Damn, he always cracked me up, and I really hated that some days-lol.

RIP Andy
I’ve learned…. That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
I’ve learned…. That when you’re in love, it shows.
I’ve learned…. That just one person saying to me, “You’ve made my day!” makes my day.
I’ve learned…. That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
I’ve learned…. That being kind is more important than being right.
I’ve learned…. That you should never say no to a gift from a child.
I’ve learned…. That I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.
I’ve learned…. That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with. I’ve learned…. That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
I’ve learned…. That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.
I’ve learned…. That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
I’ve learned…. That we should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.
I’ve learned…. That money doesn’t buy class.
I’ve learned…. That it’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.
I’ve learned… That under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
I’ve learned…. That the Lord didn’t do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?
I’ve learned…. That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.
I’ve learned…. That love, not time, heals all wounds.
I’ve learned…. That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.
I’ve learned…. That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.
I’ve learned…. That there’s nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breath on your cheeks.
I’ve learned…. That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.
I’ve learned…. That life is tough, but I’m tougher.
I’ve learned…. That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.
I’ve learned…. That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.
I’ve learned…. That I wish I could have told my Dad that I love him one more time before he passed away.
I’ve learned…. That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.
I’ve learned…. That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
I’ve learned…. That I can’t choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.
I’ve learned…. That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you’re hooked for life.
I’ve learned…. That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.
I’ve learned … That it is best to give advice in only two circumstances; when it is requested and when it is a life threatening situation.
I’ve learned…. That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

He could take a mundane aspect of life and make it seem more than important. He could turn the mundane into tremendous moral value.




HannahLynn -> RE: Andy Rooney passed away (11/5/2011 11:29:41 AM)

well that fucking sucks royally. the world needs more honest curmudgeons not less.

thanks for the good run there andy, you will be missed.




njlauren -> RE: Andy Rooney passed away (11/5/2011 1:48:26 PM)

Somehow it was fitting that he left 60 minutes a month ago, he literally lived his life to the end doing what he wanted to do, and that is really cool IMO. Kind of reminds me what someone wrote once, that when our time comes, we don't want to arrive wherever you go when you die all nice and pristine, you want to show up totally used up, more the worse for the wear, and say "man, what a great ride that was!"




DeviantlyD -> RE: Andy Rooney passed away (11/5/2011 2:49:46 PM)

I, like so many others, was so sad to hear that Andy Rooney had passed away. He was the best part of "60 Minutes". I loved that he always spoke his truth, but not in a mean-spirited way. I don't always watch "60 Minutes", but recently I did and there was no "and now a few minutes with Andy Rooney". I felt gypped! I didn't realize then that he had given his last commentary a couple of weeks earlier.

For those who might wish to view it, here it is.

Gee Andy, as cliche as it sounds, "60 Minutes" will not be the same without you. You will definitely be missed.




soul2share -> RE: Andy Rooney passed away (11/5/2011 5:51:59 PM)

He was the best part of 60 Minutes. I loved both him and Paul Harvey.......they had a way of making you look at things in a whole different light.

JAS that was awesome.

I loved Andy.  He enlightened us with his humor, wisdom and all around goodness.
