Important to know

#1.   When swimming, hold your breath.
#2.   When baking never add too much flour or too much salt.
#3.   To tie your shoe:
 1.  cross both strings (this term is used liberally) and fold one string under the other. For me it is the right string.       
 2.  make a loop with the left string.
 3.  wrap the right string around the left string.            
 4.  Pull the right string through the hole below the loop created by the left string.
 5.  tighten the knot by evenly pulling on both resulting loops.
