CFS/FMS RULES OF ETIQUETTE
PERSONAL HYGIENE
1. Decisions about which body part to wash depend on which doctor
you're seeing today, i.e., face/ears for the ENT; feet for the
podiatrist; arms for blood tests; etc...
2. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days.
However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money.
3. Read labels carefully. Ever notice how much the can of room
freshener resembles the can of deodorant?
4. Remember to warn your spouse before kissing if you've just taken
your herbal remedies, since your breath now smells like grass.
IN THE KITCHEN
1. If you can't remember what it is you're cooking in the pot,
whatever it is, it can probably use more salt.
2. Do not toss that cold cup of coffee into the dryer or set the iron
in the refrigerator to cool off, no matter how good an idea it may
seem at the time.
3. When your husband tells you "Don't worry about dinner, just throw
some frozen chicken in the oven and forget it", DON'T forget it.
4. When everything INCLUDING the can opener is dirty, it may be time
to wash some dishes.
5. It's bad manners to fall asleep at the table, especially in the food.
6. If you're having a bad day, there's nothing better than pizza and quiet.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1. Always place a Post-It Note on the dashboard telling you where
you're going. And when you get there, place another on the dashboard
that says HOME.
2. Always carry an electronic homing device in your car and with you
so you can find your car in the parking lot.
TIPS FOR ALL OCCASIONS
1. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
2. If you take the dog for a walk, make sure he brings you back.
3. Nevermind about taking one day at a time. Just stick to one thing
at a time.
4. Try to spend at least 45 minutes each morning doing one get-up.
5. Work at learning something new every day, like sitting up, for
example...
6. Remember to breathe when napping. It's unnerving to wake up and
see vultures staring at you.
7. Learn to understand your "body language":
Joints - "I ache! It's going to rain!"
Stomach - "You're getting me upset!"
Nose - "Oh, oh, I'm getting a cold!"
Head - "Stop it, all of you! I'm getting a migraine!"

trust me! ;D
Knowing me, I'd find a car that looks similar and try and use my key on it. 
Hey, I've done that with my apartment and it DOESN'T MOVE! ;D 
Maybe you guys don't use rule in that way?
