What is something you have learned as you have matured?

[Runwildboys]

I do as well and here is rule #10 in my house. "If its yellow let it mellow". No Flushie,flushie every time.

Only during a power outage.

I stopped waiting for me to get smarter and decided I was going to have to make it with what I've got to work with.

There are three me's. There's the me I thought I was, there's the me that others think I am and there's the real me and I didn't really get to meet him until the last 10 years and I've been spending time getting to know him a little better and also learned I had to really and truly forgive him for trying to keep the real me from me. He was just protecting me.

That's not a realism about maturing but just about one person's journey through that. I discovered that I both liked and disliked myself too much at times and I only sought mirrors with favorable reflections when I should have looked through a cracked one many times.

And let me tell you something about maturing that's not kind, at least not to me. My penance is to share my mistakes and missed opportunities with others that they might not do the same. Even though, were a more mature person to have shared that with me when I was younger, I would have ignored them. It's crazy, isn't it? Handing out advice and observations that I would have ignored when I thought I knew more.

The saying is that youth is wasted on the young. Well, wisdom is wasted on the old. I sure could have used this when I was younger and thought I knew a hell of a lot more than I did. Paying more some mistakes can be a life long thing.

Don’t ride bicycles at night after drinking all day and I’m not really qualified to answer this question because I’m still waiting to mature.

Country music has changed and I actually listen to it now.

You mean tractor rap? The trash they play on the radio? No heart, no soul, elementary lyrics? No offense

There are some pretty good old school sounding guys that are becoming more popular now, it’s nice to hear the pedal steel again. Nathaniel Rateliffe, Sturgill Simpson, Allison Krauss keeping blue grass real, Chris Stapleton, etc.

Sturgill's latest album takes him out of the country conversation.......and I love it. Anyone going to see him tour that and hasn't listened is in for a shock. Ole Sturgill gone and created himself a whole new brand of music, which was exactly his idea.

our waste field doesn't drain well after hard rains so i had to adopt that rule or have it pumped about every 2 months. A new one is about 8000.00 for us and we would have to relocate our birds. Too much work.

Waste field? Is that the same as a leeching field?

Yep..different part of the country.

I don't want to live in either part of that country.

Sorry, we are cursed.

Doing something first and knowing you might have to ask for forgiveness later, is the same as knowing you are dominate over that person or what you are do is worth the risk.

You make the call. Either way.....it's lack of respect.

I think the leeching field is just a place to soak up extra water from the septic tank. You'd never even know it was there unless you dug there or drove over it.

I don't think feeling dominant has anything to do with it. If anything, I'd say the opposite is true. If you feel you have to do it because permission won't be granted, that seems like a submissive point of view.

If you ask for a favor instead of just telling some one to do something, they feel you are indebted to them and more likely to help.

try it..
