#1 If bluetooths/wireless ear pieces still exist, keep people who wear them regularly at an arm's length.*

*In order to create some sort of Forever Dialogue with my kids, I will be compiling a list of rules that I have learned or am suggesting one ought to follow. The list will exist here because, well, because I tend to lose anything on paper.  Some will be serious, others smart, perhaps arbitrary and certainly somewhat funny.  The hope is that they will look back on this and gain some real insight regarding things I may forget to tell them in Real Time.  Or things that just don't come up - like bluetooths headsets, for instance.  Enjoy.
