And please be serious, I didn't get home last weekend (had to work) and I'm working on a homemade card since, since it seems I've lost the one I had. I've been working so much, my brain is fried - and yes that! would be good advice, don't work till ur brain fries! (Though I would bet ya'll to it!) But I absolutely love my job!

6/17/2008 4:42:52 PM

dont get a credit card until you absolutely need one...use to piss me off but over the past few years of seeing people in bad debt i'm glad

6/17/2008 4:43:38 PM

never trust a big butt and a smile

6/17/2008 4:44:13 PM

That you'll never be taken seriously at anything if you can't spell, or write and speak horribly.

6/17/2008 4:44:32 PM

If you do that you'll go blind.

ok, for real....

You're reputation is the most important thing about you.

6/17/2008 4:55:40 PM

Keep it wrapped up

6/17/2008 5:19:47 PM

words have meaning.
use them wisely.
and for god's sake PROPERLY.

6/17/2008 5:20:45 PM

6/17/2008 5:21:23 PM

Get out of this town. Don't return.

"As long as you don't get arrested, end up hospitalized, or need extensive counseling when you get back from whatever it is you are going to do, go through with it. We won't care."

6/17/2008 7:00:32 PM

If it feels like 2 fingers it's probably a dick.

6/17/2008 7:01:45 PM

I remember some dude on here's mom told him "All girls are whores. You just have to make one your whore." That was good advice, especially from a mom.

6/17/2008 7:01:51 PM

marry rich and move far away....

haven't quite taken that advice yet though


oh wait you said be serious....this is chit chat though!

6/17/2008 7:42:50 PM

My old man told me that I could do whatever I wanted with my life, just ever expect to be taken seriously.

dont borrow, drive, use anything that you can't afford to replace

6/17/2008 10:22:57 PM

'keep your mouth shut and your hands to yourself, so there's almost no way you can get in trouble.'

usually it applied to my school years, but I've found it can be applied to a lot of things recently.

If it's really that important to you then keep fighting, but if it's not just move on.

my mom used to tell me the story about the street sweeper and the mayor

the mayor sees a street sweeper and he turns to his wife and says hey didn't you two used to date and the wife says yeah and you know what, if he'd married me you'd be a street sweeper and he'd be the mayor. the mayor shut the fuck up cause he knew she was right

i'm drunk but i think that's how it went

6/18/2008 12:24:00 AM

you must fucking suck at life

if writing a card for your parent(s) gives you a headache go ahead and off yourself

if you can't think of anything either your parents didn't give you good advice or you didn't take it

6/18/2008 12:28:44 AM

by the way that was not the best advice my parents ever gave me but it was the first thing i thought of

6/18/2008 12:31:37 AM

"don't live with your boyfriend. yet."

6/18/2008 12:44:35 AM

"Life's a bitch, and then you die."

6/18/2008 1:44:23 AM

oh i guess i'd have to say "if she has kids dont get with her"

6/18/2008 1:46:02 AM

"If you want serious answers, post in The Lounge." -- Mom

Seriously though, the best advice they ever gave me is get all agreements that you want to see followed through on in writing. That has helped my ass many times.

6/18/2008 2:31:20 AM

Stand up for yourself, learn something, and be safe.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Don't shit where you eat.

I'll never forget the day my mom looked at me and said, "Bassjunkie, you can find you a ho that you like, but you can't make a ho a housewife"

and also

"Never let fear stifle your ambitions"

haha i KNOW my parents would say this. but my parents moved in with eachother THREE DAYS AFTER THEY FUCKING MET (god love them)

so now they tell me...
you live once. sometimes you have to take chances and go with your instincts. you may be wrong, but usually mistakes are just the right choices made with the wrong people.

i love my mommy and daddy. they are firm believers that good intentions and genuinely being nice and forgiving are all you need.

god i love them.

Hypocrisy is the root of all evil.

Its one of my faves... my "don't do drugs speech" was more like dude.. i did drugs once... i don't anymore... wanna know why? it wasn't worth it.

6/18/2008 9:18:43 AM

My dad always talked about paying off your credit card every month. great advice.

But a deep sea captain once told a bunch of us in high school. "treat women like shit, they will always come back for more."

Still makes me laugh.
