MONDAY'S MUNDANE TIPS

1. What do you do when you’ve fixed tacos for sonny boy’s lunch and you have a few shells left over and nachos sound good to you to have for your own lunch since he ate all of the taco filling? Just break up those leftover shells on a plate, sprinkle the Mexican blend cheese over the top and stick the plate-full in the micky. You’ll end up with the toughest, most tasteless mess you ever ate. So, don’t bother.

2. What do you do when you’re faced with life’s problems that have piled sky-high and you’ve cried your last tear over something trivial such as a stumped toe? Try screaming as loud as you can. You’ll relieve the tension but you’ll most likely temporarily ruin your throat and may run the chance of the neighbors complaining or calling the law. Dumb me; I did neither (cry or scream). Just take a Xanax.

3. What do you do when you’ve had a pick-up truck that you bought previously owned 8 years ago but had low mileage and you have put over 100,000 miles on it yourself and it doesn’t still run like it did 100,000 miles ago even with suggested maintenance? Well, it frequently won’t, will need many repairs along the line and nickel and dime you to death, so please refer to tip number 2.

4. What do you do when you’ve temporarily run out of money, tears, patience and more Monday’s Mundane Tips? You shut up and refer to tip number 2.
