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?

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...

Who are you? - Tra

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince , cajole, coerce , beg , ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series WHO ARE YOU? My first victim , guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra. I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say: Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. Tra: My pleasure. Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready? Tra: Ready Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living? Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums. Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY! But really - why? ...
