Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: Becca72 Date: 26 Dec 07 - 07:52 PM I learned that just when you think you can't take anymore the universe can give you the finger and dump some more crap on your head...but I'm still kicking and ready for 2008. |

Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: Bobert Date: 26 Dec 07 - 07:39 PM Shoot... I came into 2007 knowin' everything there is to know so, hey, I didn't learnt squat... (And then Bobert woke up...) Seriously, I learnt that after 3 years back in the construction business that when I get the projects I am involved with finished, I'm gonna find somethin' else to do... I learnt to play a cigar box geetar that ain't got but two dowel rods fir a neck and no frets... I re-learnt, as I do every year, that womenz is nuts... I learnt that inspite of Iran having quit tryin' to make a nuke that Bush still wants to bomb them... I should have suspected this but it's now in the "learnt" column... I re-learnt the happiness of havin' a new kitty... His name is Timmy... I learnt that the moon isn't made of cheeze... It's made of moon... I learnt a lot on new blues songs... I learnt where the the cops hide on Rt 340 and catch speeders... Fortunately fir me I wasn't speedin'... Unfortunately fir the guy who had passed me a mile back, he was... I un-learnt a couple things, too... Like, ahhhh, names of some folks I hadn't seen in awhile... Where I left my keys (un-learnt several times)... What key to play "Copperhead Road" in... And worst, my anniversary date which... ... has now been learnt back in me the hard and painfull way... And lastly, I learnt that 1 and 1 ain't two... It's... Eleven... Bobert |
Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 26 Dec 07 - 07:04 PM I learned a version of "Deep Elem Blues" in open D tuning. That's all. 360 days and one friggin' song is all I've got to show for it. |
Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: Bill D Date: 26 Dec 07 - 02:29 PM I've learned to enter '2007' when I write a check. I've also learned that 'most' people prefer to not change any settings or install any new programs on their computer unless driven by necessity....and then they often get someone to do it for them. |

From: skarpi Date: 26 Dec 07 - 11:03 AM I might not have tomorrow , what I have today I also learned that giving all to help someone you love deeply ( my doughter ) can take a toll from your soul and body . in one year we lost two persons that were very close to us thats why I said those words . all the best and god bless Skarpi Iceland |
Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: Megan L Date: 26 Dec 07 - 10:57 AM Hmmm what have I learned this year? Well when someone throws dung at you they are easy to find from the smell sticking to them, it might take others a while to figure it out but they do in the end. I learned that there are a lot of good folks around herewho can see through smoke. More power to them |

Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 26 Dec 07 - 09:29 AM I know a chap who was done for commenting to someone online that he'd managed to break the protection on some programme or other... he was tracked down and asked to show how he did it by some innocent sounding bloke, then immediately arrested for doing it. The innocent sounding bloke was an undercover cop who then passed the info on to the programme writers who incorporated it into the upgrade, making it damn nearly impossible to break the protection. They learn the hard way, but they learn! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: gnu Date: 26 Dec 07 - 09:19 AM Bonzo3legs... read up on tracking down people on the internut. I am sure the BBC has, which could mean spending some of 2008 in jail for posts like that. I learned a lot. But, it don't seem to make no nevermind. I keep screwing up. However, to that very end, I intend to make a New Years Resolution... a little less gnu and a little more Wildebeeste. |

Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 26 Dec 07 - 08:46 AM I guess I didn't learn not to respond to flaming idiots who post incendiary crap and provocational threads! :D LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: fat B****rd Date: 26 Dec 07 - 08:34 AM I've learned that the term "Mature Student" is an oxymoron. I've learned what an oxymoron is. I've learned to value my space and time with or without my wife. I've learned (again) that little children are del;ightful Jekyll and Hydes. I've learned that I should never stop learning. |

Subject: RE: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 26 Dec 07 - 08:13 AM I've learnt that what my doctor says is not always correct. I've also learnt that a lot of people are ungrateful, two-faced bastards but you still have to keep doing stuff for them. I suppose I already knew that, but sometimes it's useful to have these things reinforced. I learned I *CAN* finish sewing projects and have the framed evidence in front of me now. I learned some Danish language. LTS |

Subject: BS: What have I learnt in 2007? From: autolycus Date: 26 Dec 07 - 07:45 AM What have you learnt this year (or been reminded of)? i think I've started to take on board that I have things to offer; and that I've grown up a bit. And about how badly I read what others have written. And about how narrow the mainstream of society seems, to me. And that it's rather good to play thru a composer's work in a particular genre (after you've unwrapped the box, of course), and watch (sic) the development. Ivor |
