Default Your favorite quote or saying. More than one expected.

Today mine is;


"Sometimes people need love most who are most unlovable."


and just so you can know the real me.


"Why be difficult when with a little effort you can be impossible?"


AND


"I talk like this because of the chip in my neck put there by The Villages sales department when they issued me my I.D. Gary Morse did not pay for my home."

Here's my contribution:
  • Before I criticize someone, I walk a mile in their shoes. That way, if they get angry, they'll be a mile away and barefoot.
  • I can only please one person per day. Looks like today's not your day and tomorrow's not looking much better.
  • I do exercise, but I only do a couple situps each day, and that's only when I have to get out of bed to pee.
  • Save the earth! It's the only planet with chocolate.
  • Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
There! Now aren't you glad you asked?

I know what it is to have little and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned to be content with whatever I have.

Gee, it's hard to pick a favorite but......

1. People are as happy, as they make up their minds to be. A. lincoln
2. Mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.
3. I don't let people rent space, in my head.
5. Boy howdy by Gracie.
6. It doesn't cost anything to be nice, (Mom).
7. People don't care how much you know, unless they know how much you care.

That's all folks!!!!

Believe that most people do the best they can with the knowledge they have.

Blaming never solved anything.

(Actually, to be used anytime you shoot anyone, anywhere.)
