Hey Peaceful how bout - "Whatever flips your skirt!" "He/she's not the sharpest knife in the kitchen." "He/she doesn't have both oars in the water." "He/she is a brick short of a load." Those are easy ones - I gotta think of something really good.  |

This one was invented just for me: (well, not really) "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" |

Pookles -- Speaking of weird, nonsensical sayings, my dad -- who grew up in the 20s and 30s -- had a couple that didn't make sense, but I always liked them and still say them sometimes -- they're supposed to be "rank-outs": So's your old man! Ahhhh, yer mudder's dirty underwear! Hey, yer, mudder wears combat boots! (mudder = mother) |

Corzak, long time, no hear! I like your quote, it makes a lot of sense. I saw the ani you made on the other thread. That's excellent, I'll have to check it out. Unfortunately, I didn't try your steak recipe. As soon as I saw the hot peppers I knew it wasn't for me. I never could handle hot food. I'm sure braver souls than I have tried it, though. Saw this, thought of you!!!!!!!!!! |

Right now I can think of two favorites:
Don't push the river, it flows by itself When G_d closes a door he opens a window
Ok, three. My husband, the Eternal Irish Optomist, refuses to be defeated by external or internal events.Drives me crazy when I really want to have a few moments of quiet depression and a good cry. He always says " We don't know it now, but things have a way of working out for the best. Something good will happen, you just wait and see" Doggone if he isn't right most of the time! Nancy |

Anytime I had someone complain about the way another person acted or was unhappy at other peoples choices, I'd say..."That's the best part about being in America, we allow that kind of freedom". For some of my closer friends, (although I'd like to say it to some people I pass in the mall), "You should be glad they don't outlaw stupidity" texoma |
