not to mention the health factor. As a parent, I make it a point to keep my 2 year old as far away from the candy as possible so she doesnt grab everything and as a result, I’m not tempted to get anything in that area.

Ever notice the brightest, most fun candy is always the closest to kids reach and the most expensive?

With impulse buying I always fall victim to getting a candy bar at the last minute before I checkout. Even though $.50 here and there won’t kill me, I would be much better off buying my candy in bulk (or cutting it out all together) and sticking to only what I have on my list.
