[bannie]

So...what HAVE you learned in the last 25 years?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

If I'd have known i would have become so addicted to hating liberalism and modern democrat practices i could have kept drinking 25 years ago and would more than likely be oblivious to the world around me.

Thank God i quit drinking and bring on the Libs

[fatima]

Give us a hint-I hate this.

[Windsong]

That special forces guys are just like you and me..not supermen who speak 6 languages, leap tall buildings, made of diamond-fiber like skin, etc. Some smoke too much. Some drink too much beer. Some can't write/spell worth a damn.

Still, I'm glad that ours are better than *theirs*...over there.

"Actually we're not all that tough..its just that everybody else sucks"

[CindyDawg]

I've learned that it is better to have a sense of humor and see the funny side of stuff and that there is good in most people but with some you just have to look a little harder to find it.

Comment #40.

It was a reference to my next birthday.

I actually used to include that as part of my profile on another site, until I realized that it wasn't anyone's business.

But I am a matchmaker and have a 3 out of 3 score.Tell me what you want for Christmas.

[blondee123]

I've learned that family & friends are worth more than all the material things in the world!

That learning to live with what you can afford & being content with it, is better than wishing you had that mansion on the hill & always being disastisfied!

Lastly, that the political left is worse right now than it was 25 years ago or ever has been!

Ooops, one more, Dogs really are Mans Best Friend!

Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner. I have to be in Mpls for a couple of days this week for work, thought about going up a day early and going to the game, glad I didn't.

[Ronin]

It is possible to eat five jalapeno peppers in a row during a tequila party with friends -- but the worst is yet to come.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Good advice.

[AZ_Cowboy]

No matter how dumb an idea might be, someone is bound to support it.

Traditions are worth standing up for.

Never be ashamed of where you came from, as it makes you who you are whether you like it or not.

Be sure to spend time outside every day and count your blessings.

Stay away from the bottle as much as is humanly possible.

Never use your credentials as a club against another, because they are undoubtedly better at something than you are.

Always, always, have a backup plan.
