Five Aphorisms

If we could read the minds of others, we would end up deaf

Future is unforeseen and inescapable

Old age  expels  the judgement

Intelligence and stupidity are often closely associated

Flashes of thought are expressed without thunder

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/15/2010 12:57:00 PM Hey, these are pretty good, particularly that first one. And the third is quite interesting! AS for my stepdad, well, I only wrote the good! Our family could be called the "dysfuntional Brady Brunch" There were MANY problems becuase my dad's kids were messed up from their mom abondoning them and it really caused friction between my mom and her new husband. However, we kids always had such good times together, so I just remember all the good times that make for pure nostaligia. LUv, andrea Login to Reply
