Quote:Interesting topic you've got going on here.
I think I'm older than most of you here.

So much knowlege I can not fathom it all...

i always thought Austin was oldest. :lol:

Something I took a long time to learn: Don't count on someone and you'll never be disappointed

By the way, why is Afrika such an uppity nigger?

Gonzo, I usually charge for consulting on matters of aging and growing wiser. What are you willing to shell out?

I'll give you 1/2 of one year's salary when I reach your age (if you are still alive), if you just go away.

A shiny new status

and Prodigal Son, truest statement I seen in this post.

No you won't.

A new status, Whoopie :bouncer:

What you understand as you get older:

Don't sweat the small stuff. You can recover from almost everytrhing.

The older you get, the longer you try to hold onto your youth. It takes work.

The family you hate when yo're young, you will miss more than you know when they are gone.

If you were close to your dad, when they are gone it hurts every day.

You haven't enjoyed sex until you reach your 40's.

You will become less angry as you get older.

Young women want you in the worst way when your hair starts to turn grey.

You will never achieve everything.

Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Once they comprimise your trust, never give it back to them.

Laugh at everything or it will consume you.

I thought the topic title was what you'll understand, Not, what you'll believe.

I can't believe it, but I actually agree with what the old fucker said.

Plus, my grandfather died with a full head of gray hair. That means eventually I'll get more butt than ashtrays. :-D

Shit Kid, between the gray hair and the black man legend thing, you should be set.

I've learned that life, for the most part, is what you make of it. You change what you can and learn to deal with the things you can't. If you worry about everything, you'll go crazy. Sometimes it's best just to let go.

I've learned that people do change...to an extent.

I've learned that sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get something right.

I've learned that not everything your parents tell you is bullshit. Some of it even makes sense after awhile.

There's more, but that's all I can think of right now.

You are wise, old man.

You must have had a Hell of a nasty disposition in your youth, if this crabby incarnation of OAS is the Older and Mellower version.

I've learned you have to experience hunger to truly enjoy your meal.

I've learned that although it may seem like you can cover the sun with your thumb, it is still there.

I've learned that "because I said so" is a perfectly appropriate reason.

Only if you say "And that's the bottom line..." before it.

but I thought dating Alkey = the rock bottom
