7. The best came from.....
Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 12:09 PM by Hotler
an old journeyman ironworker I worked with when I was 16. When it comes to women, "one you turn down is one you never get". The worst came when I was learning to road race motorcycles. "When in doubt, gas it".

8. Best Advice: "Allen, Quit Smoking" and "Allen, Use A Condom"
Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 12:22 PM by arwalden
Worst Advice: "Don't leave me. If you leave, you'll never find what you're looking for and nobody will love you the way that I love you."

As it turns out... I use condoms, I quit smoking.

Regarding the bad advice... I stayed for a few years longer. I eventually left. And... I did find what I was looking for---and quite frankly, I wouldn't want anyone to be "loved" the way that he "loved" me (so that last warning/advice was moot)

9. Best and worst
Best, from one of my older sisters a few years ago: "if people don't like a charming, intelligent, attractive person such as yourself, screw 'em, who needs people with that little taste?" ;-)

Worst, from my father when I was 18 and quitting my job as a shipping clerk to look for something more challenging: "Don't quit, that's steady work!" Thanks for the vote of confidence, there, Pop. If I'd listened to him, I'd be a 44-year-old shipping clerk with varicose veins and no skills.

10. "Don't make yourself too available. He'll get bored and dump you."
From my mom. Best AND worst. And she was right.

I did, and so did he.

12. Best: Don't say anything, don't do anything, just walk out.
That has kept me out of so much trouble; oh the people I would have hurt, the terrible things I would have said otherwise...

Worst I took: "Come with us, we're only going to see a movie, and she wont be there." I did, we didn't and she was.x(

Glad I didn't take: Maryland is too far away(from MN). I love it here, and frankly sometimes it isn't far enough.

13. Best-Only believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.
Worst-I forgot it, it sucked.
