@SandySparkles  Like you, my Grandmother used to say, If they're talking about you, they're leaving someone else alone. Of course she also used to tell me and my sister, the only good man is a dead man. Good thing we didn't listen to everything Grandma said!Lol


@NEvans2 Welcome!🥰  Our dear grandmothers were SO wise!😁 I listened to everything mine told me, but DID not listen to everything my dear mother at times told me, or my life might have been much worse than it was at times!!!😁

 

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

My mother would always say go out on the right foot and not everyone is going to like you, that's their problem. 



@Jordan2 Welcome!🥰 It sounds like your dear mother and mine went to the same school of wisdom!!! She would tell me not everyone is going to LIKE you or be your friend, and to not care!😁 My mother did not give the greatest advice, but shared some wisdom that was beneficial!😊

 

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

My dad suggested strongly to get my college degree as it can never be taken away once earned and I would be glad I had it. Glad I took his advice.

It wasn't so much what she said , it was observing how she lived her life and treated others. I couldn't have had a better role model . 


@QVCkitty1  I can relate to this. While I know no one is perfect and  mom would agree with that....she was as close to it as anyone I have ever known. She seemed to be loved by everyone who met her. We lost her coming on 3 yrs. ago now and I sure do miss her.



@jubilant Welcome!🥰  I am SO sorry for your loss!❤

 

I LOVED❤ reading of the love and reverence you had for your dear mother!! It is MOST endearing!❤

 

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

My mother always tucked a $10 dollar bill in my purse when I was on my first date with a new boy in high school..Just in case I might need to bail. 

 

She told me she had had to bail that way several times, but she was much more beautiful than I. 

 

Never had to use the $$ and always gave it back to her.

 

 



@Burnsite WOW! I think that was a WONDERFUL idea for young ladies back then; though I would never have thought of that!❤ Thankfully, everyone has cellphones now for emergencies, and that you NEVER had to use the money!😊

 

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

My mother did not like her MIL.  I was repeatedly advised to marry a rich orphan.
