Mac's rules to live by (WIP)

Below is a rough list of rules that I try my best to live by, I don't always do so, because as I'm sure you have by now guessed, I am human, imperfect, and somewhat forgetful sometimes. Either way, I'm sure I will be editing or updating this list at some point in the future, and hey, this isn't exactly copyrighted so feel free to print this up and post it on the fridge for the whole family, just make sure you give credit where it's due, it's a small thing, but it matters, as it says on number 16...

Enjoy interwebs!
