It might be a different obstacle each time..you fix the step you keep falling up..and then the railing comes loose..once you secure that, your screen door falls off etc...seems we never go very long without some thing happening that gets our attention!

@Sharlee So all those things can be seen coming and dealt with before you fall over them, the wise learn from the mistakes of others, only fools learns learn from there own.

@LenHazell53 My take on it is only fools DON'T learn from their mistakes. And I prefer to make and learn from my own and not other peoples... I'm a participant in my life, not an observer.

@Sharlee Really? So you will not believe that fire burns unless it burns you? Tell you what, you make the silly mistakes, you get hurt, you possibly die and I'll avoid all that by observing the consequence of your arrogance, deal?

@LenHazell53 I don't believe a lot of things just because someone says they're true..the Bible, for example. Why you think that makes me arrogant baffles me. We differ, so what? I thought this forum was for exchanging ideas, not insults.
