yet more unsolicited advice, by me

If you are a drama queen at heart, this will show up in just about everything you do. Everyone loves a little drama, but sometimes you need to rein it in just a bit. For instance, when writing your review of a grill that didn't entirely meet your high expectations you might think about how you start off your review.

Couldn't wait to receive this grill, have not had decent barbeque since my husband died. The first thing I tried was hotdogs.

Starting off a disgruntled product review by mentioning your dead spouse is not classy. Equating hot dogs to barbecue is also problematic. Combining these two things is a sure recipe for eye rolling and guaranteed to make sure no one takes your opinion seriously ever again.

I don't want to downplay the impact of a death in someone's life, but using it in cranky product reviews? Dude.
