Apparently, the NYPD has trouble with people not locking their doors. Obviously I don't have that problem, but I have encountered people who habitually leave their doors unlocked, which I find stunning. In one case, the person had some very intrusive neighbors who thought it was ok to just open the door and walk into the apartment when they wanted. I said "Lock your door!!" but my advice went unheeded.
NYPD even has a QUIZ! on when to lock your door! I took the quiz and the NYPD is very happy with me, apparently.
You can take the quiz too!
So, good advice #1: lock your door.

Back in 2009 when I went to London, I met up with the amazing and beautiful Soulbrush. We went on a ferry ride down the Thames, and we stopped to get tea from one of those outdoor food stands. (I loved that they had tea as a matter of course). When we finished our tea, Joss asked me if I needed the spoon. I said no. So she took it, saying that her husband, Neil, said "Always carry a spoon with you. You never know when you might need one."
Ironically, later that same evening in my hotel room I needed a spoon and there was none to be found. So I remember that advice every time I travel and am not staying with a friend- I always pack a spoon. And it has truly come in handy.
Good advice #2: always carry a spoon.
Have knife will travel.
ReplyDeleteHow did I get to the ripe old age of mumble-mumble without knowing this about the spoon?? Life changed!
