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?

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT)                                                                                                                                                    http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

Cast Off

Letting go isn't always an easy thing.  It is most times, well, a necessary thing...of course necessary has nothing to do with easy.  How many of you are currently in a relationship? No, not with chocolate or alcohol but an actual relationship with another person? They text you or call you every day several times a day...you're making plans to see them before you even finish with one date...you miss them when your time together for that date is drawing to an end...you see them walking towards you and you can't help but smile, waiting for that hug, that kiss...you have so much fun with them you can't imagine them not being around... Fun stuff right? (Ok well most of the time it is - if not, get out but that's a post for another time)  Ok so for all the currently boo'd up readers, is this your first relationship? Hmm, I'm guessing probably not - at least for most anyway. So at some point you were head over heels for someone else. Each day you woke up excit...
