Has anybody else ever wished there was a book of operating instructions to life? I often have. I just don't have a clue sometimes.
For example, I wish I'd known when I met that cute guy when I was 19 that the fact that he passed out every night was not because he was tired, but because he was drunk, and that marrying him when I was 21 would screw up my life for so many years.
-
YES! I do too. Much of what I know I have learned from experience because there is no book for us.
Even if there were such a book, life would probably be different from the book, just like those books that tell you how to take care of babies.
-
i keep telling my wife that those books for babiy care is sheer hokkum.
people have been raising little brats for thousands of years without the aid of 'so called' experts.
i am on my second drink, now.

School of life. Sigh. It seems like learning that way sucks because if you screw up you don't get another chance. Life is just so complicated, I don't get why it's so hard for me. Is it AS? Some of you seem to have it together, what are your suggestions?
I'm on my second glass of wine, as well, to deal with the complexity.
-
third jack and diet.
wanna get a declining conversation started in chat?
imagine my boldifricity when i am drunk.
-
Oh yeah, the two of us getting drunk and chatting on the internet. Sounds divine. Sorry, but I have to...finish making dinner (tuna hotdish for my Minnesotan stud).
I agree with you about the baby books, BTW. You're on your third, you can write the book yourselves. I won't even look at books about teenagers cuz I know they'll be wrong or make me feel like I should have done something different 5 years ago and then I'll just feel more guilty and incompetent than I already do.
Don't you HATE it when people who don't have kids give you parenting advice??? Add that to my annoyance list.
-
triste, you should post a pic of your stud because i agree with you that he is a stud.
show off alittle.
-
I'd love to, but he'd be embarassed, and Peter would be jealous. Or turned on.
-
dont tell him
-
there IS such a book. it's the Bible. :angel:
or the Qu'ran.
or the Torah, Book of the Dead, Tain, Mabinogion, Rig Veda, etc., etc., i'm sure you get the picture.
of course, a far better one is h2g2, but then i would say that wouldn't i? ;)
best idea of all - write your own.
(i know what you mean, though - it's a bastard, ain't it?)
-
lucifer, i am drunk now, and i love you.
-
that's, erm... nice?
can't actually do anything about that right now, mcj, cos i'm off to work after a quick whizz round the board.
how's that for a stereotypical gender role swap? ;)
-
your da man! :o
-
/checks genitals...
only if i have a very, VERY small penis.
-
compelling image... ;)
-
of course, a far better one is h2g2, but then i would say that wouldn't i? ;)
What book is this? Is it yours???
-
I wrote my own operating manual.
-
care to share?

The late, great Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.... :laugh:

I have bits and pieces of it written out, and theyre all at home, but here is a little part of it.
1. Nothing matters except what people let matter.
2. Nobody really knows what they're doing more than anybody else.
3. Adults are all children at heart trying to survive hoping that nobody else realizes they are really just children at heart.
4. Humans are people who believe none of the previous 3 premises.
-
will you include:
you never know!

I can totally relate to Marvin, the depressed robot. So what can I learn from him???
-
1. don't let the robots of Krikkit steal your leg.
2. mattresses go "flump".
3. having a brain the size of a planet may lead to depression.
;)
oh, and read Dirk Gently.
