Everyone knows young people won't take our advice, they're saying la la la la la I can't hear you.

I KNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, I have three tall sons who used to tip me off balance and get me to sit on the couch while saying "Quiet Woman!" to be funny. HMMM I had a very small window to work with. So the few thoughts I was able to stick in their heads had to be well thought out. A few sleepless nights later , I told them, "Look , we're very fertile and there's no money for bail." Other than that , I remember telling them to get as much as they could out of high school as it was free education and something that no one could ever take away from them.

Treat others as you would have them treat you.

And make the ones who treat you badly regret the shit out of it their entire lives.

Here's some sage advice from the old to the young.  Sniff, sniff. Beautiful.

[Karin M Fichtner]

Don't take old folks' advice all the time; sometimes we don't know what we're talking about.

[crestofwaves]

I was being ironic, Karin!

[Karin M Fichtner]

I know you were, Crest. I wasn't even thinking about your post when I wrote that. :-). No worries.
