Nice one Jamesey.....
One of the favourite sayings of my mother is..."Never go anywhere with your arms swinging!!!"...meaning if you are going to visit someone's house or someone in hospital or wherever they may be....always bring along a little gift, however small...it makes them feel special and you feel good:-)

"Act your age young lady!"
Huh? how am I supposed to do that when I don't know what a 15 yr. old girl is supposed to act like? Is there a book for me to read?
Ooohhhh....she really didn't care much for my response but.....age? what really is age and how does one truly "act their age?"
*I still have no clue how old/young I am* Winking and who really cares?
^scoots off to dance in the puddles^
Lesson learned - you are only as young or old as you *think* you are.
Then I will always think "young" Freebird!!!!

FORESIGHT
make sure you wear clean under garments in case you are in an accident.
Yeah.....I never could understand that one James...if I was sick and the doctor was being called to the house, the bed linen was changed, the house hoovered top to bottom, I was dressed up in my best bib and tucker - pyjamea-wise!! - and put perched in the middle of the bed - pillows all a-fluffed!!....he'd cum in, take one minute to examine me..one minute to write out prescription..and one minute to get handed a extravagant fee!!!and he was gone in less than 5!!!! Think my mumsy must have fancied him:-)

To expect the worse in people.. damn... I would have loved to believe it was natural to me lol
My mother taught me to never cast my pearls to swine- not everything was meant for others to see or hear lest they become tainted- and she taught that if I were going to drink wine in the company of a man, never drink Port, always something like Merlot or Chardonnay...Port you drink in the company of God and your self...Ahhh yes the wisdom of a Pisces

Keep crying and I will give you something to cry about.

Thanks Jamesey for starting this thread.......on buying my card for my mama for Mother's Day this Sunday, I decided to use your thread for the card...I wrote 4 silly-billy things she had taught me:-) and then 4 "real heart" things she has taught me and still is:-)......she will probably think her daughter is turning into an emotional "squashy bun"!! on reading the card, but I don't care:-)....sometimes it's good to break free of being "an emotional chicken"!!!!:-)
