1. Any card game is best played while drinking and in the presence of at least 3 other drunks.

2. There are things in this world that we humans can't and probably will never understand.

3. If you think it's broke, hit it with a hammer.

4. QUESTION EVERYTHING

5. Things are not ok, if there's smoke coming out of the engine.

6. Saying it doesn't make it true.

7. Out there somewhere, someone or something is watching

8. "There comes a time when every man must roll up his sleeves, raise the black flag, and begin slitting throats. (A quote I heard somewhere)

9. Friends are your worst enemy or your best allies.

10. Love is an illusion. It moves on for something better, leaving waste behind it. (Or at least that's my opinion. I know others will think otherwise.)

Lessons learned....

I can relate to a lot of them...numbers 3, 6, & 9 especially!

Yeah, me too. I just hate the lessons learned the hard way. After its all over you ask yourself how you could be that stupid.

Hopefully, though, they are lessons you only need to be taught once.....

Oh trust me. I only need once, well sometimes twice. There's one I should have learned from the first time. Oh well.





School of hard knocks.


Just thought of a number 11: Softballs, no matter the name, are not soft.

The golden rule for this site, and one of the codes I live by.



Did you get that from my when I said that?

Naw, I've said that for years. Just don't always follow it.

lol, ok.

Anyone ever realise how hard it is to follow your own advice?


I almost never follow mine. Maybe I should start listening.

easier said than done is the story of my life!!

Yep! I got a few others, but they're not really something I should put on this site

lol...little pitchers....

Here's something I've learned..Never take religious advice from a priest with an eye-patch and a hook for a hand..

I know that didn't have anything to do with anything, but I'm caught up between wondering what Pyxis doesn't want to tell us, and trying to say something relevant..So I just went with random..

I've learned it's really hard to rely on anyone. Ive learned that people are really too busy to stop and do anything but whats going on with them. Ive learned I have to be happy with doing my own thing.

Random is good. If you want to hear what I don't want to tell you have to ask nicely

No, if you are not drinking and they are? Ker ching!



Amen to that



Worked on my TV, what about my sister?



Why?



Steam trains



Does that mean you are lying? what a paradox!



That guy in the bush outside with the telescope



People like him shouldn't be allowed knives or forks



Worst enemy? please elaborate



No such thing as love

*bows*

I think I'm going to half way agree with you there. From what I've seen it's a when I feel like it kinda thing.

2. There are things in this world that we humans can't and probably will never understand.


So very true. Just hard for some to comprehend.

If that is what it is, it isn't love. Love is a verb, not a noun.

Something I've learned this year... knowing when (and when not to) hold a child's hand is the most important thing in parenting.

I'm not even sure I know what love feels like.


I got a number 12: Just when you think you've got all your ducks in a row, down go the duck blinds, and all your ducks get killed.

"I think I'm going to half way agree with you there. From what I've seen it's a when I feel like it kinda thing. "

I agree with that too..when someone feels like it or has time. when its good for them. im so bitter.

We should start a club. I got bitter written all over me.

interesting....

all the nasty nasty stuff in here just makes me want to quote a really bad line (delivered as advice - so it could be classified under the "learning" paradigm)

"never trust anything that bleeds for 7 days and does not die"



another lesson:
if you never had it, you will never miss it.

You know some guy said this to me once. Right after I cracked him in the head, I told him he'd better believe it.



This is very true. I think it's a good one.

the only reason i believe in love is because i have children.
having children will make you believe in love. i'd do anything for my two and they're both teen-agers!

Yeah a bitter club. Sounds good. Or the grumpy club. I dont know why everything is making me so mad lately.

Yeah I've had this thing with anger lately. It must be something in the water.
