...and a lifetime to learn what NOT to say.
The older I get I forget more and more of those lessons.

Anyone else find themselves often in hot water due to this?

Members related warmly to the post about saying things they later regret, with many sharing a good laugh about how their mouths seem to move faster than their better judgment. Several members described living with this challenge daily, with one joking about needing a sprinkler system to remind them to listen more, and another wishing for the Golden Girls-style freedom to say whatever they want. A recurring theme was lighthearted self-awareness, with members finding humor and community in the shared experience of foot-in-mouth moments.

At an interview it was remarked "You have an irreverent sense of humour. Does it ever get you into trouble?"

I replied (truthfully) "Not as often as it has got me out of it."

Not anymore than I was before PD. I pretty much tell like I see it, although diplomatically usually🙂

I always try kindness but sometimes wish I could be like Sophia on the Golden Girls and declare that being over 80 entitles me to say whatever I want! I don’t but I can wish when I am in the company of certain difficult people!

I spend most of my life in hot water, so much so I'm thinking I should have a sprinkler system installed so every time I open my mouth it's squirts a bit of hot water on me to remind me I've got two ears and one mouth. 😵‍💫😆
