Just love your collection today…and esp your late grandpa’s quote about getting to love what you do. (It’s actually all about moving to be independent and having control, I think! You may relate to this yourself.)

Anyway:

“Don’t obsess about whether you are happy in your life. These things are best left until you after you have passed.”

(You have related this indirectly concerning your late grandma. The thought, indirectly, has a long pedigree. (cf: King (as rich as) Croesus.)

"Don't make unnecessary crumbs"

Me to my children, circa 2005, but could apply to many people and not just in a food context.

Afraid I'm going to have to ask you to define "unnecessary". For instance, while eating a Crunchie.

That's the very definition of unnecessary. You have to master the bite and suck technique to hoover up the crumbs rather than waste the precious nectar :)

Yes, like don’t be too loquacious, esp with relative strangers!
