You forgot to mention........."Floss"

[Nick Grana]

That's life.
There are many changes one can make in their life. Some do and some don't.
Remember, one can only change oneself and not another.
Tomorrow may never come. This could be meant literally if it's over today.
The road to h-e-l-l is paved with good intentions.
Just act on some of those good things and life will be better.
Thanks.
Nick

Stupidity is sometimes in the eyes of the beholder.
Beyond some stupidity lies some truth. To know which is which is the tell.
