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?

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

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?  ...

Very Superstitious

Do you think black cats portend bad tidings? Are you triskaidekaphobic (fear of the number 13)? Growing up, I used to hear all sorts of things that were supposedly bad luck or could bring on something that you'd rather not, well, bring on. There was the one about walking under a ladder...or how many of you remember that little ditty about stepping on a crack and breaking your Mama's back? Yeah? I thought you might LOL  I asked a few people about any superstitions that they may have heard/been told. Not all of them are omens of doom and gloom. Some are kinda funny and some you might even want to have happen. Like this first one: If palm of your left hand is itching, you're going to receive some money.       Okay, that's a superstition that I can deal with. Now don't go rubbing your left hand on poison ivy to make your palm itchy to get money. The only thing you're going to do is end up with itchy palms that will spread and have you bathing in oatmeal and ch...
