We have open letters, but there are times it's more of a "note to self" scenario. So I thought I'd give us a place to put them.
I'll start!
Note to Self:
Baking Powder and Baking Soda are not interchangeable. That is why there are 2--because they're completely different things. You actually know this. So why are you so surprised when your baking flops? ???

What. Oreos are a vital part of a balanced diet. See here:
wheat flour: GRAIN
palm oil: VEGETABLE
cocoa: LEGUME
sugar: ALSO VEGETABLE
vanilla: LEGUME
And now they've got peppermint oreos for Christmas. I'm pretty sure that adds a third vegetable.
eta: i just remembered that palm oil is actually 'palm fruit oil,' so it's not a vegetable, it's a fruit. OREOS ARE A COMPLETE FOOD.
Joshy, is this your ad?!

LMAO!!!! :-D That sounds about right for something I would do. :-D
NTS: adding saccharin ("Sweet & Low") to club soda yields.... flat soda.

Orange juice will do the same thing.
I guess that's why they make orangina... to save us the trouble.
Except those of us who are all "I'll do it myself!" and then get orange-water ._.
Note to self: STOP using the phrase "I owe you one" to Spanish people. They take it seriously and think that you do indeed owe them a favour. And they will hold you to it.
Note to self: It's okay to make mistakes, it's how we learn. Do not force yourself to eat it, it's horrible. Toss it. Seriously, the ingredients cost next to nothing. Better to toss it than choke it down and put on weight.
Note to self: You know you can't help a person who doesn't want to be helped, even if they say they do.
You can't give advice to a person either when what they want is to hear their own thoughts in your words.
Remember this.
Why would you want to hang onto a "friendship" that is based on constant validation of what you recognise to be disastrous decisions and destructive philosophies of life?
Let go. This "friendship" is taking up valuable space and energy, and your contribution is not appreciated.
Amen.
Note to Self: Please to remember your relative unimportance to the rest of the world, which is not panting to know what you think and feel every moment of the day.
This can actually be very freeing if you embrace it.
Live.
NTS: if you chew the edamame before you swallow it you won't choke on it....dumbass!
NTS: If you don't do your physio exercises you really can't bitch about the pain, now can you? I mean--you can, but you shouldn't.
Do them. Every day, twice a day if poss.
NTS: post more.
NTS: Do not eat a huuuge chunk of watermelon just before sitting down to watch a movie, unless you really enjoy running back and forth to pee every few minutes.
NTS: Read the instructions, don't just do what you think you remember, particularly when you have the instructions right there on the package. A sauce isn't a sauce without some kind of liquid.
NTS: You felt every vibration after abdominal surgury 2 months ago. Why did you think watching, not 1, but 2 Civil War reenactment battles, complete with cannons was a good idea? You understand what percussive vibrations can do to internal organs, Why are you supprized you hurt really bad right now?
NTS: the coffee will perk a lot faster if you push the "on" button......(duh).
Note to Self: Why waste your money on premade stuff when you know you can make better yourself for less money? Honestly--premade gazpacho? And it tastes like bread. You can hardly taste anything else.
Note to self: Make backup files of important stuff. You know this, why don't you bloody well do it?
Note to self: Get new glasses STAT.
