| Comments: My dad is just full of old sayings. I think my favorite
though is when we used to ask for things that were more that we could afford or
unreasonable he would say. "People in Hell want ice water, too." Many folks in
our part of the country say 'Take it easy.' when they are saying goodbye. My dad's
comeback is always, "I will take it any way that I can get it." Great Site!! |

grandmother's sayings. One that she used when we complained about our looks which never
really satified us but made us think. "Beauty is only skin deep but ugly is to the
bone." |

responsible adults you had to stay one step ahead to jog their memory. With my youngest
the last thing he was told as he went out the door on a date; "Keep a zipper on your
mouth, a padlock on your zipper and stay out of trouble" Think about it.. |

| Comments: Really enjoyed your site... heres a cute story for you,
it's kind of a "had to be there" but it was a moment in time that always makes
me smile when I think of it. As a hobby I do genealogy research. When my daughter was
four, my Husband and I took her on her first cemetery research trip. I was busy
transcribing tombstones, but not to busy to notice her lack of respect for the small
markers and headstones. Needless to say she was running amuck. I impatiently asked my
husband to please sit down and explain to our daughter where we were and how to act
respectfully. I kept working, but listening and thinking all the while, what a loving,
caring way to explain everything to her. He told her about family members that had passed
away, pointing out certain ones she would be sure to remember. She listened very intently
to all that was being said. When the lecture was over they both stood up, he with a sigh
of relief his job was done, and she just looked around with the most amazed look on her
face, then looked up at her Dad, and in a very soft and respectful voice said "So
this is Heaven"?' Needless to say they had to sit back down and restructure the
lecture to include "body and soul". |

| Comments: FAMILY TREES I climbed my family tree and found it was
not worth the climb; And so, I scampered down, convinced it was a waste of time. Some
branches of my tree, I found, were rotten to the core. And, all the tree was full of sap
and hung with nuts galore! I used to brag of kinfolk, that's before I made the climb, But
truth compels me not to tell of those not worth a dime. And I beg friends who boast aloud
of their ancestors great, To climb their family tree and learn of some wise people hate.
I've learned what family trees are like, I've seen them growing 'round. They're like a
'tater' vine because, the best are underground! |

table "Out of all the things I miss, I miss my mind the most." When I was little
(about 10 yrs. old) I spent a day with my grandmother spring cleaning. One day I said
"Grammie, this stain won't come off the table." She turned to me a said
"Well, put a little elbow grease (srub harder) into it" I then put the cleaning
rag on the table, placed my elbow on top of the rag and strarted to scrub. |

break at the out house and decided to share a few sayings, too. My great grandmother a
true Pioneer Texas "Lady", dipped snuff and didn't swear said this to a rather
rude young man as he left their porch. " Young man, when you get home I hope your
mother comes out from under the porch and bites you." Uncle Denny used to say, "
that man was so small if he was sittn' on a cigarette paper his feet wouldn't touch the
ground." From a Texas Girl a loooong way from home. |

contest" And the one my dad always used when the cat was sleeping on his favorite
chair: "That's what makes land high," referring to the price of 'territory' that
two individuals wanted to occupy at the same time... Keep smilin' -- Peg E from Arizona |

you're married". He was right too, as I'm still single. Or maybe he jinxed me .... He
also used to console my Mom, when the kids were being ornery, or the housework hadn't gone
right: "Marry me, and I'll take you away from all this." |

| Comments: Great Site! My husband was preaching in a small church
in Talkeetna, Alaska, when he got to the scripture he was quoting, which was suppose to be
"Our lives should be such that we shine like a light house", instead he said
"Our lives should be such that we shine like a out house" As if this wasn't
embarrassing enough for him, while fishing with friends a gentlemen walked up to the
group. Pointed to my husband and said "arn't you that outhouse preacher?" A
couple of weeks later the pastor of the church and his wife came into Anchorage and stayed
the night with us an he presented my husband with a model Out House that he had made to
celebrate my husband's mistake, on the side of it he put Matthew 5:16, which says: Don't
hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that
they will praise your heavenly father. We still have that Out House... |

| Comments: Enjoy~~ BEETHOVEN'S NINTH A genealogist in Vienna is
going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears some music. No one is around so he
starts searching for the source. He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from
a grave with a headstone that reads: Ludwig Von Beethoven, 1770-1827. Then he realizes
that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward. Puzzled, he leaves
the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him. By the time they arrive back at
the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the
previous piece, it is being played backward. Curious, the men agree to consult a music
scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward.
The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they
were composed--the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th. By the next day, the word has spread
and a throng has gathered around the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony
being played backward. Just then, the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group.
Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music. "Don't you get
it?" the caretaker said. "He's decomposing!" *************** One

and what a treat to get this OUTHOUSE address today. I've bookmarked it, and plan to print
it out. I was raised in the south and many of these humorous stories relate to my family
so much! Here are a couple that my daddy used to say: "Tighter than Dick's
Hatband!" (My question was who is Dick and what's his hatband got to do with it?)
Another was "Harder than a litard knot" I don't know that litard is spelled
right - it's a long "i". In Florida, the knots in pine trees were very hard, and
hard to burn - that's what it's referring to. Bye for now, Shirley |

branches of your family tree. Check out my Comic Relief link on my homepage. It isn't
genealogy but it's funny. Please sign my guestbook too. Byeeeeeeee 4 now. Glenda |

[background still with the words moving], they make me dizzy, like I was is in an outhouse
in a Wizard of Odd scenerio, whirling away to I don't know where. I like your stuff on
your page. Now I but the bad before the good, cause there ain't nothin' worse than
complement with but ending in "but". |

| Comments: Great sight!! My Uncle Bill Breeding's philosphy is:
"Live while you live, and die and be done with it." My Great Grandfather,
William Tipton said of carrying his gun, "It's better to have it and not need it,
than to need it and not have it." Keep up the good work here - it is wonderful. |

always say, Each mother crow thinks her's is the blackest. He also said, When you kids are
small they step all over your toes and when they grow up, they step all over your heart. |

| Comments: From the Hollows of Wva. Moved to Ind. My mother went a
srore and ask to buy stepins for her 3 girls, the lady said what!, my mother replied,
stepins, and raised the hem of my dress, and said, these, and the lady said Oh, you mean
panties. As a small girl I went to the store one day, and picked out some penny candy, I
ask the man, if he would give me a poke, He said why do you want me to hit you, I said I
dont, I ask him why would, and he said, you ask me to, I said I just want something to put
my candy in,so he gave me a sack. |

| Comments: "He'd worry the warts off a frog" Used when
someone is driving you nuts!! My grandmother also used to tell us when we were children
and wanted to touch something in her house we might break and we would ask her "What
is this?" Her response was "Layovers to catch meddlers". To this day I
don't have a clue what it meant except that we were in really BIG TROUBLE if we touched
it!! |

| Comments: Three references for you. Have you ever heard os someone
moving "like a turpentined cat". Refers to the fact that the product of pine
resin has a burning effect on the feline community. Another one. I have been threatened
when a cousin and I would fight that "our tails were going to be tied together and
throwed over the clothse line". We were raised around all of the
family,grandparents,aunts and uncles.One thing we learned early was at Granny's house (or
anywhere else for that matter) was go in the front door, hug PaPa, kiss Granny, and out
the back door.You could stay any where you wanted but in the house. We were raised on the
theory that children were to be seen, not heard; and seen from a distance. We were not
allowed to stay around the adults and ask questions (this is on visits not at home) and we
also learned early not to be "bored". There was always something to be done. |

| Comments: My mother often would get herself in a "verbal
pickle" by saying things faster than she was thinking so that her family had
hilarious fun at her expense and she enjoy it. The following two things come to mind. One
you have to remember the show called "Laugh In" on TV. One of the more popular
sayings from it was, "Put that in your Funk and Wagnall" which by the way, is an
encyclopedia set. She and my two brothers were arguing about something one day and mom
figured she won the debate flat out. She put her hands on her hips and with a very smug
and lofty air said, "Now, put that in you Black and Decker! My brothers came unglued
laughing so hard. Another: Mom was riding in the car with her son, David along a narrow
farm road when they came up behind a large tracker pulling farm equipment. They drove
along silently for awhile and finally Mom lost her patience and said, "Why don't they
put lids on the ditches for the farmers to drive on?" That's our Mom. |
