i just heard this and i thought i'd share. i have a quote in my signature. "you only regret the risks in life you DON'T take." i have a few regrets so far in life and they are all of me sitting on the sidelines too afraid to take a chance to fall flat on my face. life is too short. do waste it all on "common sense".

my sister's house burnt to the ground last night. everyone is safe. they got all the pets out too. but i cant help but think what if the worst would have happened... my sister, her family. gone. just like that.

what have i left unsaid? all of the arguments that seemed so important once upon a time...
i know im rambling and bouncing from thought to thought. sorry. just not myself today. my snakes and bp.net have been my distraction. well more of a place i can just be my weird self and not have to explain.

i could go on and on and on....blah blah blah. thanks for letting me get it off my chest


wow,

very sorry to hear about your sisters home. Glad everyone is alright. (and now in good spirits)
Stuff like this isnt easy to go through.

your wondering this now, and I can see why. I think its time to embrace everything about life and family. "Lifes to short" "you dont know what you have til its gone" speak to me here,

my advice, be strong for everyone. and dont take your family-or anyone for that matter- for granted. because you never know when the last time you see them will be.

-Ive been through stuff like this myself. and Ive come to realize these things.

take care of yourself and your family, if you need anything dont hesitate to let someone know.
