Don't quote me on this...

I don't know about you but I enjoy a good quote or saying. A few years back, I did a post titled "Oh the things people say". It's a short post listing a few of some one liners I'd come acroos from various sources - movies, books, office (lol) Over the years, I've jotted down a few. Unfortunately, I only remember hearing most of these and can't even imagine where some originated. So, here's my list. Some of these are classice and I'm sure you've heard of them but there are a few family faves and some rather obscure ones on the list, too. If you have some faves of our own, drop them in the comments below. Oh and if you know who said what from list, then please leave a comment below so I can "give credit where credit is due" (hahaha see what I did there?)

1. "With great power, comes great responsibility."
2. "The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice."
3. "The older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune."
4. "What butter and whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for."
5. "Always look both ways before you cross the street" (okay so this was someone's Mom or Grandmom, but I don't know who said it first. Makes sense though)
6. "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys"
7."Liquor before beer, never fear. Beer before liqur, never sicker"
8. "If you can't be good be good at it"
9. "Step on a crack, break yo'mama's back" (ah the days of being afraid of the cracks in a sidewalk, lol)
10. "That dog don't hunt" (heard this around the office quite a few times - usually proceed by this one "Circle the wagons"
BONUS: "A fish always rots from the head down"

What about these? Can you finish the lines?

Podcast #1

Yay! I've finally figured out how to get the recordings to show up on my blog. So this one is a actually a test recording. But I'm playing around here, so don't expect radio quality...at least not yet 😜 This first one is a recording of a post currently up on my blog titled Hostage Negotiations. May just add the recorded versions for those who'd rather listen than read. Plus, this new app has some pretty nifty features that I cannot wait to try out! Hostage podcast Peace, Mackgurl

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right? Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? So w

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes, A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN. He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi
