[Strong Atheist]

13. Good one! nt.

[RevCheesehead]

4. "you'd better shop around."

44 years, and still shopping. :)

[Strong Atheist]

14. Ah, well. There is someone out there for each of us, I

believe...

[RevCheesehead]

23. That may be... but Mama taught me to be choosy.

Just because you've become a young woman, now
There's still some things that you don't understand, now
Before you ask some guy for his hand, now
You keep your freedom for as long as you can, now
My mama told me
You better shop around, aah-ha-ha
You better shop around

There's some things that I want you to know, now
Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow, now
The men'll come and the men are gonna go, now
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so, now
My mama told me
You better shop around, aah-ha-ha
You better shop around

Try to get yourself a bargain, girl
Don't be sold on the very first one
Good-looking guys come a dime a dozen
Try to find you one who's gonna give you true lovin'

Before you take a man and say I do, now
Make sure he's in love with you, now
Make sure that his love is true, now
I hate to see you feeling sad and blue, now
My mama told me
You better shop around, aah-ha-ha
You better shop around

Try to get yourself a bargain, girl
Don't be sold on the very first one
Good-looking guys come a dime a dozen
Try to find you one who's gonna give you true lovin'

Before you take a man and say I do, now
Make sure he's in love with you, now
Make sure that his love is true, now
I hate to see you feeling sad and blue, now
My mama told me
You better shop around, aah-ha-ha
You better shop around

[Strong Atheist]

29. Nothin' wrong with being choosy....

I myself have given up on the idea of marrying. I just have too many .... quirks ... to put up with. Good luck!



Edited: BTW, you missed another of my l***** threads yesterday. Lol!

[RevCheesehead]

46. That's a shame....

it had so much.... promise. :evilgrin:

[Strong Atheist]

48. It did, didn't it?

Not the fastest l*** on one of my threads though... had one in less than two minutes ...

[edbermac]

5. Never lick the toilet seat...

Mom was crazy as a loon...

[Strong Atheist]

16. I don't know. Sounds like good advice .... nt.

[skygazer]

6. Lots of things but they always ended with a dire warning

"Tie your shoelace or you'll trip and break your neck."
"Don't run on the stairs or you'll fall down them and break your neck."
"Don't climb those trees - the branches are liable to break and you'll fall off and break your neck."

Breaking one's neck always seemed to figure into it.

[Strong Atheist]

17. Sounds like a concerned mom. nt.

[Ptah]

7. If you break your leg,

don't come running to me.

[Strong Atheist]

18. Lol! nt.

[dr.strangelove]

11. Give them the milk for free and they will buy the cow later

or did I get that backwards.

[Strong Atheist]

21. ... and they won't buy the cow, is the way it goes, I believe. nt.

[dr.strangelove]

24. yeah, I was kidding

My mom gave both my sisters the "Why would they buy the cow if they can get the milk for free" bit.

[Strong Atheist]

26. Ah. Sorry. Slow today ... nt.

[Ariana Celeste]

15. "You don't need $50 pants."

So we went to ROSS. :loveya:

[Spacemom]

22. Just because you're not paranoid

doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

Mom was an original. :)

[Strong Atheist]

27. Heard that. nt.

[Spacemom]

32. I mean original

in that's the type of advice she gave me. Not that she made it up. :D

[Strong Atheist]

33. Ah. Understand. nt.

[Brewman_Jax]

25. Take your time, young man

don't you rush to get old.

[Strong Atheist]

28. Good advice. Wish I was younger. Never wanted to be

older than I was ...

[Brewman_Jax]

30. Lyrics from the song

"Mama used to say" by Junior

Ooh
Yeah, girl

Said a small boy once asked, When will I grow up
When will I see what grownups do see...
In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age
To be recognized is when I’m not unmasked

And mama used to say, Take your time, young man...
Mama used to say, Don’t you rush to get old...
Mama used to say, Take it in your stride...
Mama used to say, Live your life...

As the years went rushin’ by he would cut down on his age
He would tell his girl of how it used to be
How his mommy passed away, but these lines she would say
And at the time he couldn’t understand

Mama used to say, Take your time, young man...
Mama used to say, Don’t you rush to get old...
Mama used to say, Take it in your stride...
Mama used to say, Live your life...

You’re young, so young, don’t hold on back
Do all you want to do
Now is the time for you to stride
For you to get better in what you are doin’, oh

Now is the time for you to stride
For you to get better in what you are doin’, oh

A small boy once asked, When will I grow up
When will I see what grownups do see...
In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age
To be recognized is when I’m not unmasked

And mama used to say, Take your time, young man...
Mama used to say, Don’t you rush to get old...
Mama used to say, Take it in your stride...
Mama used to say, Live your life, live your life, live your life, oh...

Hey, mama used to say, Take your time, young man...
Mama used to say, Don’t you rush to get old...
Mama used to say, Take it in your stride...
Mama used to say, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...

Ooh
Ooh
Mama used to say, ooh...
Mama used to say, ooh...
Mama used to say, ooh...
Mama used to say, ooh...
Mama used to say

[Strong Atheist]

31. Ah. Never heard it. Sounds like good advice. nt.

[kitkatrose]

34. You can't hurry love...

I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said

You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take

You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin’ on
When I feel my strength, yeah
It’s almost gone
I remember mama said:

You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take

How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?

No I can’t bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that i, I can’t go on
These precious words keeps me hangin’ on
I remember mama said:

You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take

You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

No, love, love, don’t come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
But mama said:

You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take

35. Stay out of the orange groves!

perverts lurk in the orange groves, if you didn't know that already...

[Strong Atheist]

53. No, I didn't know that.... nt.

[FLSurfer]

36. My mom was always full of the best advice.

I remember when I graduated from College she told me
that it was more important to be happy than wealthy.
I believe she worded it something like "you can be poor anywhere"
emphasizing the "anywhere".

So I moved to the Marshall Islands. good surf, good weather, good food,
healthy lifestyle.

She was right. I've never been
as happy as I was there.

[Strong Atheist]

54. Sounds good! nt.

[LostinVA]

37. Don't play ball in the house...

39. giggle -- I am a Brady Bunch fanatic -- saw the first one

When it was originally broadcast. The movies are GREAT!

[Tikki]

40. Shut your eyes and think....

about tropical islands...

She ,also, always said..."You can't live in a hole in the road"...:shrug:

[aclog]

41. Don't stick your head out the window!

[Strong Atheist]

56. Good advice, unless you are a dog ... nt.

[aclog]

115. Well, in a manner of speaking...

[ashling]

42. Always wear clean underwear because

you never know when you might get hit by a bus .....

and it would reflect poorly on me if you ....

[Strong Atheist]

57. Lol! nt.

[evlbstrd]

43. Stop throwing the screwdriver at your brother.

And don't hit him with the phone, either.
Aawwww, Mom!

[Strong Atheist]

58. They never let you do anything fun ..... nt.

[TheProphetess]

44. "This, too, shall pass"

along with "Everyone has their own cross to bear"

Crazy shit like that. :)

[Strong Atheist]

59. Sounds... fatalistic .... nt.

[maveric]

45. "Dont be Stupid! Think!"

And always wear clean underwear and socks in case you are in an accident. You wouldnt want them to think that your mother is a pig who doesnt wash clothes.

Crazy, Cleanfreak, worriesome Sicilian Lady. She was so funny.

[Strong Atheist]

60. Sounds like she was a wonderful person ... nt.

[KitchenWitch]

47. Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons

for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup

[Strong Atheist]

61. Mother did not say that! I recognize that quote! It comes from...

which book?

[kwassa]

49. The 6 Ps: Proper Planing Prevents Piss-Poor Performance

Shocked me when she said it.

[Strong Atheist]

62. Yeah, my parent didn't swear either... nt.

[MrsMatt]

50. "Don't hate"

In response to some teenage declaration of disgust (i.e. "I hate my hair!"). And always in a very pained voice, as if it hurt her deeply to hear her children espouse hate, even over trivial things.

[Strong Atheist]

63. Sounds.... very quaker... sounds good. nt.

[Fox Mulder]

51. life is like a box of chocolates...

A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So your stuck with this indefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast and the taste is...fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box...filled with useless brown paper wrappers.

What'd you think I was going to say? :D

[Strong Atheist]

64. Don't tell you-know-who ... nt.

[cfield]

65. He's pro life so I can't vote for anyone else

Or something to that effect. I heard it all the time growing up and to this day, hearing those words makes me madder than just about anything else when it comes to elections.

[Strong Atheist]

67. Why couldn't she secretly vote for whoever she wanted? nt.

[cfield]

72. 'Cuz she wanted to vote for the pro lifer

Didn't (doesn't) matter where they stand on any other issue, or where the other candidate stands on any other issue. With John Kerry? "He's pro choice. I'll never vote for a pro choice man."

"Mom, he may be classified pro choice, but did you know that he's not in favor of abortions? He doesn't agree with them. He just doesn't think he has any right to tell someone if they can or can't have one. He might tell you you shouldn't, that it's wrong, that you have other options, but he doesn't have the power to tell you you can NOT have one; even though he doesn't want you to."

"Well, Bush is pro life so I won't take my vote away from him."

"He's pro life? But he sends innocent Americans into Iraq for NO REASON to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians (have to specify civilian because it's okay if we kill Iriqi army men :eyes roll: )!?! How is that pro life? And he lied to us to get us to agree to it!"

"Cindy, you know how I feel about abortion and that's what matters."


Fucking bitch! The truth is right there, I'm feeding it to her, and she DOESN'T CARE!

[Strong Atheist]

80. Ah. I misunderstood your original post. Sorry, slow today...

So, is she a (sorry) fundie?

[cfield]

96. Ummm,

yes :cry:


All thanks to my dad who has brainwashed her to think his way is the only way and if he says it, no one better dare to go against it. He just LOOOOVES me now that I've seen seen the light. Not!

[Strong Atheist]

99. Sorry about all that. You can chose your friends, but you cant

chose your relatives, and if they are close, you're stuck with them ...:hug:

[windlight]

66. you should marry a country girl...

Not realizing that she was talking about THAT country girl.... now some 15 years later i have realized who she was talking about and that country girl and i are happy together.. (not married)

73. The Lord loves sinners, but he _loathes_ polyester. (nt)

[Strong Atheist]

77. Hmmmmm .... nt.

[Heidi]

85. Exactly.

She's a smart-aleck. (And more of an atheist than she'd ever admit to us "kids" and our southern Baptist dad. While she relented and allowed us to attend church with dad, we weren't allowed to wear polyester.)

[Strong Atheist]

86. "weren't allowed to wear polyester". I see. Priorities ... nt.

[Heidi]

87. Well, she couldn't have us _look_ like Baptists. (nt)

[Strong Atheist]

89. looking like Baptists was bad? nt.

[Heidi]

93. Never mind.

:eyes:

[Strong Atheist]

94. ?

:shrug:

[Heidi]

98. Call Me Wesley just told me

that your cat is really sick. I love our Wiley and Excellent Cat Named Ginger very, very much, and if you don't mind, I'll send ya'll all the good vibes possible. I don't believe in a big ol' white-bearded guy-god in the sky, but I do believe in the power of collective consciousness. Maybe it won't help, but I don't guess it'd hurt either. :shrug:

P.S. If you ever wanna know my issues with southern Baptists, send me a PM. :pals:

[Strong Atheist]

101. Ah, thank you. I was just afraid that I had pissed you off

somehow.

Whew!

:pals:

[Heidi]

102. Ah, my friend, it takes a lot more than a Strong Atheist

to piss me off. I was a "good Baptist girl" for 18 years and a public journalist for 25 years after I recovered from being Baptist. If you're interested, I'll try to find an article that I've been hanging onto, that proposes the theory that "god" is truly a series of 1s and 0s . . . binary code.

Edit: I forgot the hug. :hug:

[Strong Atheist]

104. No thanks on the article, but thanks for the

:hug:

I may PM you about the other story some time in the future....

not now ....

You're _always_ welcome to PM me. :cry:

For your viewing enjoyment, proof that there is no god (the Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger, preparing to pounce a very expensive sable paintbrush. :cry: )

84. Parents are always against the fun stuff for some strange

reason ...

[RumpusCat]

88. You have to eat a peck of dirt a year to stay healthy

She would say this if she dropped food on the ground (a big fan of the 5 second rule, my mom).

She also says, "We're off like a herd of turtles!" when we're leaving to go somewhere.

[Strong Atheist]

90. "Off like a herd of turtles!" ROFLMAO! nt.

[JVS]

91. It's like my mom says,"The weak are always trying to sabotage the strong."

[texas1928]

95. If everyone jumps off a bridge would you?

Probably...

[Strong Atheist]

97. Well, Dilbert said that if there were proper precautions,

and everyone reported liking it as in his skateboard example, then he probably would ........

He won that argument with his mother ...
