..the more I realize that, a
Truefriends, like true Love, are like the "needle in the haystack".
That too many people are full of sh!t.
That some people expect'unconditional love', but aren't willing to return the favor.
That Less is More.
That money is good to have but, not the best to aquire.
That people who make Laziness a life style, reeeeeeally annoy me.
That people who say, "I swear..." may infact be lying.
That animals, are smarter than some folks I know.
That God has a weird sense of humor.
That God has Always been my constant.
That 'high maintenance' persons are, 'not all that'. (take away the props, and they're no better than anyonelse)
That Life gives you, for the most part, what you expect of it.

BornBronson · 07-21-2010, 09:18 PM

What's real and what's,well,BULLSHIT!.

What's worth fighting for and what's worth walking away from,if only to save your own sanity.

Life is sweet.Yeah right.

The older I get the more I realize...tis true...this too shall pass

Gentle Tiger · 07-23-2010, 09:08 PM

The older I get the more I realize that I, like life must move forward and not backwards. I cannot move forward if I am constantly looking backwards.

bigbutchmistie · 07-23-2010, 09:19 PM

That I will never sacrifice my old fashioned values and morals to date someone who doesnt have them .

That I will never regret the loves that Ive had. They have taught me what I want and desire from a partner

That life is short. Love the ones who matter forget about the ones who dont care about you.

If someone shows you who they really are believe them.

Watch someone's actions more than their words. Actions speak louder

Children keep me humble

Love deeply as well as intensely

Im a great catch and one day someone will realize it...

Gentle Tiger · 07-25-2010, 08:08 AM

The older I get the more I realize there's nothing new under the sun, no matter how it's wrapped.

Blade · 07-25-2010, 08:35 AM

the older I get the more I realize that summer seems much longer and much hotter than when I was a child and winter seems much colder and much quicker too.

AtlantaButch824 · 07-25-2010, 01:34 PM

I feel the same way. When I was growing up, you seldom heard of family members killing other family members. 911 was a huge wakeup call for me, that we no longer can take our freedom and security in this country for granted.

Nina · 07-25-2010, 02:09 PM

The older I get, the more I realize that Good things can happen unexpectedly, as well ! Nice.

miss entycing · 07-25-2010, 02:36 PM

the older I get, the more I realize........

my bitch switch trips way easier than it used too- I used to be 'the nice one'

that I really deserve far better than I allow myself.

that old school values are few and far between.

that its rare to have a true friendship that is always unconditional, and when trouble comes to a friend, thats NOT when the other jumps at the chance to cross a line! done-game over.

that I really do need to make some heavy changes- to hell with the price.

that it should never amaze me when people talk a good game, up till its time to back it.

blah blah blah
whatever.

Blaze · 07-25-2010, 02:44 PM

The older I get the more I realize:
Patience isn't a virtue, it's a learned talent.
Tolerance isn't a given, it's something you have to learn and practice.
Love isn't just an expression, it comes from deeper sources.
Sharing isn't expected, but should be taught that it is.
Compassion is harder to find now that socialism is so prevalent.
And long winded people like me, need to take a deep breath some times.

Blaze · 07-25-2010, 03:22 PM

You know your to dang old when your closet has more uniforms than a uniform shop!
And to top it off, you love having a uniform, it beats going shopping in a real mall....
Dang that's old...
Call the fashion police

that I can't drink like I used to - - - which was never very much.

morningstar55 · 07-26-2010, 08:32 AM

i know at my age im so set in my ways.......
is it possible to to have hot dates with no strings??
ha a girl has her needs ya know... its just at 55.. we are all set in our ways.. right?
Is it possible to find someone whom will except your habits, quirks, as much as you except theres??
is it possible to date someone steady but live in your own place alone with out wanting to move in with each other??

Nina · 07-26-2010, 08:39 AM

the older I get, the more I realize that getting older is the best thing that's ever happened to me...what a Liberation...the fact that I crack myself up doesn't hurt, either ;>

bigbutchmistie · 07-28-2010, 11:14 PM

The older I get the more I realize :

That all the career status, material things do not matter if you have no one to share them with.

asphaltcowboi · 07-29-2010, 03:42 AM

that history has a tendency to repeat its self.
when you lay down with someone your laying down with thier past. its best to except it as the past an move forward.
that alot of people will tell you what they think you want to hear and not the truth.
that alot of people will tell lies about others to make themselfs feel better and for no ther reason.
that people prey on the drama of a sad situation putting there 2 cents in then fixing the stoy to be more exciting then it really is.
that the longer i let my anger linger the more time im waisting on positive.
that there is always three stoyies to a break up his/butch side, her/femme side.. then theres the truth.
that i cant make myself love someone if it wasnt there.

Gemme · 07-30-2010, 02:50 AM
