So true. The wrong women will destroy life. Destroy children, destroy finances ….
I’m sure women can say the same ….. if they are lesbians. Lol. I’m here all night.
You should hear what SHE has to say.
Speaker Jim Rohn said: Nobody says on their deathbed I wish I had spent more hours at the office.
Ha.
I am continually thankful there are people here who tell cornier jokes than I. 😁🌽
The hardest part is not to spoil the @@@@ out of her. She is near perfect. At 10 years old she comes up to hug and kiss me, I’m ready to give her all I have. She is the light of my life.
As I said, I am blessed and lucky.
No better time to have a kid than when you’re retired and can spend the time with them.
1. The mattress on my death bed is too firm. It's like lying on a board!
2. The mattress on my death bed is too soft. I feel like I'm sinking in quicksand!
3. The mechanism that raises the head of my bed no longer works. I should have had it looked into earlier.
4. All the numbers and words on the remote control for my adjustable bed are all worn off. I don't know how to shut off the annoying massage feature.
5. I shouldn't have kept the California King. The replacement sheets are too expensive and if I end up at the center of the bed it takes me forever to get to the edge and get up.
That’s true, which is why regret is not having found employment that optimizes my talents. Spending life doing mediocre work, when you might have done good work, is no way to live.
However, since I’m not family oriented, I would have had to spend my time somehow and I would have wanted to work where I could shine.
As my dad was dying in hospice he kept complaining about being uncomfortable and I couldn’t fix it. Too sad. But the worst was he wanted Pepsi, and when I brought it to him he did not have the strength to suck it up through the straw. I cried a lot.
Sad if we die with regrets.
Since my dear wife died in February, 2022 (we were in love from 1973 to then) I of course wish every minute I wasted could be back with her being happy again. Can’t happen. She’d probably have said “Can’t you go somewhere, you’re always under foot.” Maybe not.
I have so many regrets but try to remind myself we are not allowed on this earthly plane to have time travel and go back and make everything just right.
thanks =)
I used to play piano by ear, but now I use my hands
I think I will invent time travel. :)
This life is a practice run for eternity. Nothing that we accomplish or don’t accomplish means anything.
As long as you are learning lessons that you can use in eternity, it’s all for gain. I do keep that in mind.
Ha.
We’d better watch it. FR forum use is a privilege, not a right. Can’t let the humor sink us.😉
I spoil the @@@@ out of her. Figure I’ll probably not be here forever and it really can’t hurt, she’s got a good head on her shoulders so I’m really not too worried about it...
Some believe this life is to give us opportunities to do good (not necessarily meaning that good works earn us getting into heaven) and that we are presented with such chances every day. Sobering to think about.
Author and Philanthropist W. Clement Stone (started totally poor selling Detroit Times papers for pennies and died a multi billionaire insurance company owner) said: Do it now. If you even see a small thing you can do to help another or make them feel happier by saying something then do it now. You may not pass this way again and have the chance to do any good for another person.
He died at 100 and had contributed tens of millions of dollars to GOP campaigns, often sitting in the front row at the conventions.
I’d like to believe that many junkies, bums, and welfare queens regret that they did not work, provide for themselves, accomplish things, and live with purpose. In short thst they had spent much more time at the office.
Hard work is commendable. Obviously one can go too far.
Me and Frank Costanza have no problem with this.
I am definitely doing that, as much as I can. If you help somebody out, assuming they make your effort worthwhile, you will indirectly help innumerous numbers of people over time because your help circulates.
I work with elderly, dying people. None of these are ever mentioned. What I do know is all that remains are your children and family.
OK, maybe this one.
I’ve noticed Free Republic attracts many of the type of people who serve and give and do things for others. Military service and more.
I agree this circulates in ways no one can foresee.
