Hello Everyone,

 

Great weekend to you.  It's been pretty quiet around

here lately.  Aren't you hankering for a little action?



OK, so here it is.


 

Everyone enjoys quotes and saying-funny, witty


profound, inspirational, whatever...  They're the



easiest way to break the ice and get things



moving.  Here's one of my favourites:

 



"You win a few, you lose a few,







some get rained out,







but you got to dress for them all."







~ Satchel Paige











It's obvious that Satchel wasn't just talking about baseball.  This is a winning attitude about the





game of life.

 

So now it's your turn.  Pull up a chair, order your


favourite soft drink (no hard stuff, we want you on





your toes) scratch your head awhile, no excuses.





Get out your Websters or surf over to



braineyquote.com and let's hear it.

 

Get ready for some real fun.  If you're not careful,





you just might learn something--can you guess





who said that?

It certainly has been quiet around here, Boomer!

Thanks for your effort to liven things up! I'll probably join in with you later on today after I finish editing some of my blogs! :)

TOP TEN EXCUSES FOR FALLING ASLEEP AT YOUR DESK

"They told me at the blood bank this might happen."

"I wasn't sleeping, I was trying to pick up contact lens without hands."

"I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!"

"Amen"

"This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to."

"Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper"

"I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work related stress."

"This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people!"

"Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won't wear off!"

"Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."

Hi there Paula,

Good to come back to this. Here are a few from me.

Every generation laughs at the old fashions,
but religiously follows the new.
Henry David Thoreau

The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at a time.
Richard Cech

If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true were really true,
there would be little hope of advance.
Orville Wright

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Have a wonderful weekend all.

"Is fuel efficiency really what we need most desperately? I say what we really need is a car that can be shot when it breaks down."
- Russell Baker

What would happen in a battle between an Enterprise security team, who always get killed soon after appearing, and a squad of Imperial Stormtroopers, who can't hit the broad side of a planet?"

this is an awesome idea! Only I've been seriously being an advertiser and updater of my websites to get rid of programs i'm not promoting anymore!

Here's a quote:

Thanks for the invite -

Some Old Coot truisms:-

The longest journey atarts with a single step - but so does the shortest. So what?

Being positive and boasting about it is about as effective and impressive as trying to be negative - which, of course, is humanly impossible.

Self improvement courses are for those people with too much time for introspection and more money than sense.

They say that God made Eve from Adam's rib - so, soil wasn't good enough?

It is said that dentists always look down in the mouth. No they don't - to them a mouth is their own personal gold mine and retirement pension.

Pain is proof that you are alive - I could do without the constant proof!

Dogs seize the moment, people tend to let it slip by them.

Kids! Do you know where your parents are tonight?
You do?
Isn't that sad?

Parents! Do you know where your kids are tonight?
You do?
You actually believed them?

Secrets are the biggest compliment you can ever receive if you are expected to keep them. If you are not expected to keep them, what does that say about you?

Making friends is easy - being a friend is hard.

How many internets does the average internet marketer sell?

Why is it all right to walk down streets and to walk up streets while to walk streets is to invite derision and disgust?

Holding a contrary opinion is not a crime.

Old Coots are probably the happiest people in the world.

Old Coot,

You are one stinker--and I love you to death!
Regarding Adam & Eve. My Knowledge of the
Hebrew language is pretty good. The word for
bone (ie rib) in Hebrew is the same as the
word for essence. So what does that tell you
about us ladies? *Grin*.

Keep on keeping us on our toes!

I am a history buff among other things and have read tons about US presidents. Here are 2. One I believe MOST everyone is familiar with. The other is not so familiar. But BOTH are 2 of my favorites:

1. "The buck stops here." Harry S. Truman

2. "You have nothing to fear but fear itself". Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Hey Paula, thanks for the invite!

"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability."

-Henry Ford


"This American system of ours, call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you will, gives each and every one of us a great opportunity if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it"

-Al Capone


"I sing to the realists; people who accept it like it is."

-Aretha Franklin


"I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion"

"Leon Uris Quotes and Quotations

Welcome to the Leon Uris Quotes and Quotations section
You will find here the best Leon Uris quotes. Enjoy!

1 quotes of Leon Uris found"

-The site where I found that last one.


Just For Fun...Some Family Guy Quotes:


Tom Tucker: A bit of breaking news. A local family is forced out of their home by ghosts. Who are they gonna call?
Diane Simmons (sighs): Ghostbusters, Tom.
Tom Tucker: No, Diane. Their insurance company. That's just stupid what you said.

Peter: It's already done. I dropped them all off at Toys for Toddlers last night.
Brian: All? Peter, only only one gift was for charity, the rest were for the family.
Peter: No, the rest were from the family. Weren't they? (Pauses.) Oh crap...since when did they change the meaning of "for" to "from"?
Brian: They had a meeting about it last night.
Peter: Why wasn't I told?
Brian: They sent you a card, but it said "for Peter" on it so you must of thought it was from you, so you didn't...you know, its just easier to call you stupid.


Peter (narrating his life): "I walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. I looked with a grimace at the questionable meal Lois had placed in front of me. Of course I'd never tell her how disgusted I was with her cooking, but somehow I think she knew. Lois had always been full of energy and life, but lately I had begun to grow more aware of her aging. The bright, exuberant eyes that I had fallen in love with were now beginning to grow dull and listless with the long fatigue of a weary life. (Lois knocks Peter out.)
I woke several hours later in a daze."

Who's up for some APSense Quotes?? ;)

Thanks Paula, here's one;

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Hi Selya & David,

Wow! This is so true. When I think back on
times I've held grudges or had good feelings
about someone, it's always been connected
with an emotion-how that person made me
feel. This is a great quote to remember when
dealing with others.

Thanks,
Paula/BoomSpress

I couldn't resist these.

With the experience of four lovely wives I can say without fear of contradiction-

a) Do something she does not like, once, and she will say "You always do that!"

b) Forget to do something once and she will say "You never do that for me!"

c) If you did not know something she did not tell you, she will say "You never listen to a word I say!"

d) If she forgets something that you told her she will say "You never tell me anything!"

Aren't they special?

Hey again Old Coot,

Re: "I couldn't resist these. With the experience
of four lovely wives...."

Humm, very interesting. That was my experience
with one lovely ex-husband, several ex-bosses
(male and female) and a few friends and family
members. Maybe it's just the nature of human
beings-grin & bear it..

Thanks for the invite. I really cant think of any great quote or sayings because i am on my first cup of coffee. But one thing I live by my father use to always tell me.

" If your can't do it your self then it can't be done"

I may think of some better ones after my 3 cup of coffee.

But this is a funny and uplifting place to be.

Hi ALL,

I haven'tbeen here in a while but after some emails and comments with other members about various topics ANOTHER quote came to mind and here it is: ' If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen" Harry S. Truman

As you can tell. My quotes have been from either FDR or Harry S. Truman. I am a history buff and US Prsidents in general. I will add more as I remember them. Have a GREAT DAY!

Hello

This is fun and interesting.

I have to say to The Old Coot that I have lots of witnesses in our household (big family), and when my hubby says that he didn't know about something, it was because he wasn't listening when I told him (or when one of the other members of the family told him).

Rebecca reminded me of what my Daddy used to say to me when I thought that I wasn't good enough, clever enough, able enough etc. He would just say "You can do it." He didn't say anything else on whatever subject it was about. "You can do it."

It worked for me and it still works for me now. I say it to myself and I say it to my children.

Angel cuddles,

Sarah
