Life is a Sh#t Sandwich . . . you can either eat it or starve. :eek: 

It's not the motto for my life, but sometimes it fits so perfectly. :lol:

I found myself saying this to my son many times while he was growing up.

[QUOTE=Kimmifunn]"It's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do."- Beau

You reminded me of another favourite of mine Miss Funn...

"It's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission."

That one can get you into a lot of trouble though... :rolling: 

Love the "s*** sandwich" one too... :floor:

Lots of great ones here!
