Avoiding reading crap that shows up on my news feed, like about a dozen stories about some kind of recent drama among youtube beauty bloggers.

Knowing both sides to an argument, especially when it concerns environmental matters.

[Floridaman999]

Knowing when to stay out of something because, when it all falls down, it's probably gonna be epic.

 

[quandrea]

My ability to cook, organise and entertain. I catered in university and those are skills I use every day and that I’m really, really good at.

Educating my three kids from K through 8 exclusively. My eldest is in high school now and I teach her part time now.

Talking to other people. For instance I had a co worker ask me earlier this week if he needed to dial area code when calling 911?
Younger people that cant tell time with a non digital clock.
Finally finding DIS boards before my upcoming trip.
And . Wait for it... Not getting arrested

I'm not sure. A lot of people these days think smart decisions are stupid.

 

[ronandannette]

Managing to live quietly and at peace with all people. It takes some doing, but it's worth it. The stupidity of the (largely) self-inflicted drama I see some others get up to is mind-boggling.
