"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana (1863 - 1952), The Life of Reason, Volume 1, 1905


Far too often valuable insights and lessons learned are soon forgotten.

<sigh>

If only we had a place...some kind of forum...to jot down these mis-steps so as to avoid repeating them.....




Note to self:

When 4 yr old is painting Mommy's present, spread newspaper *everywhere*...even in impossibly far and unlikely places.

(Also, perhaps Daddy should wear "Painting Clothes" too.)

one of those moments where it's really the thought that counts...or lack there of.

One of the most painful lessons...from my distant "beer-on-the-Wheaties" youth:

Note to self:
Don't iron nekkid.

Don't fry bacon naked.

Don't fry (period) in your birthday suit.

"Never trust a man in a blue trench coat,
Never drive a car when you're dead"

Never ever remember your ex girlfriend's phone number when you are drunk.

Don't tug on Superman's cape.
Don't spit into the wind.
Don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger.
And don't mess around with Jim.

Note to self: Never anger your parents or else you won't be able to log in to CB for a day or 2.

So-called "erasable" markers are only erasable on special surfaces.

Specifically, "special surfaces" do not include computers, monitors, walls, doors, clothing, towels, beds, bedsheets, or bedroom furniture.

A parental nap of approximately ten minutes is long enough for a motivated two-year-old to test each of the aforementioned items.
