Searched the archives for this topic, but no luck.

Please list your rules for living, as mentioned by Jimmy.

I know many of them are on your sig itself, but since he has so many quotes & great lines from songs, the question is,

"which one has the most meaning to you??"

Happy posting!

Unfortunately, most accurate would be "Over 40 Victim of Fate"

The best navigators don't know where they're going until they get there... and then they're still not sure.

I don't know, indecision may or may not be my problem.
