[RetroLounge]

what's the best piece of advice you could give me? or what is the best advice that you've ever been given?

also, if one needs more circumstantial info to answer, one just need ask.

7. Part your hair on the *other* side.

I've always liked this, too:

Motto to live by: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO HOO, what a ride!"

:D

[RetroLounge]

13. Love that motto!

:9

RL

[skooooo]

8. Exercise and fight weight gain.......

I'm in the same age bracket, and this is my #1 priority everyday -- well except when I allow myself the occasional treat and bout of laziness.

[trof]

9. Righty tightie, left loosie.

God, I wish somebody had told me that YEARS ago.

[RetroLounge]

15. OMG!

If only I knew that years ago...

:shrug:

RL

[Taverner]

10. From someone approaching 40...

Be


Just be

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Lose the cowboy jammies

:D

[RetroLounge]

16. Dude!

I've left one pair in Pittsburgh...

I need to keep the other pair for cold Wisconsin nights.

:hi:

RL

p.s. You really want a pair, don't you?

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Nah, but

I'd love some with bunnies on 'em. :)

[RoyGBiv]

17. Never ...

... no ...

Always check your references.

[Missy Vixen]

19. Remember that everyone works with everyone else

If you have one friend who's always there for you (and you for them,) you're the richest man in town. More than that? You have untold wealth.

Here's my last sage advice: Nothing is worth that hangover.

Julie

[RetroLounge]

20. "Nothing is worth that hangover."

Oh, I needed THAT advice in my 20's though I doubt I would have listened...

:hi:

RL

[lizziegrace]

21. Be careful what you wish for. n/t

[RetroLounge]

23. Because you just might get it?

hey!

:hi:

RL

[lizziegrace]

26. Yep

some of the worst decisions of my life were based on wishes.

hey!

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

32. Well, if wishes were horses

this beggar would ride...

RL

[kat_kringle]

22. yeehaw!

if you are ever in a situation where someone provides you with food, or anything of monetary value and you don't have any money, a high five is a good shoe in.

also, take time to deep breathe, and make sure it's from the diaphram (SP! i know...)!!!

[RetroLounge]

24. High 5's are good!

:hi:

RL

[u4ic]

25. If you fiddle the numbers,

you can be 40 the rest of your life. :D

[RetroLounge]

29. Oh, I don't mind getting older, really.

On second thought, can I be 30?

RL

[jobycom]

27. Don't die.

So one day you won't be in your 40s anymore.

[pokerfan]

28. Live, dammit!

Live! Every precious moment as if these are the last years of your life. Because in many ways... they are.

[Ahpook]

30. Well, you made it this far, and i think that is the break:)

Me and my brother joke about this often:)

You haven't been shot, no disease and something like a car crash didn't take you out yet:)


You are prime for a run to at least 80? :)

[RetroLounge]

34. Sounds good to me!

I'm in the home stretch!

:hi:

RL

[Ahpook]

37. Got quite a bit of work to do, don't you?:)

Long may you run:)

[Fire Walk With Me]

31. There's nothing a drink couldn't make worse.

:shrug:

Be well!

[RetroLounge]

33. Oh, that one I know!

Really well!

:hi:

RL

[Fire Walk With Me]

35. A reminder never hurts- may it never be an issue!

:hi:

[wain]

36. Believe that your life is not yet half over

There is an awful lot of time left to do what you really want to do in this one time around in life. In 10-15 years begin to think about how you can giveback to others. The 40+ years so far can be viewed as an investment, and most certainly as an education!

[Dangerously Amused]

38. Keep a death grip on your inner child, lol.

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

39. Oh, Hell Yeah!

Strangle the little fucker...

:hi:
