#10 Don't ever let your children download shit on your computer. It might destroy your overly expensive computer.

#9 Let your children download shit on your computer. It will probably cause a nasty virus that destroys the whole computer, but it will cure your addiction to the internet.

#8 Reading a really good book is way more satisfying than a night of sex with someone who really isn't meant for you.

#7 I am way too transfixed on my life as a teenager. I consider the 1980's to be the best times of my life. In retrospect and all honesty, it really wasn't all that great. Except for the awesome music and killer hair!

#6 You can pretty much cook anything in the microwave, but don't expect a lot of it to turn out good. I wish I had actually paid attention when my mother tried to teach me how to cook.

#5 Just because someone is an old friend, doesn't make them a good friend.

#4 Don't fuck with things that you don't know about.

#3 No matter how cool you think you are, you will always sound like a blithering idiot to you your children.

#2 Pick your battles.

#1 Never EVER engage in a relationship that begins online. :eek:
 
It's nice to see you again.

As for lesson #1, the real problem is relationships that end online.
 
10. Say it now cause there may not be a later.

9. Be kind and humane to animals. Let them enjoy life, too.

8. Youre the teacher kids pay attention to.

7. If you laugh about it years later, it wasn't abuse or a tragedy.

6. Most of what you learn you gotta unlearn.

5. Youll be much happier if you do what you was borned to be.

4. A womans love is brief.

3. Be who you are and youll attract your real admirers.

2. Our egos are boors.

1. The past is over.

True very true.

It's nice to see you as well, you have always been one of the best one's out there.

Not too sure about returning to this site, refer to lesson #5. :D

Love it!
 
Problem with lesson 1 is that a relationship can turn out pretty fucked up no matter where it starts.
 
#6 read sinny's posts. they are full of mom food love.
 
10) nothing is within your total control.
09) other's love or hate is usually conditional, treat them as such.
08) the past belongs where it is.
07) you can't fix another person.
06) you can fix yourself.
05) trust with both eyes open.
04) even the best thought through plans can go south.
03) enjoy happy accidents.
02) love like you want to be loved and the rest works itself out.
01) nothing is permanent.
 
Everyone is screwed up. Some who.appear really screwed up are actually the least screwed up.

It's hard to love anyone 24/7 x 52.
 
Good shoes are worth it. They don't have to be the most expensive, but they do have to be the ones that feel the best on your feet and will last.

Download porn, don't just watch it streaming on xhamster. You never know when your internet service might be disrupted or for how long.

Have a bug-out bag ready. I don't mean one of those stupid end of the world bags with MRE's and a swiss army knife. I mean a bag, tote, or whatever that's easy to grab that can hold everything you want to save in the event of a fire, flood, evacuation, or whatever. Pictures, keepsakes, jewelry, and things of that nature.

Listen to hypocrites, they know from experience.

Trust the expiration date on the milk carton.

Cut your own hair at least once.

You are not too good to flip burgers, work a gas station, or dig ditches. I don't care how many degrees you have. And the second you look down on anyone who does that type of work, you instantly become a walking piece of human garbage.

Also, just because someone gets dirty for a living, that doesn't mean they are stupid.

Never trust a woman. For anything.

Never go to a porn board looking for deep insights on life.

This is a damn good idea.

Possibly the least stupid post you've ever made.

You can make beef wellington in the microwave as long as you buy it already put together and frozen. :D Just don't expect it to taste that good.

Now see, I know of a few people who have met their mate online and it worked out just fine for them. It just wasn't something that worked out for me, and I never want to take the chance again.

Ohh...breakwall where did you go?

Fair enough!

#10 Most food tastes better slightly undercooked
#9 Most things work better when you try harder
#8 Get your own shit together before you start telling other people how to do it
#7 Find a great wife and grow up together
#6 Respect said wife
#5 Force your kids to make decisions and live with them at an early age
#4 Being a leader is more fun than just following
#3 Live your life with some intensity
#2 Treat others as individuals

#1 My Dad got a lot smarter as I got older
 
10- Life is too short to try and please everyone, so please yourself first.
9- Never be afraid to make yourself look silly in public.
8- Our technology today is limited, but books will allow you to travel anywhere in time and space.
7- When it comes to your hair color, Nature often gets it right. Trust your genetics.
6- It's okay to have physical flaws and character flaws. Be honest about both kinds.
5- Go to College. Even if you don't end up using your degree for your future career, the personal growth you can achieve through it is worth it.
4- Being geeky is okay. It means you don't have to be ashamed of what you like.
3- Never miss an opportunity to make others laugh.
2- Objects aren't people, and people aren't objects. Learn how to value both in their proper ways.
1- Being an adult is difficult, but being able to eat cake for breakfast makes up for it.
 


Who's counting?




10) Don't believe anything you read/hear on the Internet
9) Don't believe anything you read/hear on television
8) Don't believe anything you read/hear in the newspaper
7) Believe half of what you read in books
6) Schoolteachers know about mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, French, English, Spanish, Latin, engineering. Very few of them know anything about making a living, economics, investing or politics.
5) Much of life is a cosmic joke being played on you by an uncaring universe.





What me worry?

Satchel Paige's Rules For Right Living


  • Avoid fried foods which angry up the blood.
  • If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cooling thoughts.
  • Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move.
  • Go very lightly on the vices such as carrying on in society- the social ramble ain't restful.
  • Avoid running at all times.
  • Don't look back. Somethin' might be gaining on you.

10) Don't tempt the expiration on seafood.
9) Don't ever try and fight authority, circumvent it.
8) No flip flops at a metal concert.
7) Cast iron cookware, season it right and you will never buy another pan/skillet again, fuck non stick.
6) An oz of prevention is worth a pound of cure....wash your nasty ass hands.
5) If you NyQuil when you're supposed to DayQuil you're going to have a real bad time.
4) Don't get greedy....that's how you get caught.
3) Endure the pain and clean clean clean clean your wounds...even little scratches can kill you.
2) Always top off your fuel tank and fridge before anything else on pay day.
1) From condoms to kevlar.... wear your helmet.
 
I have just begun to live my own life so I have many lessons yet to learn. However, one lesson I have learned is to listen to my parents advice more yet the rebel in me still ignores them.

My kids always listen to my advice, then do the exact opposite.

Good parental advice should never be discounted, no matter how silly it may sound at the time it is given.

On a side note, I have read a few of your posts on this board, and am noticing a bit of a trend with you fixating on your age. Why is it so important to you that everyone knows that you are 18 years old? Is there a reason why we should care, other than knowing you are legally posting on this site?
