My hardtack secretary use to tell her kids, when they did something excessively dumb,

"If you don't want what you got you shouldn't have done what you did".

 

[SLHawkins]

1. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are

2. A mouse is small and can go unnoticed: but there is no limit to what a brave heart and a fearless spirit can achieve. Brian Jacques

3. Retrosexual-A man who adopts the traditional style in dress and manners.
Think of him as the anti-metrosexual, the opposite of that guy who emerged in the 1990s in all his pedicured, moussed-up, skinny-jeans glory. That man-boy was searching for his inner girl, it was argued. The retrosexual, however, wants to put the man back into manhood. Lini S. Kadaba, Philadelphia Inquirer, Apr. 7, 2010

4. In nature there are neither rewards or punishment; there are only consequences.

That's a beauty.

I keep being reminded of favourites:
In response to "the Early Bird gets the worm" I sometimes find myself saying "but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese!"

I think this is my own:

"There is ALWAYs something."

This is used after talking about the latest problem that has popped up and needs to be fixed.

I said, "There is ALWAYS something." on Sunday morning after I thought I could go outside and do some chores so early in the day. Then I noticed we had network issues that took a couple of hours to deal with. There is always something.

When I work on a particularly icky problem, I am very likely to start talking to myself. Well, at least mumbling. People will overhear my conversation with myself and tell me that I am talking to myself. To which I reply, "Yes, and it is the best conversation I have had today." :laughing:

Unfortunately, "There is ALWAYS something."

Later,
Dan
