Children:
Raise them to be people YOU want to hang out with!

Husbands:
3 is enough..JK Play fair, in the long run it will pay off.

Religion:
Each to their own or not..it's not My God can beat up your God.

Politics:
Are you kidding? They are all fish..after 3 days they stink!

Pride
Be your best at all times, but be aware that when you think you are all that..you fall on your face..

Knowledge:
Learning is never ending. But no matter how much you know, it's worthless if you don't pass it on! Teach a child to scrabble an egg or an adult how to read.

I couldn't have made it in life with out friends. I include each and everyone of you in that. I am truly honored.



What have you learned so far?
You can use my format or make up your own.

 

[Alatariel]

life is like riding a bike you fall off, get hurt, but always get back up and try again.
never work with children or animals when cameras are involved >< (bub started crawling 2 days ago... been trying to get a video of her... )
love is hard, some of the tests you go through are tuff. but if you can pull through that then you can go through anything.
love your kids, love yourself and love life.

 

[WomanOfHeart]

Grow up, but don't grow old. If you aren't having fun, then you're doing it wrong!

Learn about other cultures and countries. You'd be surprised what you'll learn about yourself.

 

[tmcase]

Life: It could be gone in a blink of an eye so enjoy it while you can.
Vaping: Can't get enough of it. Best thing since chocolate.
Children: Don't have any and don't want any.
Husbands: Don't have one and don't want one. Besides, all the goods guys are taken.
Animals: I love them. If you can, rescue one from a shelter. You'd be saving a life.
Religion: Touchy subject that I try to avoid.
Politics: Same as Religion.
Travel: Good way to see where you would like or not like to live. Also provides photo opportunities.
Environment: I do what I can to keep it clean but I can't change the world.
Health: I've learned that vaping is better for my health.
Pride: In measured amounts pride is a good thing. Too much pride can make you stubborn. (Still learning that one).
Knowledge: People will respect you more if you sound like you know what you are talking about. Read, read, read.
Friends: You can't have too many. Friends are your support group.
Whew! That was a long list. Now I need a beer.

 

[classwife]

Sharing is a wonderful feeling......

 

[Lisa66]

In Life: Expect to be surprised.

Vaping: It's (almost) all about finding the right juice.

Children: Ditto what tmcase said but I love other people's children and my relationships with them.

Husbands: They can be great company.

Animals: They can be great company.

Religion: Seems to be a good force for some people and provides hollow excuses for others.

Politics: Vote even if you think it won't make a difference.

Travel: With an open mind, it can change your life.

Environment: There are usually always ways of being less wasteful.

Health: We all take it far too much for granted.

Pride: It can be your worst enemy.

Knowledge: I'm not nearly as smart as I used to think I was!

Friends: Can't live without them.

If you haven't grown up by the time you're 30, you don't have to ever grow up

 

[classwife]

Big high 5 on that one !

 

[CES]

hehehe.


ok, a serious one-

loving is worth the potential of loss

 

[Ann_Marie]

Life: Gonna borrow from someone more eloquent than myself "The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." *Allan K. Chalmers
Vaping: Back ups need back ups too.
Children: Don't have them if you can't commit 120% of your time to them.
Husbands: Set the ground rules early - and don't change them every other second - consider it like training a puppy, you can't change the rules, they don't understand.
Animals: Set the ground rules early - and don't change them every other second - consider it like training a puppy, you can't change the rules, they don't understand.
Religion: I'll respect your choice / but in return I'd like to not be judged for mine.
Politics: I'll respect your choice / but in return I'd like to not be judged for mine.
Travel: Go EVERYWHERE - see EVERYTHING - but, when you go - experience the food of the culture, amazing how much of one's culture revolves around food
Environment: I live by the boyscout credo of "Zero impact camping" Leave it cleaner than you found it.
Health: Moderation
Pride: IMO - Prideful people have a tendency to think they can't learn more. I've found that you can learn things from everyone you meet - so shut-up and listen for a little while
Friends: Friends are the family you wish you were born into

WOW - good topic MK

 

[rainkeltoia]

In Life: Its too short to be miserable, or to deal with people who make you unhappy. Be kind to others but don't bend over backwards. Treat others as you'd like to be treated, online and off. Love whomever you love, and don't judge.

Vaping: Don't give up, try new things. Don't go back to analogs! Be willing to ask for help and never be ashamed to admit you don't know something. There's someone out there who will. Ask for 2nd, 3rd and more opinions. Get all the info you can before you start. And get as many backups as you can afford once you find the kit that works for you.

Children: Expect the unexpected. They are resilient. And they will come up with some crazy stuff! Learn to like Phineas and Ferb...

Husbands: Meh. Don't rush into it, don't get married for the wrong reasons... Don't put up with being abused. If you find a good partner, don't let go and don't give up.

Animals: They are work, but they are worth it. Make sure you know what you're getting into before you start... puppies are a lot of work no matter how cute they are. Adopt from a shelter. Spay and Neuter (Listen to Bob Barker and now Drew Carey).

Religion: Believe what you believe, don't force others, and don't judge others. You'll be a lot happier. Use your brain.

Politics: No comment.

Travel: Experience new things! Go new places! But try to learn the language or have a reliable translator with you if you go somewhere that isn't your native tongue!

Enviroment: Treat it good, we may not see the results of our stupidity, but our children will.

Health: Your body is what you make of it.

Pride: Be proud of what you can do, who you are, and don't apologize for it.

Knowledge: Share what's relevant, never stop learning, growing, and expanding. Don't be afraid of new ideas. Don't be afraid to question the status quo. ALWAYS ask why.

Friends: They are awesome. Don't waste your energy on the ones that bring you down. Be supportive of your true friends, and let them know what they mean to you.

One of my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite movies . . . . I try to live by this . .

"Get busy livin, or get busy dyin . . . ."




from Shawshank Redemption

[Lisa66]

Here's another quote I've never forgotten; not sure where it came from:

"It's better to be boldly decisive and be wrong than it is to agonize at great length and be right too late."

 

[classwife]

Life is so very short...

 

[tmcase]

If you have a dream, follow it. You don't want to be sitting in a rocking chair in a nursing home wondering about how it might have been if you had only had the courage to do it.

 

[Fudgey]

A wise man learns by the mistakes of others, a fool by his own.

 

[rainkeltoia]

without rain there can be no rainbows

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

In Life:
Living a happy life is truly the best and sweetest revenge.

Vaping:
Dear 18650/6ml Bottomfeeder, Where have you been all my life? I love you. Chelle

Children:
A. Must resist the urge to throw a bigger tantrum than the one my 2 year old is throwing. B. Breathe. C. Time out rocks.

Husbands:
I opted for a "wife"...and I can't really marry her in my state...God, I'm brilliant!

Animals:
Every stray you find, raise and/or foster DOES NOT HAVE TO STAY WITH YOU Anyone want a cat or three?

Religion:
So many mixed feelings. Not touching that one.

Politics:
No.

Travel:
Eh, can take it or leave it.

Enviroment:
I'm certainly more aware of it than I was a decade ago. Trying hard to do my part and treat it well.

Health:
Wish it were better...but I've learned to be thankful that I can even walk and that keeps me positive.


Pride
Most of my pride revolves around my brilliant 2 year old. And I'm ok with that.

Knowledge:
Always be open to it. Even if the topic isn't something you're extremely interested in. Knowledge is power.

Friends:
Quality over quantity. Always.

Remember the Past, live in the Present and have hope for the Future!

Jez, I wish you would talk to my boyfriend. He remembers the past, lives in the past and hopes the future will return to the past.
