I learned the reality of friendship; friends come and go in our everyday lives. Do not be sad when they leave us, instead we should continue on our lives..

I learned that a friend in need is a pest indeed.
Can drive you nuts with unrealistic demands on your time and overboard (unwarranted) emotional support.

I learned how to pull a tick off a feral cats neck today. It felt like a bath oil capsule and looked really ugly. I had to kill it with a shoe, gee there was a lot of blood. Poor kitty.

I learned that joining a local artists' group was probably a waste of money in the long run & was certainly a waste of a lot of time & gas today.

  I just relearned a lesson about this group, as they made me waste an hour's drive yesterday for nothing...
  This morning I learned that "bright & early at 7am" actually means "when I eventually roll up around 7:15" at our local auto repair shop.

  Wonder, if there is any thing that is constant, and yet living? No pun and no kidding. But, change is sometimes obvious and sometimes on-hold (from public display). Most of the time it is all about the Inner Net, as they say the great wise Buddha said.

I learned that no matter how we work hard and try our best for the things we wanted to happen, achieve and to be of success there are indeed persons and things that are not meant for us and beyond of our control.

Do people ever learn something 'old'? If not, then why say something like: ...learn something 'new' everyday. Anyway, If you want to learn, then learn. You have the internet!!! The largest collection of human knowledge ever put together, and at your fingertips. If there is anything you ever wanted to know, here it is. So you have excuse not to learn something everyday.

I learned...

Tis easier and less painful to just roll with it whilst falling ass over kettle down a hill

If hubby say's "I don't think you need a bananna split" - he's not thinking of my health, he's thinking of the cost of bigger pants.

If kiddo asks if you've got the cell phone bill yet - it's likely because he's wondering if he should run away from home now, or wait.

I learned that a lot of people get their jollies out of giving overly complicated answers (if you can call them answers) to simple, straight forward questions. To those people I say, "You know, it's okay to make a direct stand on something." I'm not sure whether people prefer taking the "gray area" direction in answering because it is safe or they believe it makes them seem more intellectual or what.
