THE TEN TRUTHS OF LIFE
I HOLD THESE TEN TRUTHS
TO BE SELF EVIDENT AND
BEYOND BULLSHIT
We try to make sense of what our values and principles are and with every decade of our life they change or become modified to fit our lifestyle. Before we have children we live a spontaneous lifestyle but, once children are introduced into our lives we then become cloistered unsexed monks minding a mission for the young who, when they reach their teens, unite and become obstinate partisans against you and humanity over the age of 20. Sorry….this blog is not about teens or the similarities they have with mall zombies, but about what we learn about life. I have discovered in my 64 years of befuddled life that there are only a few absolutes. I have seen them tested over and over again and the final analysis never changes. Here are some Charlieisms that I’m leaving to my grandkids before Facebook teaches them right from wrong.
1st………Half the people you deal with are constantly screwing you over.2nd.…….The other half of the people you deal with are in line waiting their turn.
3rd…….People are either takers or givers. Those in the middle are on respirators.
4th.…….Sex can either destroy a career or make one
5th.…….Marriage is a formidable institution. Some feel safe and secure within, while others are climbing the walls.
6th……..We would give our lives for our children and our children keep testing that belief.
7th……..Love can heal all ills except bringing home the clap.
8th……..Women are not beautiful until plus size.
9th……..Men are not at their peak until they’re bald with a full gray beard. Dimples too.
10th……Happiness is the most expensive commodity in life, because you often pay such a high price for it.

#3 made me laugh one of those loud sarcastic laughs.
#6 made me think it might be good to be a cat, considering I have nine children.
Wonderful post!
Well sir, I don’t agree with all of your points….
But I do agree with more than a few.
So I`ll accept your friend request.
Humor and wisdom go together .
@Bricker59 - My thanks.
@WildWomanOfTheWest - #6 stands out the most for me.
@UncCharlie - #6 tempts me to move out to the middle of the NM desert and not give a forwarding address. Just some days~
Hah!
This makes me laugh!
Probably because I don’t have children
I don’t know about some of these, but there are a few which I think are good. I shall accept your request.
Look forward to seeing you around. Be sure to visit the cafe
superb
unfortunately i’ve had a teeny glimpse not too long ago of number 6
I can get on board with much of that. oh drat i guess i’ve the wrong genetics for the bald..oh drat drat , I may never peak.
Love these especially number 8 and 9, and hubby and I are proof of it.
@starmanjones - This means that when lesbians are fucking, you are not allowed to peak.
@opticalnoise - And because # 7 hasn’t happened to you yet.
@TheCrimesOfDougMoe - aught! the crimes of doug moe
