I've learned....
That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes! :0)

I've learned.......toilet paper......
There is a choice you have to make,
In everything you do.
And you must always keep in mind,
The choice you make, makes you.
Good ones!!
always listen to the wife she is always right. :D
I like them all. You are all right.
If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

On sensitivity, one of my favorites: Some folks feel the rain, others just get wet.
Another one: A stroll through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your ankles wet.
A male friend long ago said these things to me as compliments, and I have treasured them ever since. But once I was feeling frustrated by his shallow attitude about someone and said to him, " The least you could do is to hear what she has to say." He responded, "If I do, I'm afraid I might care about someone's feelings besides my own, and I don't want the inconvenience. One self-absorbed person is all I can deal with, and I'm stuck with me."
I don't believe that for a minute - who you trying to kid Aimee??? - Self absorbed my foot!!!!
Not me, Louisa, he was referring to a woman we both knew who had been hurt by his words and actions. I was trying to get him to let her explain why she was upset, and to do what he should, to apologize and make amends in some way. So he called her self absorbed, which in retrospect she probably was, but she still deserved a hearing. Bless his heart, he always tried to get me to be more selfish, take more time for myself, and I just didn't feel it was right for me. The nice things I posted that he said about me, were in response to my defense of her own lack of sensitivity, and he was comparing us. I was uncomfortable at the time, but I do treasure the description since I was on the positive side of the comparison. Incidentally, she let me talk her into joining the Peace Corps, and she learned so much about herself. He is still self-absorbed. Even his grandchildren say so.
We may not have it all together...
But together we have it all!

YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES FOR DINNER:
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!
It doesn't matter if you win or lose....until you lose.
To old married couples: Love is never having to say excuse me.
Some you win, some you lose, and some you get rained out.. but you've got to dress for them all.
For the ladies: Nice guys finish last...if they're truly nice guys!

Weez ~ you jogged my memory! Here's my favorite of all time ~ it's so totally, completely, incredibly true.
"So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key." ~ the Eagles
Wingnut: I've often thought it would be fun to dedicate one wall in the house to quotes from song lyrics. Maybe we should start a thread for that one!
Mark Twain said, " I have known a lot of troubles, and most of them never happened." I think of that when I find myself being a worrier again.
Aimee, that's a good one! And that's a GREAT idea, Weez! As you and everyone else probably knows, Kenny and I will soon dig in to remodeling the barn house with gusto (as soon as the fundage comes in). I think I'll do the song lyrics in the bathroom! It'll give everyone some "reading material" when they're in there. *grin*
Boy, Wingnut wouldnt that be a riot!!!!!!!!!! My DH would really love that. Then he wouldnt have to find something to read everytime he sits on the throne!

Wingnut: I think you'd better leave a space for some additions or you'll get lots of graffitti!
