My papa used to always say, "Procrastination is the thief of time"

My grandmother used to warn us when we were little girls that if we slept with dogs we would get fleas. :wink:
 

i was telling my friend what i had posted and she add this:

her grandfather said everyone now days was crazy; when he grew up you ate in the house and went to the bathroom out side, now days everyone wants to eat out side and go to the bathroom in the house. :laughing9:

No notable old sayings but my grandmother almost always ended her sentences with "accch ya! an`so?" :thumbsup:
 

I often make my own up when I can find another way to say something. Yesterday I used, "Don't swat at mosquitoes when a gator's got you by the leg".

And, I don't claim to own it, but I swear I used this phrase for a long long time... "You can't polish a turd".

Sometimes in a crew of carpenters when a new guy starts, and it's his first day on the job, one of the carpenters
will tell him to keep his eye out for any nails with the head on the wrong end. He will tell him not to throw it
away because it is for the other side of the house.
