I learned that I'm a failure as a son. My mother was not happy to learn that I don't know how to build a wireless ethernet adapter. I've been a colossal waste of money.
That's the second person I've known most of my life to judge me inadequate this year.

today i learned that there's negative cleaner in the photolab. which would have been nice to know as the negatives i'm using to print have tiny specks of dust on them that canned air won't get off.

I've learned to change the ink cartridges in my printer, again after not doing it, for three years.

I realized that the LHC's name is suspiciously close to "Large Hardon Collider." :lol:

That the FG 42 was a real rifle, and not just something invented for Silent Storm as I'd thought.

I've learned to abandon my own hopes and dreams as, they're more than just memories like clouds moving across the sky...

To think twice, before I try to pull off an April Fool's joke, that goes against my spiritual beliefs.

I learned to never trust man who hijack my BlackBerry and refuses to communicate with me by normal means such as PM or email, instead preferring to use numerous identities to communicate assorted messages to me so he will not have to take responsibility for his own words. Is that calculating or what!?!

his own words. Is that calculating or what!?![/quote]


That's of a malignant nature which, I can say most sincerely...


Today I've learned that often my grammar skills are in need of refining as often is the case many people can't understand me or understand the posts I make at times..

I've learned that keeping your hair in braids for a couple of hours will result in nice waves later.

I've also learned that it's never a good idea to leave the keys in the car, even if you're just showing a potential buyer the trunk after a test drive. Pure class, stealing a dead grandmother's car.

That regular underwear with puppy pads are more comfortable, than Depends, and they work just as well, for my problem.
