I do both...I just choose to ignore my own advice.

Empathy is a bitch.

Lets see...proverbs....

Well, practice what you preach obviously does not work.

A rolling stone gathers no moss? Naaa

I know...

Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining!!

I think we all do this.Say words of encouragement ,hope etc....yet sometimes don't feel them for ourselves.

Maybe we say these things to our DS family....because we feel we can't say them to ourselves.And in saying them to our DS family...we ARE in fact,saying them to ourselves.

Did that make sence?

Judge Judy is going to have a fit!

My wife says you sort out everyone elses probs why not your own. Physician heal thyself

Can't see the forest ,for the trees?

I don't listen to the advice I give. I wish I can use it now.

Speak softly..and carry a BIG stick?

White man speak with forked tongue.

That really can't be Donalds hair?

Isn't there some old saying about an excellent mechanics car being in the worst condition, too busy fixing everybody elses problems with theirs.

The cobblers children have no shoes.

I think we do this b/c we know how they feel, and everyone on here is basically in the same shoes as us so we pass down advise we would want to here--- or the truth we don't want to hear but need to----. although we may say this and don't follow it, we wish in some way we could follow it and by telling someone to make us feel like there maybe hope for us to do the same thing (but thats just my opionion) can you tell i'm manic look at me just babbling on and on....hpoefully i made sense because my brain is just flying faster than my fingers cantype

I think it is easier to work out other people's problems because you are looking in from outside and you don't have to deal with the consquences that they face. It is easy to be judgemental it goes hand in hand with self-rightousness that's why people love to gossip. It gives a sense of control to the person to see a problem and offer solutions. It is much harder to actually live the problem
