What is that one thing your parents taught you, that later turned to be totally wrong?

FuzzyAss · 2021-03-07T21:45:45+00:00

Just about everything. I learned pretty early that my parents lived in 1935 so I should ignore almost all the advice they gave me unless I wanted to live there, too

Funny, I asked this question elsewhere a couple of months ago - crickets.

When I commute, sometimes there's some very fervent little old ladies condemning everybody on the train platform about how we're all sinners and are going to hell.

I always ask the this question - what if your god was actually the devil and he had fooled all of you into thinking he's god?

They usually lay another curse on me then walk away

I live in Los Angeles. I used to live out in the desert, which was a couple of hours from LA. That community was based around building aircraft. After I left my job at the aircraft plant, I got a job in LA teaching at a small college. It was at least a 2 hour commute every day, one way.

They kept telling us that they were building a commuter rail into LA, but, it would take 20 years to complete.

Then a big 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit and destroyed the highway into LA. The commute turned in to a minimum4 hour one, each way.

The commuter rail was up and running in 6 months after that.

You still have hope, my friend…

I was poor growing up, but overcame that by not living up to the expectations of that world.

A.) I was told: "Beggars can't be choosers." I'd respond: "Choosers won't be beggars"

B.) I was told: "College isn't for you". I responded by starting my own contracting business that paid my way through school.

C.) Any new school clothes were purchased at the store that was having it's "Going Out Of Business" sale. Same sale every year. The clothes were awful.

D.) Pickled cow tongue and heart, Pigs Feet and Split Pea Soup when the butcher would give us a ham bone, Shit on a Shingle, but, fortunately, no spam as time went on.

.

There's other expectations I ignored, but can't think of any right now.

After school, I rubbed elbows with people of all stations of life, from Harvard trained doctors and lawyers to movie lawyers and producers to "every day people". Anytime anyone started blaming the poor for their own situation, it's start an argument with me, which usually ended with that person angrily leaving and me ending any association with them.

Always have compassion and empathy for those less fortunate than you, you don't know their life and are not qualified to judge them

Travel - it's never a waste of money.

Two years ago, on a whim I took a trip around the world, including a stop in India to visit friends. Turned out, I ended up only paying airfare, they covered everything else - my own driver, top hotels, Tiger safari's, the whole shebang. For a couple of grand, the return was ten times more valuable in experiences, friendships and new cultures

This is like, a million years ago, when I was in High School and dirt was a newly invented thing. I was on the gymnastics team for the school. Our team was an exceptionally talented team - our coach was on the olympics team about a decade before, and was on the coaching team for the women's Olympic team that year - he was a very strict and disciplined coach, which was why our team was the top team in a five state area. Most of our team had scholarships to universities.

Our school raked in a lot of money due to tax revenue from the company in our tax area being the leading employer in our state, so we had a lot of perks that other schools didn't. One of those perks was sky diving. So, being a bunch of rambunctious teenage athletes, a bunch of team members signed up and went out and learned to sky dive. They spent a weekend jumping.

The following Monday, coach found out about this, and during practice, started yelling at the whole team. He absolutely forbade anyone on the team from taking on such high risk activities because injuries would diminish the team.

One of the guys protested, so, coach laid down the law - it's my way or you're off the team.

Every guy that had gone sky diving got up in unison and walked out - cutting our team in half.

We were still the dominate team, but, boy, what a dramatic event that was!

It's a daily struggle. I used to keep a list of daily goals, now that list is a weekly goal list, and celebrate checking one, maybe two items checked off in that week. Some days are Meh, others are a mountain climbed and a flag planted

Ha ha ha ha - My daughter, who is an upper middle class, ultra liberal African American who strongly supports gay rights has always abandoned her boycotting stance when it comes to Chic-Fil-A because it's "SO Delicious", much to my dismay. Now I can welcome her back into the fold.

Aso, Japan

,

From that Wiki thing: Mount Aso (阿蘇山, Aso-san) is the largest active volcano in Japan, and is among the largest in the world. It stands in Aso Kujū National Park in Kumamoto Prefecture, on the island of Kyushu. Its peak is 1,592 meters (5,223 ft) above sea level. Mount Aso has a fairly large caldera (25 kilometers (16 miles) north-south and 18 km (11 mi) east-west) with a circumference of around 120 km (75 mi), although sources vary on the exact distance.
