I envy your sewing abilities, Liz--I can barely thread my ancient machine, which serves only as a repair machine when my friend Connie is too busy to fix things for me. I am learning to knit though. I'm hoping to get a couple of baby blankets done this winter for the hospital here. We'll see, eh? <br /><br />The one I love is one my mom used to say and now it's better known as a Dr. Phil-ism: "How's that workin' out for you?" and my grandmother would say someone who was nasty was "meaner than a striped snake." Mom would also say she was going to "shake us 'til our teeth jingled" if we didn't stop arguing. We stopped... ;-)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809913527142033733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-79700325028783014702015-10-05T17:58:42.447-04:002015-10-05T17:58:42.447-04:00I love some of the NASCAR sayings like "back&...I love some of the NASCAR sayings like "back'er down there, Marine," when someone gets too fired up. And "kick the tires and light the fires, Big Daddy," right before a race started.

Though, as you say, I wish they weren't necessary.<br /><br />One of my favorite unusual sayings came from my late mother-in-law.

It forces us (well, me, at any rate) to smile and take a second look at the day. Sometimes the smile is bittersweet, sometimes mocking, and sometimes, like today, a 'yeah! it is!' Hope you get back to writing, but making gowns for such a fantastic cause is the best reason to suspend words-to-paper.Barbara Bettishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16540961829243251471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-18196217643940266622015-10-05T10:59:06.373-04:002015-10-05T10:59:06.373-04:00I haven't had that happen, but I've certai...I haven't had that happen, but I've certainly used a lot of song titles!
