life is life
regards fraglerock

Frank, that is not a simile. You have to compare it would something else.

seriously though here is mine.

life is knowing how to bring up your children in
the very best possible way that you can

oops was the one above this wrong as well then???

Yes.

Life is like a fortune cookie...you can't see your fortune until you break it open..

life is like an armadillo
hard on the outside but soft on the inside hee hee hee

very good.

tee hee hee...you guys...:) ...shakes head and rolls eyes...

Life is like a box of chocolates...oh wait I think someone already said that.

Life is like a Woody Allen movie that goes on forever, doesn't always make sense, but works out OK in the end.

Let us hope so. Excellent image. I am just wondering which Woody Allen film. Manhattan?

Oh the possibilities.

"Life is like a male pubic hair. You seem to spend all your time hanging around with a dick, you are constantly bothered by some arsehole, everywhere you look it's pants, and if you ever get to the end of it all, or the bottom of things, you'll get shit on or pissed off as appropriate."

Nah, too pessimistic and crude. How about

"Life is like digital satellite TV. Everyone pretends they understand how it works, and that they only partake of the quality bits. They have more choices than they know what to do with, so keep taking the easy option. Someone else always seems to have the control, and while we all know there's a simple 'off' button, we're loathed to press it."

Still a bit grim. Maybe;

"Life is like a box of Lego. You'll start out with all the bits you need to build whats pictured on the box, but with a little imagination and persistence, you can create what you like. Within reason."

Number 1: obscene (and I am sure you know the root meaning).

Number 2: some of us gave up watching television years ago; but far too cynical anyhow.

Number 3: Spot on. there are givens but what one does with them is a matter of choice.

Life is like a politician, promises much but doesn't deliver.

Like the image.

This gives pause for thought. I write, but can't sing and play music. I do have a Great Teacher. Let's see ...... Ok! Life is like trying to assemble a car, without ever having seen a car, before.

Very good George. In fact, I think you might be exact.

Life is the building of a box:
it may be a treasure chest or a prison,
it may be ornate or plain,
it may be finely wrought, crafted & joined
or it may be slipshod
with many regrettable inadequacies,
but; when it's done it's just a box...
only as fine as you have made it,
with no more or less volume than it has,
regardless of your efforts.

There is no flaw in our box
too small to warrant attention but; If
we find the time to criticize the box
another has made, it's entirely likely
at that very moment we are neglecting
our own.

A finely crafted box is art, Bauhaus,
as art is subjective we cannot expect
everyone to admire our box BUT; if we
are content in our box it's satisfactory.

A well wrought box may last as an example
of craftsmanship for many generations
more if well loved along the way.

Yes, indeed life is like a box
built over as many years as it takes.

These are some of my favorite games

Very good. I am impressed.

Thank you very much, that's high praise indeed.

life is like great beer.. complex, bittersweet, a bit intoxicating..richly colored and deeply satisfying..at its best when savored slowly.. best when enjoyed in good company..all the while knowing it cannot last..

I like it.

Life is like an incredibly difficult knot that you spend years worrying at, one looped segment at a time, and are then surprised when it unravels all at once.

Excellent. Somehow, it makes perfect sense.

Life is like a winding road... take it to fast and you fall off the trail... If you're lucky you have a familial compass to bring you back to the path.

Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting an angry bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

Nice image. And nice to see you MrSelfDestruct.

Life is all learning. There is always something new you must master. And just when you do,there is another phase of life coming your way. So, life is like school.

Or-life is like a poppy seed. However you choose to use it. It can be beautiful flowering, or it can be terrible, used to grow opium. It can do good as anesthesia. It can sustain, as poppy seed in baking. It can kill, as heroin.

Life is like a poppy seed: love it: some of the most beautiful of flowers are poppies.

The Poppy is the Symbol of the Disabled American Veterans Association, and they give out paper ones every year on Veteran's day as they solicit for donations.
