The relationship with my wife is far more important than bragging to a bunch of internet peeps about how many irks, fuko, fuku, bags of crap, boxes of crap I have managed to purchase. (Please help, she’s looking over my shoulder.)
Dogs never live long enough. Boys are harder to raise than girls. Games are only fun if you aren’t addicted to them. Collecting is the same as hoarding, except that it costs more. Don’t wait to travel. If you decide to stay home to raise children realize your world has irrevocably shrunk, or go back to work as soon as possible to open it back up.
Misread the assignment. These things I have learned.
I still haven’t learned to stop eating when I’m full. Even if there’s food still on the plate and people are starving all over the world, stop eating.
@milstarr Whether boys or girls are harder to raise depends a lot on the individuals… and a million other things.
My wife has a couple shirts she likes to wear, but this is one of them:
(but in a different color)
Ultimately, each kid is unique, and each parent’s idea of “harder” varies.
@xobzoo Really the shirt nails it. Harder to keep alive is not an exaggeration. Mine thinks he’s both immortal and made of rubber. Smh I do agree everyone’s mileage may vary on that point. But for me, boys are harder than girls.
I should only shop for stuff that I actually need, and never buy the first thing I find.
@werehatrack we immediately regret this thread.
@jouest @werehatrack
You’ve got yourself a real IRK of a thread!
How long do you have?
@sassymango yes
MEH, I’d say most of them I’ve yet to learn. But whose counting

@jaybird hi Mrs jaybird
@jaybird Hey, long time no see! Where have you been? (Is it working?)
How to say NO. I even bought a sweatshirt printed NO to remind me.
@speediedelivery what’s your favorite recent “no”?
@jouest No! I am not canceling my vacation! First day back today, darn it. Should have taken this week too.
@speediedelivery NICE
That not everything can be put off until tomorrow.
And that buying more stuff doesn’t actually make my life better …
I can eat and drink whatever I want without any repercussions.
@ACraigL deliciousness is a repercussion
Quantum Mechanics.
Also… Don’t stick things in my ears.
@OnionSoup we are also learning not to put things in your ears
How to fully be at peace with myself.
I should stop giving my money to Meh. They make it so much fun
@capguncowboy wait no
A great price on shit I don’t need is not a good deal…
Oh look, another $5 gizmo to throw in a box, clutter up my house, and eventually donate to goodwill unopened and unused…!
How to identify bad situations (e.g. managers) at work and leave before it destroys me and my health.

That when you find an IRK you forgot about a few years later, you still regret it.

Don’t spit into the wind.
(Literally within my life)
Pretty much all of them.
