Not telling; but I'd advise you that posting threads about torturing cats on a public forum is extremely offensive and unwise. I'm surprised you're still here frankly, but I expect you won't be bothering us for too long.

I don't like cats, but found that thread sick, and felt it was unsuitable for children on what is a family forum - which is why I've reported it to the Mods.

So, the best piece of advice that I've had is one that I'd like to give to the OP..... "If you've nothing better to say, then stay quiet".

I wish I had listened to the valuable advice my father gave me when I was younger....

"be kind to cats and listen to joe!

Take care of the small things and the big things take care of themselves...

Surprised not to find it, but … never volunteer! It’s something not exactly told, you learn it very quickly in the armed forces.

Live on last weeks wages not next weeks!

You are the master/mistress of your own destiny

You are responsible for your own thoughts; nobody puts them there for you, not even the government.

And never eat anything bigger than your head :hihi:

I was on a training course years ago in Wakefield, and at lunch break, being a bit shy, I wandered off on my own to the nearest pub for a bite to eat and a half of bitter.....

An old Irishman got talking to me, we talked about my training course, he told me stuff about things he had done in his life, and before we parted he said ' be sure, in life, you never know whats around the corner' (The way he said it was in a very positive sort of way)
I never forgot that brief meeting, or that comment.

And it proved true in my life.

I'll pass it back on in my own way - be open to change - know when it's time to let go of something in your life to allow something else in ..... repeat as necessary as life goes on ....

You never know what's around the corner.....

Bugger, I sound like 'Patience Strong' that my mum used to read. Back to the getting older thread ->

"Be kind because everyone you'll ever meet is fighting a hard battle."

(Bob Dylan's Gran said that)

Never believe anything you read and only half of what you see

to "live strong" ironically enough...

It was from Suprasteve :D sorry for embarrassing you mate :hihi: :P

We were talking about me being sick and he told me the story about where he became paralysed and couldn't walk, but despite the fact he might not have got better, he kept joking and laughing, saying he would be walking within a week and despite the fact he might not have got better, he kept positive and he kept going and he got there :)

Best advice - stay positive

Take each days as it comes
Never P**S in to the wind :hihi:
Never eat yellow snow :hihi:

What goes around comes around.

Never do owt for nowt, unless tha does it for thi sen.

Never s**t in your own backyard.

Your only here once.

A lot of advice in one place...I've tried to follow it as best I can since I was 14 and my mom bought it for me on a little card for my purse. It's now on a poster in my classroom...

The Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

I love this writing so much absynthfairy and wish I'd discovered it earllier (2000). Had it read at our wedding. People cried!

I love it too Lizzmobile.... I got all excited when the head read it out at our school's celebration evening last year.... the kids thought I was wierd cos I knew all the words...

It's so profound, yet flexible. It leaves people to interpret it in their own way. Not to mention touching.

I think I'll learn it by heart too!

Never regrets things you have done - only things you haven't.

I love this, Absynthfairy. I think it's the most exquisitely beautiful piece of writing I've ever come across.

I would really credit it with helping me to see beyond the darkness when I was really depressed. In fact, I would recommend it to everyone suffering from depression. It offers Hope, and Hope is the most important thing of all when you're feeling despairing.

"With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world." It almost breaks my heart it's so poignant.

A beautiful poem, in fact prayer, and it's the truth.

Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.

Worry about the things you can change, then change them. Leave the things you can't change out of your mind.

It works WONDERS, let me tell you!

my friends father used to say "never trust a man with no arse" I still don't know what he meant

a couple of saying my granddad used to say. "take care of your teeth & you teeth will take care of you" and "you take care of the pennies & the pounds will take care of themself"

I always liked this bit from the Sunscreen song:

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday.

I always liked this bit from the Sunscreen song:

Trust no one...

People.... they never fail to let you down.

[QUOTE=SaxonLeigh]a couple of saying my granddad used to say. "take care of your teeth & you teeth will take care of you" QUOTE]

I heard something similar but it was about feet, not teeth. Perhaps you're supposed to look after your teeth with your feet? :huh:

'Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting an angry bull not to charge at you because you are a vegetarian.'

After getting into a bit of a tight spot in my younger days...my ex boss drove for 3 hours to come and rescue me late one night. When we arrived at his home he said to me " Every experience in life is a learning experience, be it good or bad.......now here's 300 francs, go out and have some fun, you look like you need it"

That was 15 years ago. I still remember it and I'm still in touch with him.

My other half keeps advising me not to turn my back on her.

best bit of advice came from my mum, it was....leave him, it wont get better love

Don't eat yellow snow!!!!!!
