My Mamma Always Told Me...
myself | 6/2/05 | peacebaby

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?

It's just as easy to fall inlove with a rich man as it is a poor man!

I had a friend with a dog named FORD.
She said it stood for Found On Road Dog.

They live out in the desert somewhere and found him on the road - I thought it was a perfect name.

When I'm fretful about his fidelity, Xena's Guy reassures me by telling me that he would never go out for milk, since he has a cow at home.

My mama always told me that.

What she didn't tell me is that it's a helluva lot harder to FIND the former.

He was an Ace... with the cats in the neighborhood...

Six confirmed dead and three unconfirmed.

But a good boy otherwise.

Is that a good thing, or a (not so) veiled insult?

I guess that could be taken several different ways. LOL
Now you can tell him since you have a pig, you dont need to go out and look for sausage!

Dogs that are found wandering around, are often times the best dogs of all. My children found a huge lab mix when we lived in the middle of an avocado grove, and that dog turned out to be the best dog we've ever had.

He chased off thieves but was so darn friendly to everyone who we welcomed into our house.

Depends on whether it's delivered airily with a kiss, or sullenly through clenched teeth. ;)

I find it effective, no matter how outrageous he gets, to merely smile, nod, and say, "Whatever you say, honey."

Makes him mad as hell! ;)

Well, God bless you then..You have more patience than I.. LOL
See motormouth.. Thats not because I hold my tongue, I would find it very difficult to just smile and nod.

Oh, believe you me, I have scads of smart-ass remarks at the ready.

But he's prepared for those. The quiet cheerful assent throws him for a loop every time.

I can do that to him two, three times a week and he never catches on.

"The higher you rise, the harder you fall."

I actually experienced that with my dad...terrible lesson that a man has to learn in his 60s....

Mama didn't tell me this, but I know now, marry once for love, marry twice for money.

LOL!

My Mom said to never call her at work unless it was an emergency.

Imagine my misguided delight, when my sis broke her arm. I could CALL!
