Things that you have learned this Past Year..

[DiO'Bolic]

Thank you! I have been meaning to remind my husband to get some sta- bil......I didn't empty all of the gas out of the mower like he wanted me to.

Just tilt it over and after the gas runs out, say oops.

Get the Sta-Bil 360, the regular Sta-Bil doesn't have the enzymes to break down the ethanol.

Thank you. I will write it down so I remember.

Just be sure to add StarTron or Sta-Bil 360 fuel additives to your gasoline for any gas power equipment with a small engine (snowblower, mower, tractor, trimmer, chain saw, wood chipper, etc). Ethanol is the number one reason for small engine damage and repairs, and the government has dictated up to 15% ethanol is added to gas these days. Those two additives prevent damage to small engines caused by ethanol. They are under $8 for a bottle and treat up to 50 gallons of gas.

Ethanol causes problems for small-engine tools - Chicago Tribune

I did put the Sta-Bil 360 in it, thanks for the heads-up though!

I learned that I should have stuck with my original plan to be a SPED teacher and not decided law was a better idea. Majoring in pol sci and history was fun... until I grew up and realized that manipulating people (which is all politics is) makes me sick to my stomach, mostly because it's so easy to do. Kids are a lot more fun!

Me too!!!! I just said this to a friend today - I wish I had been a special needs teacher or an occupational therapist. I've had the pleasure of watching those kids blossom under the right teacher and therapist and it must be so fulfilling and gratifying - just being around it was amazing. I didn't major in political science though. I was a a humanities building nerd. I wanted to be Indiana Jones.

One thing I learned this last year, well, toward the end of last year - Reiki. Started to learn it. Studying and practicing are a lifelong journey. Laugh if you will, but I've not slept better in years, and my peace of mind is vastly improved.

You can't trust anyone.

 

[Tery]

That no matter who it is that has died and people are grieving, someone will always come along and sh1t on them. Just to express their"opinion" you understand. Can nobody just scroll on by?

 

[swiftdog2.0]

That we are getting closer to Dystopia and that The Dead Zone, Fahrenheit 451, 1984, and The Running Man are oh, so prophetic.

 

[SusanNorton]

I learned that I'm going to be okay on my own.

Throw The Handmaid's Tale in there for a perfect pentagram of prophecy.

Bah, it's just the usual Naked Lunch around here. Everyone can see what's on the end of my fork, and it freaks me out! We've gone Beyond the Valley of the Dolls! If Soylent Green is people, I think I'll skip lunch. Check, please.

 

[Pucker]

The same thing I (and, hopefully, you) learn every year:

Actions have consequences.

 

[GNTLGNT]

...irony right there.....

 

[Saragirl]

I learned that I actually DO like sweet Italian sausage (a little bit). Always re-try stuff!

[OldDarth]

I learned once again - thanks to the recent US election - that fact will always trump fiction. Move over Greg Stilson, you presidential pretender wannabe!
