The wisdom of Larry the cable guy.......

1. A day without sunshine is like night.

2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.

3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.

6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.

9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.

10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.

12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.

14. OK, so what's the speed of dark?

15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?

18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?

20. Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, "What the heck happened?"

22. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.

23. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

24. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your rear tomorrow!

Hey, mylife - I was joking!

I just got divorced from my American wife in January this year. She is a wonderful person, but her mom has been on her deathbed over 30 times in the past few years. She also loves her 'granbabies' very much.

I promised to ensure that she could go home once each year - with or without me....... I didn't, however, mean go home for nine months of each year and occasionally visit her husband!

My parents are both elderly. My dad's 88 and looked after my mother for almost two years for 21 hours per day after she became paralysed after a massive stroke back in 2004. My dad collapsed himself on New Year's Day 2006, and I'm doing my best to look after them in their lovely villa.

I don't want them to go into a nursing home while they both have quality of life here. It's my choice, but a relationship now would only complicate matters.......... so, for the time being at least, I am content to do my best for my parents, and just have a few friends i can chat to. So far I don't feel in any way resentful, if I did feel resentful I'd find a solution!

I do understand you point - it's a valid one!

cheers!

Robert

Thank you. I am NOT making some huge saccrifice.

I actually love my parents and I am also NOT a Mummy's boy....... I spent 90+ % of my adult life living thousands of miles away from my parents in different countries and it's nice to spend some time with them in their 'senior' years.

I'm glad I've had the opportunity to get to know both my parents bettwe - my dad was a work-aholic when I was a kid growing up. I used to think my mum was a little 'thick' when I was a kid although I loved her dearly; I've learned to appreciate and value her far more as a human being lately......... she stuck by my dad when he wasn't the easiest person to get on with when he was battling with his career.

Behind every great man there is usually the beneficial influence of at least one good woman.

cheers

Robert

applause So few men recognize that these days and unfortuneatly won't until they are in their forties! Hats off to you and I too, take care of my 89 yr old great aunt whom never had children of her own-refuse to send her to one of those understaffed, undercaring nursing homes-she was there for me when I needed her and now I am here for her and at times it does hurt the dating mode but if they can't give me time then they can move on!angel
