Here's what I think

**I think everyone needs to have a roommate so they can learn how to respect the space around them for other people.
**I think that if someone is rude and thoughtless towards me, then I don't have to like them anymore.
**We might have the freedom of speech, but we have a responsibility to act like a decent human being and not abuse that privilege.
**Educators are there to teach, not be a de facto parent.
**I really did learn a lot of what I need to know in kindergarten.
**Just because you spend a lot of money, doesn't mean you have any taste.
**My mom is my hero
**I miss living in Long Beach sometimes.
**Those who do not learn from the past are definitely doomed to repeat it.
**Old houses are the best houses.
**Close friends are a saving grace.
**Travel is its own form of education.
**Just because I have a different opinion, doesn't make me wrong; it just means I have a different viewpoint.
**Eureka is where my spirit can breathe.


Just some of the many tidbits I've been chewing on for awhile. What do you have thoughts on?

Amen to old houses, teachers, rudeness, and roommates.

I've been thinking a lot about things I used to believe were necessary or my right. Now I'm not so sure.

Amen, sistah! Except the Eureka thing. At least not for me. But I understand the sentiment. I feel that way about the Bay Area. (Mostly Dublin, Berkeley, Pleasant Hill, Morgan Hill... not so much Livermore ;-) )

Oops! Although Jake does really miss living in Long Beach too that was my comment not his.

I agree with you, although I would add that a few seconds of thought BEFORE speaking can save you hours of regret afterwards.
