A lot of threads recently have reminded me of my favorite quotes from my mom. Here are the top two.
''Be nice to the nerds,'' she would say every morning when I got out of her car while dropping me off at school.
and
''Remember, Sloppy drunks don''t get the hunks!'' Said to me as I left for college.

Something my mother always says, but not sure who the original person who said it was, ''Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.''
I cannot count the amount of times she said that to me in high school and university.
I love your grandma''s saying. Please ask if, she''s still available, whether I might have permission to borrow it for use with our soon-to-be 13 year old granddaughterDate: 9/21/2008 2:23:09 AM

My grandma on dating: ''Collect and then select.''
Such a cutie!
That has got to be the best quote ever! I think I''m going to make a big sign and put it over my desk at work. Or better yet, maybe I''ll add it to my signature!Date: 9/20/2008 5:51:37 AM

Ooooh, when I read the title of this post two sayings my mom would say frequently came immediately to mind. But after reading everyone else''s...well ...they all seem so insightful and somewhat squeaky clean. I think I may hold off. haha...![]()

I''m sure she would love for you to use it. I must have been around 13 when I heard it for the first time.I think its its great advice!![]()
LOL Emm, my Mom used to say the same thing! She would also say "as long as I''m bigger than you" and "come here and let me give you something to cry about".....that would end the tears right away.Date: 9/21/2008 10:10:43 PM

Said by my delightful, sweet Mother on many an occasion when I had incurred her wrath: ''I brought you into this world, and I can TAKE YOU OUT!!!''![]()

Ellen, it used to drive me NUTS.
She also loved saying ''there is no justice outside of the family'' Nor in it, apparently! Sort of went along with the not fair stuff, but her implication was you could expect family to behave in a certain way but not anyone else. Meanwhile, family (especially my sister) can be the worst in terms of no justice.
Plus, my mom would always tell me she would do these sayings in needlepoint for me to frame or make a pillow out of! As if.
