    You can get a girl pregnant even if you don't cum in her-my dad as he's grilling burgers.

    That was his sex talk with me. Nothing more. Nothing less.

    Had some trouble with a woman. Told my friend about it, an older guy. "All that is, is the hairy end of a gut, and don't you forget it, boy," he said. I don't know that it's the best advice I ever got, but it was memorable.

    On the last day of my freshman year of HS, when we all got our yearbooks, one of my classmates signed my yearbook "Dear (my name), don't die. From (his name)." Later that week he and his brother got into an argument with some other kids from the area at a gas station. They drove home and were followed by the other car of teens, which passed their house, turned around, and was heading past the house again on the way back to town when my classmate showed up at the end of his driveway with a shotgun from the house and unloaded on the car, killing one and putting another one in critical condition. The driver, who was my neighbor, had a bullet stop in the headrest 2 inches from his head. Pretty sage advice from a killer...

    "Calm down, things take time." - My dad

    This coming from a guy who lost his wife out of nowhere about 10 years ago.

    If you don't feel well/are in a bad place, just keep working through it, keep yourself occupied and things WILL turn around.

    No reason to dwell on the past. There's nothing you can do to change it.

    wish I had known your Dad before I bought the 19'checkmate and got married. I loved skiing on Erie but damn that was a hole that I kept throwing money in. The boat was costly too.
