Judo's DTTPAY* thread

[Hoagy]

Just because your paranoid, doesn't mean their not out to get you....

[LARF]

...but if they are out to get you...

RUN!

RUN NOW!

Don't look back

Don't stop

just run as fast as you can.

They, are coming.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Hivemind. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice... now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked....You're not as fat as you imagine.

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.

Do one thing everyday that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind...the race is long, and  in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life...the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children,maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary...what ever you do, don't
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can...don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance...even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen...

[Jon]

Never, ever, ever, bloody anything, ever.

I'd like to flag this up as nasty.

Don't worry George. It's just a quote from cult comedy 'Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door'.

I thought it might raise a chuckle.

That's where it's from! Been bugging me all day.


Also, don't sit letting something bug you all day when you have immediate and easy access to Google.

[Modern Panther]

Everyone thinks that they are the reasonable one.

[von Boom]

Don't Panic.

[Judo]

if you have a real problem with a post pm a mod (sorry nowt I can do babes) but don't post a complaint here. but remember to put a DTTPAY quip even if you're chatting!!!

Don't let them know you're afraid! X

[Roger Godpleton]

Flagged for hectoring tone.

[Spaceghost]

The next time somebody asks you if you're a god, you say yes!

Oh, and take magic mushrooms with people you love at least once. If you do it right you'll expand your mind, see the world through a new pair of eyes and forever sweep back the curtain of bullshit, enabling yourself to see through the lies and see only beauty.

Either that or end up a paranoid vegetable.

[vzzbux]

Peace is a lie, there's only passion.
Through passion, you gain strength.
Through strength you gain power.
Through power, you gain victory.
Through victory, your chains are broken.

[TordelBack]

Either that or end up a paranoid vegetable.

Which was it for you, Lee?   

Obligatory Advisory Quip:

Get out of your bed, right foot, left foot moving.
Get out of your head, soon you'll be improving.

[JamesC]

Be excellent to each other...and party on dudes!

[Mudcrab]

Don't let the bastards grind you down!

[Modern Panther]

If you can't eat it, drink it, or mend your underpants with it, its not "Scotch ", it's "Scots".
