Forrest Gump's mother told him: "Life is like a box of chocolates... ." My own mother told me: "Honey child, there's a thin line between love and hate." What words of wisdom did your mother or loved one impress upon you? Anyone?

I've been married 25 years (I think), and now I know what mamma said; There's a fine line between love and hate.





LOL! Get this: I'm married to a psychiatrist and he's explained this to me "several" times...lol.

[peacebaby]

My new motto: Rise above it.

My brother's wisdom: It's not the size of the boobs, it's the size of the bank account.

FOTFL! I love your wit and humor.

[diamond6]

I really like your sayings.

Another good one is: If you always do, what you've always done, then you'll always get, what you already have.

I think I may have butchered that. If that is wrong, please someone correct me.

FORD - "fix or repair daily" was told to me by a man I knew in Memphis...lol. Of course he owned one."


FORD - "Found on road dead" is another one.

LOL! I've only owned one Ford... of course it was a T-Bird. :)

I bought a Mercury Lynx in the early nineties, BIG MISTAKE!!!! I am not exaggerating, that car was in the shop probably ten times the first year after I bought it.

Unbelievable. Now, I only buy Japanese. If an American manufacturer can make a dependable car, then I'll give them my business. Until then, Honda all the way baby.

My Mother's most famous words of wisdom

If you have a baby, you can't be the baby any more.

Best birth control EVER.

(I just had my first baby at 30, and yes, I am still my Mother's baby)

Your post reminds me of yet another saying from my poppy:

"No matter how old your kids are, you never stop being a parent".

So true, especially during challenges.

About mothers and children, my mother tells me even to this day: The longer I raise children, the less I know about raising them.

Me: "Dad, can I go outside?"
Dad: "It's too windy to haul rocks."
Me: "I'm not going to haul rocks!"
Dad: "I know, it's too windy. Go to your room."

[stylecouncilor]

LOL! You Rock!

Men are like buses, there will be another one by in ten minutes.

When I got married my grandmother told me: "Be good. And if you can't be good, be careful. And if you can't be careful, name it after me."

[Dashing Dasher]

When I hear a child crying, it reminds me of one from my childhood...

No crying, 'less your dying!

Parenting was different then...

"What comes around, goes around"...

Best advice I ever got was from my Dad.

"Son, make 'em a hand."

Remember when you point your finger at someone, there's always 3 pointing back at you!

My Grandma Zip (the world's best gardener & truly rotten housekeeper) said--
A thousand people will drive by and see your yard for every one person that comes inside your house.
(which is why her yard was always soooo much fun for us kids).
