* Never marry a man you wouldn't want to be divorced from

* If the shoe doesn't fit in the shoe store, it's never going to fit

* When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you

* Anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of thirty-five you will be nostalgic for by the age of forty-five

* The empty nest is underrated

* If only one third of your clothes are mistakes, you're ahead of the game
