LPT: For Americans DIYers….buy a tape measure that also has metric. After 20+ years of home improvement projects using standard measurements. I find the metric measurements a MILLION times more accurate and easier to remember. 4.7 cm is much less confusing than 1 and tad more than 13/16th.

LPT: Check on your friends who just had a baby. Ask if they need company, or anything, really. Keep calling them to social events, even if they are unable to attend for a good few months. Their routine has abruptly changed, hence most "friends" just vanish.

LPT: Don't marry someone until you have seen them in a state of deep upset and/or intoxication. Those two times are often when the worst sides of our personalities come out and how someone acts during those times is a good guide to how they will act/react when your marriage hits a rough patch.

LPT: The ‘Secret to gaining confidence’ is that you need to realise there isn’t one. You start by just faking it. If you and others can believe you have it often enough, you and others will begin to think of your positive attributes for why you should be confident, creating/boosting real confidence.
