Lessons you learned the hard way?
 

As a child me and my cousin learned that Mineral Ice and/or Icy Hot should NOT be put on the face.

I have learned that if you leave cooked Ramen out on the stove top for a week or two it forms into one mass and smells just like vomit.

So what life lessons have you learned...the hard way?

If you've been cutting up jalepenos, don't scratch(an itch) yourself!:D

^^

That is a brilliant one...let me add a stitch...

Don't don't don't under any circumstances touch or go near your eyes after cutting up jalapenos or any form of chille :laugh:


And another:

When your old drunkard of an uncle tells you, "taste this" just don't.

Dont ever use A1 sauce after dad cooks a really good steak....:lol:

If you're a very picky eater and decided to take your own hamburger into a Chinese restaurant while the rest of your party eats Chinese Food. Make sure you don't glob on that yellow stuff like there's no tomorrow. It's generally not good ole' yellow mustard as some may think it is.

Don't stick you tongue on the frosty coils in an old refridgerator.

I FILL my pockets with that AWESOME hot mustard, when I eat Chinese, out. I make my own Chinese at home, and I NEED that hot mustard, baby! It ROCKS!

Yah I had an encounter like that once. Wasnt fun...

Well to elaborate on my lesson - I was probably 4 or 5 and to avoid a brat attack my mom just got me a hamburger before going to the Chinese restaurant. So I happily glopped on tons and tons of mustard..either the adults didn't notice or were as ignorant as I.

I bit into my burger and screamed bloody murder.

I was little and yet I still remember it so vividly. I have not gone near the stuff since :laugh:

Never date bartenders or musicians.

seriously. Don't you think that was a little too much info!? :laugh: ;)

See, you're the only one who knew what I was scratching!:thumbsup:

You've got a dirty mind(takes one, to know one!), KY girl!

I thought you were going to Homecoming.... Get outta town!

I TOLD you. But hey, I'm healed!!! Well, except that little mishap in the SYW thread re: John. :o And I AM heading out of town. I check the ledge/email etc. from my phone occasionally but it takes a helluva lot longer to type so I usually don't. But I just couldn't pass that up!!! :p

WHY they teach you with great emphasis while going to school to become a counselor NOT to counsel family or friends. :nod:

I also learned to recognize a true personality disorder in someone without a clinical diagnosis.... because they were considered a social "friend"!! :eek:

Don't ever date (or sleep with) anyone at work (that you have feelings about).... Extremely uncomfortable when you break up. And don't ever get your ex-bf a job at the same company where you and that guy works (while the ex-bf moves back in with you as "friends" - with benefits). Swear to God it happened.....

It was totally the Stevie(me)-Lindsey(Brian)-Mick(Darrin) Rumours tour situation (if Stevie had also been separated from a soon-to-be-ex-husband(Kevin)) at the time.

Yet, this was 10 years ago in my own life, and that seems like a breeze compared to now. Not relationship-wise, just life in general-wise... sometimes it's a b*tch....

I must sound like a total slut here, but I'm not, it was just really a complicated and difficult situation....for all of us....

and these are the days of our lives.....learned the hard way....

hmmm...

don't get acrylic nails for the hell of it (and to freak out all the patrons) and then think you can get them off the same day

sometimes the altoid trick doesn't feel good

don't try to shave in the dark or without a mirror

don't try to speed up a tan by tanning twice in one day

don't use lotion as lube

:distress: :laugh:

what's an "altoid trick?" :shrug:

Ah... Ninth definition from the top. :laugh: :lol: http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...m=altoid+trick

- Here's something I learned when I was about 10. Putting a hot pan on a vinyl covered seat is not a good idea. Doing so will result in a disgusting, orange circular mark that will piss your mother off.

I love Urban Dictionary.

Meeeee too. :) I pretty much swear by it.

and why not! it's full of thought-out, grammatically correct definitions that inspire us all to increase our vocabulary!

:laugh:

Trust your instincts. Most people are not your friends. Do not trust anyone who is trying to sell you something, or otherwise wants your money. They will do and/or say *anything* to part you from it.

LOL. did the mark come out?

bea arthur's making that face in my sig because someone just used the altoid trick on her.

which reminds me, i have to email you. :laugh:

I love Bea Arthur as much as the next guy.....buuuut I think I just threw up a little :p

She needs to take care of the stubble above her lip.

:shocked:

I'd never seen a pic closeup enough, to realize that she has a mustache!:D

OR Actors!!!

Honey..what is the altoid trick???

I feel tingly now...:shocked:

lol... No! Do you know how to remove burn marks? We just got rid of it a few years later when we got the kitchen re-done.

:lol: :lol: Bea Arthur and the altoid trick should never appear in the same sentence.

how true. how very true. :nod:

Don't try to lie to your mother cause she always finds out. I was 15 and thought I could keep it a secret that I was involved with someone 12 years older than me. What a dumbass I was:o
I think I lied so much to the point that I can't lie about anything to anyone. Which I think is a good thing.

never start making buckeyes at 8:00 pm. The peanut butter part has to sit in the fridge for 4 hours, so that puts you @ 12 before you can start dipping. *waiting.....*

i thought maybe you had some crazy canadian trick up your sleeve. :shrug: :laugh: like, on a full moon, have a gay mountie rub a beaver pelt ... on second thought, never mind ...

yeah, i actually horrified myself. and after that conversation we just had, i may have to change my sig. :lol:

lesson: don't do drugs

hard way: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...upgrill011.jpg

I posted the link because it is definately not for anyone with a weak stomach. And no-they are not mine.....

Only in Kentucky!










:lol: :lol: :lol:

You and your damned buckeyes! Will you NEVER learn?
:p :wavey: :lol:

yeah..well...wait until you see my buckeyes. I took a picture. :lol: (I had to document this rare occurence-me cooking...)

besides. my pregnant friend goes to cracker barrel and spends $5.00 a container. Now I have miiilllions!!!:lol:


I knew YOU would have some smart A$$ remark!!!:laugh: :wavey:
