Labor Tip of the Day
When it's labor day, you can (and should) take a day off from tip-writing. Slacking. It's what our country was founded on™.
Spelling Tip of the Day
I have always had a hard time spelling the word "hors d'oeuvres," for the times I've sent out party invites. And it's a pain in the tush to try and find it on M-W.com. So here's a good way to remember how to spell it:
HORSE (but no"E") + DOE+ UVRAYS (But spelled like it's pronounced by Julie Andrews in the D0-Re-Mi song on the Sound of Music...UV UV+RE...silent H...S)
Then remember there's an apostrophe after "D." Or, if you took French (I did not), apparently "oeuvres" means "works," if you can remember that (I'm not putting money on it, because I just used freetranslation.com). Here's a fun article on food spellings.

"Listen to Your Heart" is by Roxette, not Tiffany. It's on their "Look Sharp" album.
If I can't trust your accuracy in eighties teenie-bopper iconography, what CAN I trust? Shambles. My life is in shambles. Thanks, guys.
You are officially hilarious. But, I will tell you that lowly 6th graders do not get your profound jokes. I started laughing and they asked me to tell them. I told them they wouldn't get it, but they persisted. Then, they all looked at me like I was crazy and went back to typing. Good story.
