I'm originally from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. The one saying I always remember and still use myself to this day is, "the good Lord willing and the creek don't rise". Meaning, hopefully a certain thing will come to pass if the Lord is willing and something else doesn't happen. And when I was five, the creek that ran along the road past my house did flood, and the waters came up to the edge of the door jamb but didn't come in. Everything around our house was water, but we had gone to higher ground at my grandma's! ${#emotions_dlg.ohmy}$

My current favorite is from comedian Ron White: "You can't fix stupid!" ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$

mominohio, my grandma used that saying, "the milk has gone blinky." My oldest brother said it the last time I was visiting him, LOL! Hadn't heard it anywhere else.

My favorite that another grandma said was "oh my stars." In the next generation, my mom said "oh my word."

~Dogs are my favorite people and my favorite people are dogs.~

I am a worry wart and get pretty worked up sometimes. I know. Hard to believe huh? LOL. My mother would say, "well, it either will or it won't". And she was right. I miss my mom.

When I moved south to Houston a new neighbor offered to "carry me to the store"! What? He is going to pick me up?

I learned many new sayings, and expressions during those years!

Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.

Map out your future - but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.

Passion + Persistence = Possibilities

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.

I'll forgive you for asking, if you forgive me for not answering.

Live your life in such a way that the Westboro Baptist Church will want to picket your funeral. Amen!!
