What I've Learned (house, the best, women, kids)

[carterstamp]

Looking back on my 65+ years on this earth, I've learned a few things.
1. Hot Dogs don't taste as good coming up as they do going down.
2. Size does not matter if she loves you.
3. Backwash doesn't matter if your sharing your last beer with a friend.
4. Treat your parents as if every day were their last day. It saves regrets.
5. If you believe in God, thank Him daily.
6. Cats don't like you.
7. Kids are a blessing, even though they drive you nuts.
8. There is nothing better than waking up next to the person you love.
9. Everyone is here temporarily. Make the best of the life you have.
10. Treat people kindly, even if they don't deserve it.
11. It could ALWAYS be worse.
12. Never wear a metal hat in a thunderstorm.
13. Sometimes the party is worth the hangover.
14. Rotate your shoes.
15. Don't sweat the small stuff...EVERYTHING is small stuff.

Now it's your turn, share what you've learned. And try to keep it civil.

I learned.. Something from this thread..

[Granny Sue]

In 50 years..

1. Following the Golden Rule and the 10 Commandments isn't as hard as one would think.
2. Judging others just ticks YOU off.
3. Having an open mind is good but it shouldn't be so open that nothing stays in.
4. Laughter is the best medicine
5. Whining is never fun to listen to....so just don't.
6. Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory
7. Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world
8. If you have to tell others of your good deeds, you didn't do it for the right reasons.
9. Life is not fair...Anyone who says it is, or even that it ought to be, is a fool or worse

And finally....

10. And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
