#139 - Make Hay while the sun shines

These two are probably already listed, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And "The spirit is willing but the body/flesh is weak."

We may have had this one before.....but..

" Two wrong's don't make a right..."

139 - ha ha, never a truer word spoken....

Vanilla, we have it in #29. 

The list is now very large, cant remember that far back which ones we have had, which ones still to remember...

There is a "find" that helps locate quickly by using the main word of the saying.

  not sure it will work for those we had before we lost S & Fs...guess I could try...

Thanks, Rick, and Bubble!

Also Bubble, I am using Microsoft word, how do you use "find" with that or are you able to?

I use Word Pad.  Rammel explained to me where to find it.  I cannot see it in "view" but I can in "home". There are icons for find, replace, select all in the editing.

Patricia, I use Microsoft Word too and I click on Home and in the upper right corner is Find.  Microsoft Word and Word Pad must be similar.

Thanks, I'll look when I get back. My formatting is always different from Rick's as well. Any ideas on how to coordinate?

Anything Word Pad can do, MS Word can do - and then some.

I remember being told, " if you go out in the street like that..."

" That will raise a few eyebrows..."

was that with a mini skirt, Vanilla?   

A good conscience is a soft pillow


Man is the head of the family and woman is the neck that turns the head.

Just for today...

Any man can be a father but it takes a special one to be a DADDY!

Mine was a DADDY and so is my son!

I bet you were the neck, Jane!

Never had the legs for a mini skirt, still dont have the legs...

Yep Bubble, I turned my husband's head so far that he walked out on me after 32 years of marriage. 

because of a mini skirt I bet...

a much younger woman, you're right about that.  But I'd sure hate to see her in a mini skirt.  She outweighed me by at least 175 lbs.

You have reminded me of a French saying of my dad when he was seeing a woman with  a ... generous "front". He was saying, rolling his eyes: there is feed and drink there!

I heard my father describe one of the minions of our small town as

Mr. .... has a big future!  Mr.... had a rather large belly!  We've used this in our family for years to describe anyone who carries a paunch.
