I've finally learned to balance my check book and that I am a poor judge of man-flesh.

I've learned that "land of the free and home of the brave" is a national delusion.

I've learned that socialism will not work, even if it's so-called conservatives pushing it.

Plastic drone reeds are more tolerant of changes in humidity than cane.

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

How to add twenty-five years to the current date.

I learned that:

Women expect that they can change the man they marry, but they can't....Men expect that the woman they marry will stay the same...but they don't.

I've learned that you can be good and you can be different....one doesn't exclude the other.

I've learned that I need lots of sleep to stay sane and can handle solitude better than most.

I've learned that acceptance is the key to inner peace because not everything wrong can be fixed.

Always make a list and determine which is a wanna and which is a gotta have. Often the gotta have list is really short.

You can move anything if you have a tarp, wood posts, a strong back and if all else fails, a relative that owes you a favor.

You can tell the most about a person's character by how they treat those that can do nothing for them.

Somethings you can blame on genetics, but you can only blame yourself for not trying to at least improve on them.

I've learned that some dragons are real, and they have to be fought with all weapons available....friends, Dr.s, meds and most off all, the will to triumph.

A girl can't have too many sequins, feather boas, tiaras, cute shoes, cans of paint, friends, cartons of ice cream, pets, flower beds, memories, african violets, dreams or corsets.

I learned not to pick Willis McGahee in the first round of a fantasy football draft (In defense, I did have the last pick of first round).

In the last seven years I have learned there are no limits on mans capacity for self delusion.

I've learned that the values of my grandparents were the right values. I've learned that you don't throw out ideas, people or possessions just because they are old, they're sure to bring you happiness if you'll just pay attention and they are probably better built. I've learned that in the world we live in it is vitally necessary to be street smart as well as book smart. I've learned that children learn from only ONE example, so you better be sure it's a good one. I've learned that I'm not so odd after all, there are a lot of people at a place called Free Republic that have many of my same values and concerns. I've learned that I was right all those years when I was suspicious of the MSM because all their stories and comments were exactly the same.

Four years ago, I found out that gasoline comes from oil.

Cut me some slack, nobody ever bothered to tell me that when I was growing up!!!

A friend of mine had a similarly embarrassing revelation around that same time when he realized that Ted Kennedy was the brother of John and Robert Kennedy.

I should have gone to college and if you get into a fight, get hurt, it looks better for your cause.

"What have I learned in the past 25 years?":

That half of the human beings on half of the earth are half crazy. I haven't discovered which half and where. I think we just all take turns. Maybe I'm half-crazy today, maybe not. If not today, then probably tomorrow.

That Chinese restaurants do exist. Actual sit & serve restaurants with menus, and not just buffets with deep-fried crap. (What a hick I am!)
