good supplementary tool, if you can still get at least a semi, have reached the semi retired or an almost retired age, and want to continue abusing, something?

did that make sense??
WTF ..who cares ..

Dame Ednas, nearly 80 ys old, amazing, must be all the humour she projected.

Try to be a good person.
Be kind
Don't expect too much from people and you won't get disappointed.
Money is important, but living within your means and saving for a rainy day is better
Never let them see you sweat
When people show you who they are believe them
Always try to give people the benefit of the doubt if they are worth it
People can change if they want to
Give people a second chance if you can
Don't tell people what they don't want to hear
Lending money is a great way to lose a relationship
Pray or worry, but don't do both.
Accept the good and bad in people, and hopefully they will do the same for you.
Respect you parents if they have shown you respect and taught you love.
Don't hold a grudge
Health is wealth
Whenever you complain about something trivial remember there are babies starving in the world.
Life's what you make it.

I have worked and suffered and struggled my entire life to break out of show business.
It takes a long time to become a person, longer than I thought. I am grateful for my past because it has given me the present; I hope to do well by the future.
If you want to catch the wave that will change your life you have to swim outside your comfort zone.
Above all be the heroine or hero of your life not the victim.
(See current signature)
Don't take your family or friends for granted.
Take care of your teeth.
Clothes don't make you look fat; fat makes you look fat.
Don't be self conscious about skinny dipping or going to the nude beach.
If you think your life sucks do some volunteer work helping other people who may never have a life as nice as yours.
Don't cut or color your own hair.
Don't worry about what other people think about you unless they are paying your bills.
You can not make other people be more than they are.
If you don't vote you can't bitch about how badly the current administration is dealing with the issues.
... and wear sunscreen!

you can't control what other people think
we live in a mental world just as much as we do a physical one
hard work pays off
never trust your government

Here are some wise words from my favorite song writer, Mark Burgess of The Chameleons

------------------------------


It's like you fail to make the connection
You know how vital it is
Or when something slips through your fingers
You know how precious it is
Well you reach the point where you know
It's only your second skin

-----------


Slowly absorbed into my square
Debating what is and isn't there
Who cares.

You wait until your time comes round again

--------

And some they fly while others fall
And some they walk while others crawl
It stops them feeling small
That's all

--------------

Our conscience cries its sorrow
While we sleep
But once the morning comes
Out the back door
Silently it creeps
---------

And so I'll remember you,
I'll remember the days and the thousands of ways you pulled me through,
And dream of all the things you've seen,
Of all the faces and all of the places you have been,
Now you have no phone and you have no name and you have no number,
And it comes to an end in the blink of an eye and it makes me wonder...

-----------

Oh, when you think on it
We're all
Souls in isolation
Alive in here
I'm alive in here

------------

The storm comes
Or is it just another shower?

---------

Unchanged intoxicating youth
Such an endless feeling
Those days
Are softly stolen away
While your head is reeling

One chance is all you have
When it's gone
All you have is sorrow
One chance is all you have
Take it on
Like there's no tomorrow
Don't waste your time
Don't waste time

----------

And from day to day
And from hour to hour
I will be
Always in your power
Set my spirit free

-------

Hey!
Everything was clearer than today
You have to hang on to your childhood
Open your eyes
Or stay as you are my friend
You have to hang on
Hang on

----------

Here in this lullaby
We'll leave them all behind
Thoughtlessly wasting time
We'll be gone in the blink of an eye

------

It's alright
You're not the only one.

---------

This foolish world
Will hold you down
Screw your feet into the ground
But they can't take away the stars
Just like that night on the sands
I was there too
I held your hand

  • I have learned that time flies-by at supersonic speed
  • I only get this one chance to discover who I am and accept what I've made of myself
  • That my Life can be anything I wish it to be and is exactly what I've made it
  • Carpe Diem

1) That it isn't always fair ,but we are stuck with it (unless you want to check out early). 2) Be real careful who to trust. 3)Treat others as you wish to be treated. 4)Cherish your family and friends (including your pets) 5)Think about the effects you have on others .How do you want to be remembered ? As a miserable, abject asshole or someone about whom, fond,happy memories will long endure. 6)Don't laugh at the afflicted , as i did when i was young , you may get a dose of it yourself ,as i have now. I don't complain ,because i fucking deserve it . 7) To each their own , as long as it doesn't hurt /disadvantage some other poor bastard. THE END.

In every situation they'll get you coming and going ex: taxes, fees, extra fees, charges, and etc etc. Friends in school, work, and life mean nothing. The only true friends you'll ever have are the ones who are around in the end. Even then your perception of what a friend is and should be will never be obtained. It's not your fault for having high expectations its their fault for being shitty friends.
Your image, popularity, and being a part of the in crowd will not serve you well when those things fade away and you are all alone in your final days. The only saving grace if any is to be true to yourself and never ever change who you are for money, friends, to impress people, or to gain things mentioned above.

I'm still learning. Oh one last thing don't be an ass kisser or yes man because it may get you to a higher position or better job but the people you wrong or the bridges you burn getting there in the end isn't worth it.

Life sucks and isn't fair.
The one thing you need more than anything else is money.
You can never underestimate the cruelty/stupidity of the average person.
My three lessons.
This is what I, too, have learned.

You take the good you take the bad the take the rest and... well you know how the song goes. Seriously you only have one life so make the most of it. The only two things you can count on 100% are death and taxes.
... And this is how I've chosen to view & accept it.

a) The sky is blue.
b) The ocean is wet.
C) The desert is dry.

Everything else changes with each day.
