"I don't have to be good because they think I'm going to be good" - Richard P Feynman.

This line made me feel a million times better when I was in a very panicky and stressed out state of mind a couple of months or so back.

Boil rice for about 7 mins, then turn the heat off and let it sit in the water for 10 mins. Lovely fluffy rice.

I need to try this.

Give a girl at least one orgasm before beginning penetrative sex.

I cant actually feel much during sex if I orgasm before it.

Yeah... I'm awkward...

Reminds me of Hanlon's razor:

This one is good. Thanks Godot. I'm sorry I knew the principle but have heard it stated so well in just a sentence.

My beautiful wife gave me this advice when I was 19. I wanted a job I wasn't even remotely qualified to do and had to compete against about 600 other people to get the position.

"Don't be scared to try something in case you fail, not trying only guarantees failure."

I got the job.

I don't come here any more due to unfair moderation.

One of the best advise I ever heard was from my Dad when I was a very little girl,

"Failing isn't falling down. Failing is when you don't get back up again."

I've since learn that it is really a very ancient saying.

If at first you succeed...try something harder.

Failing isn't falling down. Failing is not getting back up again.

Just one or maybe two question.......

Did you fall down to get in that position?

Or did you lay down on purpose ?

If you laid down on purpose by all means stay there sleep is good in that case. If you fell down and you can't get up try not to fall a sleep contract emergency services before it's to late.

If at first you succeed...try something harder.

Failing isn't falling down. Failing is not getting back up again.

regarding people being different of faiths and practices that ull see debates from time to time which causes u to be uncomfortable and unsure. simply thing is.

embrace urself to the iron bar strongly fitted into ground while twister roaming around and pass u.

that mean you stand by ur faith, whatever it is, ur lifestyle, whatever it is, your knowledge, whatever it is etc and you dont let what others says bother u or the likes cos u trust that ur good cos ur with ur knowledge of whatever it is. that way ull feel less confused and fakeness and guilty etc. basically bad emotionals.

Time will heal the scar.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

This is hard. All I remember is the bad advice I listened to that caused me problems later.
