When you're in a left turn lane, don't turn your wheel until you start moving. That way, if you're rear ended, you'll go forward, instead of into oncoming traffic.
Spread a sheet over your canoe, then shake the mayhaw tree. The berries will be easy to gather.
Control your temper.
Put the kindling on the bottom, then stack larger logs and sticks like a tent, to let in the oxygen and get the fire going.
Pinch the sides of the jaw, and slide the hook out gently, sort of wiggling it. That way, if the fish is underweight, he'll be fine when you throw him back.

It's okay to cry. Especially when you're singing.
Red and yellow, kill a fellow.
If you take crabs out of someone else's trap, re-bait it before you leave. Same with anyone's trout lines.
Snakes actually CAN bite while they're swimming.
Respect your parents.
Always be ready to pull another chair up to the table. Never be slow to show generosity.
This is about .5% of the total, but I'll keep working on it.
