Advice - From Me Now To Me Then

In two years’ time when you can vote And play the lottery, The winning numbers for that game Are nineteen, twenty-three… I wouldn’t bother dating Jo: You’ll find she’s got a name; And when her belly starts to rise, Of course you’ll get the blame. Ah, what's the point? You’ll make mistakes; I won’t change history: As if I did, you then could end, A worse off older me. 12/12/12 for David’s Hello/Goodbye contest

If only we could put an old head on young shoulders. It's so hard to be young and find what we do affects us the rest of our lives. Loved the wisdom in this Jack! L)

Yours was fantastic and you could also put some NEW advice into this one now, if you get my drift. Congrats on the list. I think nearly everyone who entered got a win! Forgot to mention in Hotmail, I hope you will post that poem you told me about. You might as well. Writing is good for the soul. Happy New year, my friend. I will get back to soup in the morning.

A crystal ball into the past to see it all again. To avoid the fall and make it last would really be quite Zen. Fun one jack. May this Christmas be all you ever told yourself it would be. :)
