What's one piece of advice, that you think, should be passed on to every child?

The Golden Rule

Respect yourself, respect others.

If it doesn't feel right, don't do it.

(Almost) anything in moderation

Keep your sperm to yourself

Good survey, blondie!

You have to have kids to get that!

conversely, you have to get 'that' to have kids! I slay me.

Don't tease or bully. It will come back to you later. I guess that would be something like 'What comes around goes around.' or something.

On a slight tangent (about having "got some."): I friend once told me the "kids are the screwing ya get for the screwing ya got." Sometimes I think she was right. Most times I disagree, though...

You are funny. I love it when you say you slay you (try saying that three times drunk...)

That's a classic. Good one, penny.

> The Golden Rule


Is there actual wording to this Golden Rule. I keep hearing about it, but I don't think I've ever heard someone say "The Golden Rule is..."

To have a strong personality and don't be nice to people who try to fudge with your rights, under any circumstances.

Well, since I was teased really bad it stands out in the forefront of my mind.

I'm right in the thick of it with my daughters. They are 17, 15 and 12, and they are going to be wonderful adults. It's just that presently, they are on "let's piss my sisters off" mode, which sucks the energy out of me. Respect is a fundamental value with me, and it pains me to watch them act like this. It's like they want to be Paris Hilton, but I keep reminding them that Paris Hilton is a no-life, jaded, spoiled brat.

Tell them Paris Hilton is empty and has nothing to offer. That is how I feel about people who rely on their sexuality to keep any one's attention. They only do it because they know they have nothing more to offer. The kind of person I'm trying to describe, a perfect example is Paris Hilton.

Every child should be taught the difference between their ass...and a hole in the ground.

I do tell them that Paris Hilton is an empty shell, and they understand it, however they are hypnotized by her ability to get what she wants, when she wants it. I think the power that celebrity brings you is what enthralls teens most. What celebrities do with that power seems almost irrelevant.

To love yourself and always be true to who you are.

To treat a woman like a princess, except the evil one's

You should always beahve when out in public.

Treat other people the same as you want to be treated.

For chrissake don't follow in my footsteps! GO to school, get an education, no matter what. And be mindful how you treat people... but don't let them treat you like crap either!!

The 'Golden Rule' is what Pennyann pretty much said. "Do unto others as you would have them do to you."

Psst, what were you drinking?

Unfortunately that is the way it is with sisters. They probably all PMS at the same time too. When your first two leave home your third daughter should settle down. Sorry I can't be of more help or good news. My sister and I fought like Holyfield and Tyson often. Wasn't until she was out of high school that we were able to get along, and we did very well until recently.

What IS IT with Paris Hilton? Other than she has no modesty. She is not that pretty of a girl, and I don't think she is really all that sexy either.

Just be yourself

> To treat a woman like a princess, except the evil
> one's

sometimes the evil ones are the way they are because some man treated her like a princess, then when her knew he had her he treated her like chit.

> let them treat you like crap either!!

that is a good one!

The 17 year old is boss; she is expected to set an example. The 15 year old is stuck between a child and an adult, and the youngest is the baby no matter what she does. All three of them are in award stages in their lives. And all GIRLS, you poor man! They will probably grow up to be very close to each other but not before they drive daddy crazy.

Treat others like you want them to treat you. If they don't, don't take no crap and if need be take action.

You will never, *ever*, know everything. Never be complacent about what little you do know. Keep an open mind and never stop learning.

It depends on the context - I have plenty of good advice.

You just reminded me why I like you so much!

For young kids, sometimes, adults mess up.
For older kids and teenagers, you can and will get through hardship, no matter how bad it seems.

There are three pieces of advice that should, above all else, be passed on to every child. They are:

1. Don't trust "whitey"
2. The Lord loves a workin' man
3. See a doctor and get rid of it

Be perfect. -Coach Gary Gaines

Don't stick a butter knife in the toaster to get that bagel out. Seriously, don't.

To save money. Related to saving money is that if you get addicted to tobacco or some other kind of expensive drug, this is going to take a LOT out of what you might ordinarily be able to put away for more useful stuff, like buying a home.

Never be ashamed of what you believe.

don't eat yellow snow

Learn, study, understand....the Bible

Thanks.... my daughter likes to read, so I'm hoping to encourage that into a good education.

"If the snow is white, then it's alright.
It it's yellow or green, it's just not clean!"

-Koda from 'Brother Bear'

God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift and then what does he do? I swear, for his own amusement, his own private cosmic gag-reel he sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch but don't taste. Taste but don't swallow. And while you're jumping on one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughing his sick fudging ass off. He's a tightass. He's a sadist. He's an absentee-landlord! Worship that? Never!

Absentee landlord, I love that!

Never have children.

Be yourself.

> Good survey, blondie!

Thanks

Yeah, I've heard that one.

Was I that obvious?

So, I have about 10 years of this crap to put up with? Sheesh!

I think it's Paris Hilton's attitude that gets to teenage girls. Her "I'm rich and you have to work for a living, loser" routine is so incredibly disrespectful that she comes across like a jaded Marie-Antoinette stick figure. Marie-Antoinette ended up with her head in a guillotine; we can only hope that the guillotine makes a comeback so that Paris can be the first kid on her block to get one. Imagine THAT episode of the Simple Life...

So I'm looking at having a tight-knit trio, but only after I've lost my marbles... I should have had the vasectomy BEFORE I got kids...

> Is there actual wording to this Golden Rule. I keep hearing about

It's the do unto others etc rule

If you haven't already, you have to see Al Pachino chew the scenery with this monolouge from "The Devil's Advocate".

You said something in an earlier post about saying something three times while drunk or drinking. So yeah, that's pretty obvious. So what was it?

Figure things out for yourself.

I've never seen 'The Simple Life', but that would be an episode I'd make an effort to see!

Accepting that person he or she just as they are in this life whether or not that person is gay , transgendered or handicapped or a different race and teaching our children that hatred is very wrong' in the eyes of our Lord God

> To treat a woman like a princess, except the evil one's

I just love being treated like a Princess he opens the door for me and treats me like a lady, and helps me out when I need some help, and treats me out to some Fine Italian Restaurant the most expensive I feel like Martha Stewart fresh out of Prison he he

And no" I am not an evil woman"

I've seen it but it was a long time ago. Maybe I should watch it again.

Marie Antionette wasn't what a lot of people portray her to be. She was really only guilty of being married to the wrong family (she didn't pick her husband and was 14 when she married). She really had no business being in France (she was Austrian). Also, 'Let them eat cake.' is a myth. Ok, continue...

Treat others like you would like to be treated.. simple.

It's not about you.

Got it. I always thought that's the rule they (whoever "they" are) were referring to.

Thanks!

Red wine, but there's no way on earth - no way on earth - I mean no way on earth that I was even remotely drunk. You must've smelled it on my breath...

This is an exclusive bit of the script from the upcoming Simple Life guillotine episode.

Paris: "So, like, I have to stick my head in this hole?"
Guillotine Dude: "Uh, yeah..."
Paris: "This is retarded. Hey, why are you locking the neck brace thingy?"
GD: "So the blade will hit your neck just right."
Paris: "Okay, I'm bored now. Can you get me outta... (SCHLING!)"

...and suddenly, the world is a better place.

I'm not that well versed in the French Revolution. Thanks for clarifying this. Poor girl, wrong place, wrong time, wrong king.

Yeah, I have a thing for the history of monarchs. Love reading about them. I tend to focus on the poor women, like Marie here, and Mary Queen of Scots, poor Lady Jane Grey, etc.

I'm sure many of them were chained (metaphorically speaking) into loveless marriages. I understand that marriage back then was all about defending the class system, protecting bloodlines and creating strategic alliances; not exactly a great recipe for passion and romance.

Oooo, red... can't have that. Gives me ripper headaches. Even blushes kill me. But there are a few whites I really like.

BTW, who are the ladies in your avatar?

You can listen to advice, but you don't have to follow it.

? man haters?

did i say you were?

No not man haters, just woman who demand to be treated with the same respect a man would expect.

Chilled whites in the summertime are okay for me, but it's red otherwise.

I don't know who they are. Do you like them?

Well i found a cute lil woman and i noticed that as well

good for her!

she is everything i'm looking for but there is a couple of things to my disadvantage

Like what? If there are only a few things I'd say you defiantly found the right one.

The fact that i'm always on the road and so far away from here, like i have been through 6 states in the last 2 days, i want to stay home and spend evenings with her

You should find a local job driving a truck. I know a guy who drives a truck local and clams to make more money than when he did long halls.

That is my plan but i still have to get my expierence on paper to get a local job, i have a instructor's license which means i can train drivers to drive a truck, BUT i don't have expierence to drive a truck in town, i can drive a 80,000 pound vehicle from Los Angeles to Chicago in 2 days but i don't quote "lack the abilities to drive local" i was tempted to back my 53 foot trailer over the owners car to the place i applied to and say oops, my apologizes sir, that is right i don't have enough expierence to back up

> I don't know who they are. Do you like them?
Is this a trick question? They do have a nice shape, but I was checking out the thong panties they are wearing.... talk about butt floss! Wonder how much they cover 'up front'.

That makes no sense! If you can drive all over the US on dangerous high ways and through strange towns, then it makes prefect sense that you could safely drive in a town that you know like the back of your hand. Just keep trying something will come up.

> did i say you were?

Why of course you did

I don't know, but I could be convinced to hop a plane and find out... Mmmmmm!

Don't let anyone touch you and scream at the top of your lungs if they try to.

always trust your instincts.. not what you want and your thoughts but what you really feel

"You can do anything you want to". When talking about career choices, not about if they can have gum before bedtime.
I cannot remember how many times I got shot down by my parents and school counselors when discussing the 'what do you want to be when you grow up' gig. At the time small white girls were given 4 choices. That pisses me off. I became a rebel, and an unsuccesful one at that. They sucked all the drive out of me. So I did drugs and drank alot, that showed 'em!

Trust no one, but yourself?

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Wash your hands after you're done in the bathroom

Take the sweets from strangers.

Learn from every mistake, cause you WILL make plenty, trust me.
