Next Time (Lessons I've Learned)

April 11th 2007 02:41

Next time I am drinking scotch, I won’t imbibe as if “Oh no, I’m ok, I can drive.”

Next time I have $1000.00 in my wallet, I won’t treat it as if it is there to frivolously spend.

Next time I am frolicking in a clump of poison ivy, I will not pee as if the hand holding the penis is not covered with the poison of the ivy. Yikes!

Next time I am faced with a pretty and engaging woman who would like to flatter and spend time with me, I won’t flirt as if that is not a way of reciprocating interest.

Next time I have the opportunity of a teaching moment with my son, I won’t dominate as if I am the master of his domain.


Next time I am having a bowel movement in a public restroom, I won’t treat that well-seasoned toilet seat as if it has been properly and hygienically managed. (That was one sticky seat).

Next time I am engaging in a team sport, I won’t play as if I am the most important player there.

Next time I am learning the ways and means and protocols and practices of a new contract, I won’t assume that “it is all very much common sense.”


Have you learned your lessons?

Next time I be sure to do a 'sanity' check. Thanks, Nick.

Next time I think I have all the answers, I'll do a little more research...

Next time something sounds to good to be true?

I'll remember that it probably is... *lol*

Next time I feel unloved, unnaccepted, or unwanted, I'll remember that at least five people are thinking of me with good intentions and warm feelings...

I could go on... but I won't...

Great Post!

Lilla ...

PS you should always line the seat with paper anyway... reminds me of travels on foreign shores and strange toilet adventures .... ((hysterical giggles))
