Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

Way off topic, but...Living in Texas is terribly exciting sometimes. A couple of tornados have been making their way down the length of my town, but just on the edge of town for the last 45 minutes. Another one started to form a couple of miles away from my house. There are downed power lines all over town.
And where am I? Sitting in my office waiting for the weather to pass. Safest place to be really, there is a tunnel between the Courthouses so I'm only a few feet away from that.
And now we are looking at flash floods starting in the next 20 minutes. Nice.
I just hope there isn't any hail....I lost every window in my house to the last big hail storm.
Edit: The best bit was that I got a great compliment. One of the meanest Judges in the county saw me in the hall while the tornado sirens were blaring. She said, "Oh! Come stand by me. You are so mean that you'll scare the tornados away." How sweet is that?

Boring weather is better, really.There's a lot to be said for not having to worry about a major storm blowing trees down on you, ya know.

@LoonI guess, but a nice rousing storm with lots of thunder and lightning would be nice now and again. Can't remember the last time we had one.

^ ^Is that why you hang your hat in Tennessee?
And yes, boring weather is better.
The storm has passed but we are expecting another one that is rain only in another hour.

Tornados suckI used to live in Texas. I slept through a tornado that went behind my parents' house.
