Feeling overwhelmed? Stressed or anxious? Going through a really bad wave of depression? I've stumbled upon something that might help. Out of boredom I decided to start compiling a list of things I enjoy about life, and since then I haven't been able to stop. It actually really calms me down and helps me think about my situation and my life, and as the list keeps growing it makes me feel more confident that, hey, maybe life isn't so bad, if only for these little things :D

Depends on the nation, obviously.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Some excellent advice I have been given recently that I know you guys will find just as useful as I did.
  • Too many possessions can be more a hindrance than a help.
  • Careless running can leave a fellow out of breath and vulnerable.
  • When jumping down a ledge, judge well the distance.
  • If you lose your way, you need but consult your map.
  • If you're tired, rest.
  • Even in numbers, a weakling is a weakling still.
  • To relight a wet lantern, remove it, then withdraw it anew.
  • Crates may hold aught of use.
  • Be cautious when opening chests.
  • Even the same path can offer different views 'tween coming and going.
  • Take care when walking at the water's edge.
And of course:
  • Wolves hunt in packs.
Apathy is on the rise, but no-one cares.

Don't go without sugar for 40 days, then eat more dessert than dinner. You will feel sick. Quite sick.

Some proper advice.

To the younger UESPers, don't take any job for granted. Do not be afraid to do voluntary work and getting additional skills/qualifications will benefit you. Unemployment is utterly [&@%!]. Do not write off a job because it's not in your field. If it pays the bills and you believe you can do it, do so.


Back to gaming advice, when playing Dragon's Dogma:Dark Arisen, if you see a tall dude in a black robe, just run. You better run or he will [&@%!] you up! If you see a big [&@%!] wolf, run. In fact, don't do Dark Arisen until post dragon. Otherwise, you may as well play Dark Souls with a banana.

Never lick an irradiated lampost.

I probably have said this but will say it again, look in the reduced food sections. You will never know what you may get and there can be some utter bargains! Just because it's reached the best before date, doesn't mean that it is bad to eat it. It's the USE BY date that you need to worry about. The time tested nose and eye test works well. If it has mould, smells worse then *Insert foul smell here*, you better nuke it from orbit. If it smells and looks fine, it is ok to eat. With meat, be careful though. Milk, i find that it can last 3 days past the use by date.

If it's blue cheese, that is mouldy cheese and you should be ashamed of yourself.

If you ever want to add more credibility or weight to your argument/statement.. Just toss in a random key phrase like "Think of the children!" Or "People die when they are killed" to the end of your sentence, even if it's a null point
