Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Thanks!  I must have missed these. :(

Vanilla-Jackie

Oh, just thought of another my father would often joke and say...

..." she's walking around like a f**t in a trance...

...looking lost, doesn't know what she is doing...I bet we haven't got this one... ;)
" There is no present like the time "

Vanilla-Jackie

Do we have this one....

" A blessing in disguise.."

...another expression my father would often say to me, when good comes out from a bad situation...
" There is no present like the time "

Bubble, :thumbup: let us hope its not on Rammels list either... ;)

" There is no present like the time "

I am re-reading a favorite author: Nevil Shute.
His title "round the bend" is a used expression I think.

Vanilla-Jackie

Bubble...
...I go there a lot, ( get driven there, ) both " round the bend " and " up the wall.."
" There is no present like the time "

Just happened to drop in, so ----

From above
588 - " You are driving us up the Wall"

I've been busy trying to learn and set up some new electronic stuff.
"I've been up to my neck in alligators".  (just checked - that's already listed.)

...Guess we might as well add....

...." Going round and round in circles..."

If y' can't say good about someone.....say nowt.   ;)

1090 - Fight fire with fire.
1091 - If you can't say anything good, don't say anything.


"There's nobody home upstairs".  Is this known (to anyone other than me)?  Should it be added?  This was used to indicate a person wasn't too bright.

Rick, I think it compares to "being a few cards short of a full deck".  It means the same thing.

Mary Ann

RAMMEL

I think I agree with the last two posts. The term I posted was used among my wife's family and I've heard it locally.  As with many, locale does make for variance. 

Just found #426 - There's nobody home upstairs.
I'm adding "being a few cards short of a full deck" as a sub to 426

Rammel...best to stay with your version, the way you remember it told by your own family members...if I remember that far back, that was the original topic subject... :)

I always knew I take after my late father when he used to say to me...

" she's a chip off the old block.."


Someone said that way back.  You?

Hm, I had better not say it again then... :-[

1091 - If you can't say anything good, don't say anything.

My grandchild always wants a kiss on the forehead before going to bed, and we have to say "If you can't have good dreams, don't dream at all"

I don't know where she got that from (she's a third-grader).
Kats are krazy, kalm or kollected, but mostly kôôl

Interesting.  Life is full of "wonders".  It would be interesting, but endless to hear where all these sayings originated.

Removed...now I am giving up...I just keep on repeating myself...repeating myself, repeating myself..

If I had a 'tanner' for every time I'd heard that joke, I'd still only have two 'thrippenny bits'......

RAMMEL, I've heard "nobody home upstairs" most of my life.  Must be local around here, too.

Also heards "bats in the belfrey" pretty often.  Meaning you
re crazy.  I'm sure that's already here.
