Never give a dinner party using recipes that you have never tried out before on yourself.

Blanket rule for two year olds, teenagers and psych patients: Never Engage.

Not one of them is going to stop in the middle of an argument and say

"You know...I think you have a point (or might be right)"

But they will argue you to dust and it willl be difficult to tell from the outside who is who after awhile...

You can win but they usually hold a massive grudge or play the poor victim act to get others against you. Its a shame that this attitude prevails in the workplace as well, where I 100% believe in equality. If a woman is gonna get nasty with me, she gets it right back, whatever the results. Women....i CAN live without them...except my Ma of course. :D
You only live once.....so live!
