Beth, that just reminded me of what my grandfather always said about my aunt and uncle - "They never had the 99 cents to make a dollar." SB, your grandpa's quote is too awesome for words! Is it allright if I use it? Any other brilliant quotes from your grandpa? I'd love to hear!

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) — Pennsylvania Republican Tom Ridge is taking direct aim at Rush Limbaugh, telling CNN's John King the conservative talk radio host can be "shrill" and uses language in a way "that offend very many."
"Rush Limbaugh has an audience of 20 million people. A lot of people listen daily to him and live by every word. But words mean things and how you use words is very important," Ridge, the former Homeland Security Secretary under President Bush, said during an interview airing Sunday on CNN's State of The Union.
"It does get the base all fired up and he's got a strong following," Ridge continued. "But personally, if he would listen to me and I doubt if he would, the notion is express yourself but let's respect others opinions and let's not be divisive."
The comments come in the wake of a war of words between Limbaugh and Colin Powell, during which the former secretary of state suggested the GOP's future was in peril if it went in the direction of the popular radio talker. Limbaugh quickly hit back, proclaiming Powell is part of the "stale, the old, the worn-out GOP that never won anything."
"Generosity. That was my first mistake." "Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us." "Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."

SB, I never heard that saying before, but I like it. This would be a great thread, don't you think? I remember a phrase my dad would use referring to those who drank too much. I always thought it was lame and really, as a young girl, never knew what it meant. He'd tell me to think about the meaning. As time went on, I think I finally got it.  I don't know where he heard it or if it's a well known phrase or not, but it goes like this: " You can tell the one who boozes, by the company he chooses...and the pig got up and walked away." Even a pig doesn't want to be in their company? Another variation of "be careful what you wish for" phrase. My father tells me that my grandfather, who had both my dad and uncle in the service at the same time said, "I only wish to live long enough to see both my sons come home." Sadly, it was literally days after the last sone came home, he died at 52 of a heart attack. My grandmother would always tell my dand and uncle "be careful how you wish for things." Can you imagine? I never knew my grandfather unfortunately. There are also some old Italian phrases I can't think of right now. Many don't translate well into English, but I'll see if I can think of a couple. TIS

My beloved grandmother,who is an awesome 98 years old, is in hospital. She fell and bashed herself up pretty bad. Broke her glasses,cut her face,blacked both eyes,broke some ribs....  She is in hospital on oxygen and the doctors say she is unlikely to come out.... She has had bad spells before and always comes round but it must be pretty hard to fight back at 98  Spare a thought and a prayer for her please guys?
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!

Wow, 98.  God bless her. Sometimes we tend to underestimate the strength of someone so old. My now deceased great grandmother was 92 when she slipped and broke her hip. To all of our amazment,this lady healed very nicely and continued to walk in our church's yearly festival. Good luck to her. TIS

Spare a thought and a prayer for her please guys? No need to ask, Yogi. Anyone who has any relation to you is in my thoughts and prayers, but especially for this grand woman!
