WHAT I'VE LEARNED... I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better have a big pecker or huge boobs.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.
I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and the less important ones just never go away.
I've learned to say "F--- 'em if they can't take a joke" in 6 languages.

I have learned a few things. Most noteable are.
The difference between inlaws and outlaws are that the outlaws are wanted.
The difference between terrorist and children is that you can negotiate with terrorist.
If you loan a friend 20 dollars and never see him again then that was the best 20 dollars you have ever spent.
Last but not least. It is no picnic being me. But at least I understand myself. Most of the time anyway.
