life teaches us lessons, whether we want them or not. we learn from our teachers, people's examples and of course, the most painful and effective way - through our mistakes.

i've often thought that if it was possible to gather the collective wisdom of people who have been through life, and share their most valuable lessons, it could very well save many of us a great deal of pain. Or at the very least, guide us in doing what we should be doing as opposed to what we should not.

If you have had a long life experience and the deep hindsight that goes with it, could you share with us what you learnt from life and what should matter most?

A grateful thank you from one who is still learning painfully!

Just saw the movie last night. The most disturbing part was the lady who was the Medical Director for that insurance company saying that she caused the death of so many people by denying claims based on technicalities etc...Shame......
No, i dont think Michael Moore showed the WHOLE truth about it all (like the high income tax rate of Canadians to pay for socilaized healthcare) but my goodness- we dump people who cannot pay hospital bills off on the street in front of homeless shelters on skid row?!?!?! .....And Prisoners of war- the same people who want all Americans dead (AND tried to kill a significant amount of us on 9/11)- are getting "top notch" medical treatment at Guatanamo Bay??? Thats just messed up! Your thoughts? Do you think we could ever have a National Health Care system? Also, as a Christian, do you think that Med Director is going to hell for denying claims and essentially letting those people she denied die???

I know I will never be slim as a model but I am working on keeping my weight down. I am 5'8" and I have dreamed of being a model in the past. My weight fluctuates a lot but I have been trying to maintain weightloss for the past year in a half or so. I always worry about gaining my weight back. I like to dress nice and model new clothes when I get them.

I have been married 4 years and we have been tough times financially and in-law problems but have managed to keep the marriage happy and healthy. We have two kids a girl and a boy. A few months back she started a new job downtown... everything was going well, she would go out for co-workers for drinks on Friday and so on. but lately she started going out twice a week and coming home in the morning. I did some checking and found out she was having an affair with a guy she works with. She still chases him and lies to me about it. She loves me but is not in love with me ( I feel the same way)and I know that this will happen again. I don't trust her.

I want a divorces but would be the first in my family of 45 marriages to get one. Her family is filled with divorce. Also I am broke and can't afford to live apart. I want my kids to grow up in a happy home so should I just let it go or end it???

I am in the middle of refinishing my kitchen cupboards, but am hoping to find something to do the top coat that's not so stinky (It's really hot outside right now...so I really don't want to have to keep the windows open when the sun is beating on the house!) And before you say anything...yup I should have thought about it before deciding to start refinishing my cupboards in the middle of summer.

3 years ago I got two goldfish, but last year one died. Do you think he's lonely and would like a little friend? I haven't got another goldfish yet because I kinda just thought they were reaching their life expectancy but I heard they can live for decades and this one's hung on for another year so I dunno why the other one died. The tank is big enough for up to 3 fish but I think I'd just get one if I do get another one.

Why resist, classify, analyse, believe?
What is better than just this?

Why not be here?

Hello! I may have a problem with water hammer or pockets of air or whatever in my plumbing system. In order to troubleshoot, I want to drain the water from the pipes for the whole house and then refill it. What should I do with the water in water heater and water softner? Do I drain the water heater and water softner? Just turn power off on my Kenmore water softner? or use bypass valve? Thanks for your time!

I live in Tennessee. I bought a nice lavender plant and it started dying a few days later. I tried planting it in the ground, and that didn't help. Then I tried replanted it back in the same pot I got it from and added some gravel to the bottom to help drain the soil, as per HGTV.com tips.
Should I water it daily? Every other day? Anything else I should try?

For those of you who have seen the movie "The Secret" and learned how to use the Law Of Attraction, I'd like to hear your stories and input on how it changed your life. I'm still working with it, so I need a little help from people who know it.

Thanks for your responses!

At least that's what i heard. Now,i didn't know they grew peanuts in the desert. Must be damned good to be worth the sacrifice of so many lives and money. I heard those peanuts are red. Must be stained in something.
