On the lighter side............
« on: April 22, 2009, 01:31:13 PM »
Lets see some "old sayings" from around the country, you don't hear them like you used to. Seems the young dont use the ones I grew up with

LIke:  Older than dirt. or  Can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

OK I left a few, lets see em fellers! Excuse me you too ladies, sorry!

If wishes were horses beggers would ride.

It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

One my Mom always used to say, "Its raining cats and dogs".  

"Its cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey."  Cannon balls on a ship were always stacked in a pyramid shape. The base where they stacked them was made of brass and called a "Monkey" When it got cold the brass base contracted, causing the balls to fall off the base. Hence this saying was started.
Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.    Wm. Penn

Easy come easy go.

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

If at first you don't suceed try, try again

Here is one my sister told me 20 years ago and never heard of it since.
Here's to it and from it and to it again. If you ever get to it and don't do it. May you never get to it to do it again.

He lies so much that someone else has to call the dog for him.

I wondered why the kids in the white house kept having to sit on their daddy's lap and call the new first dog!  :D


She's so ugly they had to tie a pork chop around her neck to get the dog to play with her.


Don't cry over spilt milk!


My cow just died so I don't need your bull.


She's so skinny that if she turned side ways and stuck out her tongue you could use her as a zipper.


You have to make hay when the sun shines.


These next four are from my GRANDDAD!

It's not bad to not know,
What's bad is when you don't know that you don't know.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts!

Always try to talk your way out of it, but if you have to fight, then make sure you get in the first lick!

A man's word is his bond!


Till the cows come home.


HELL has no furry like a woman's scorn!   AMEM!!!!


You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.


Just because you see it in the news paper don't make it so.


Yeah, and if a bullfrog had wings it wouldn't bump it's a$% when it hopped either.


When you are sliding down the banister of success don't let a splinter slide up your career!


Behind every good man is a woman,   telling him what he is doing wrong.


Let's not and say we did.


Caught between a rock and a hard place.


That's as old as MUTHUSALA!


Take it with a grain of salt.


In one ear and out the other.



Others may come as I think of them.

Not only does he not have both oars in the water, he can't even find the lake!


He's one sandwich short of a picnic basket.


If you can't stand the, get out of the kitchen.


A good man is hard to find.


You either have it or you don't.


Just when you have everything figured out in life they go and change all the questions.


This is one of the best-
YOU JUST WAIT TILL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME!


No matter what the situation is, the answer is always the same-
YOU'LL BREAK YOUR NECK!


Hey, no one said life was fair.


You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.


Awh grow up.


Why don't you use that thing on your shoulders for something other than a hat rack.


If you put your brain in a match box it would sound like a BB rolling around in a box car.


YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID!!!


Don't be such a stick in the mud.


Things will look better in the morning.


Hey, I may be old but I ain't dead.


Just remember, blood is thicker than water.


He got his clock cleaned.


He don't even know which end is up.


He couldn't pour water out of a boot if the instructions were on the bottom.


You couldn't punch your way out of a wet paper bag.


You couldn't hit the side of a barn.


With the help from the GOOD BOOK we will get through!




I'm still thinking!

COWBOY WISDOM 

      Don't name a pig you plan to eat.

      Country fences need to be horse high, pig tight, and bull strong.

      Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well
you bounce.

      Life is simpler when you plough around the stump.

      A bumblebee is faster than a John Deere tractor.

      Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled.

      Meanness don't happen overnight.

      Forgive your enemies.  It messes with their heads.

      Don't sell your mule to buy a plough.

      Don't corner something meaner than you.

      It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

      You can't unsay a cruel thing.

      Every path has some puddles.

      When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

      The best sermons are lived, not preached.

      Most of the stuff people worry about never happens.

      Don't squat with your spurs on.

      Don't judge people by their relatives.

      Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

      Live a good, honorable life.  Then when you get older and think back,
you'll enjoy it a second time.

      Don't interfere with something that ain't botherin' you none.

      Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

      It's better to be a has-been than a never-was.

      The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm.  The colder it
gets, the harder it is to swallow.

      If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

      If it don't seem like it's worth the effort, it probably ain't.

      It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.

      Sometimes you get and sometimes you get got.

      The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with watches
you shave his face in the mirror every morning.

      If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin'
somebody else's dog around.

      Don't worry about bitin' off more'n you can chew; your mouth is
probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.

      Only cows know why they stampede.

      Always drink upstream from the herd.

      If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then
to make sure it's still there with ya.

      Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad
      judgment.

      Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it
back in.

      You can't tell how good a man or a watermelon is 'till they get thumped.

      Never miss a good chance to shut up.
Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well
you bounce
