Anyway, I have a whole buncha new stuff to put up, so make sure you come back oft and tell everyone who cares that the site is finally working again.

Sunscreen........ by Suzanne Rushing
Ladies and gentelmen... wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own
meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; Oh nevermind, you will not
understand the power of beauty or youth until they have faded. But trust
me, in 20 years, you'll look back at the photos of yourself and recall
in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and
how fabulous you really looked...You're not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to
solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles
in
your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the
kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up with people
who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes
you're behind...the race is long, and in the end, it's only with
yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what to do with your life... the
most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do
with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still
don't.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't; maybe you'll have children, maybe
you won't; maybe you'll divorce at 40 maybe you'll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding
anniversary...whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or
berate yourself either- your choices are haof chance and so are
everybody
else's.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can...don't be afraid of it, or
what other people think of it;it's the greatest instrument you'll ever
own.
DANCE...even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for
good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few,you
should hold on. Work hard tobridge the gaps in geography or in lifestyle
because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when
you
were young.
Live in New York city once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that
when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and
children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might
run out.
Don't mess to much with your hair, or by the time it's 40, it will
look
85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply
it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the
past from disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and
recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.
