"He walks like a horn toed rooster."

I've got a bunch of them somewhere written down in the late 60's. The ex's parents were Georgia from Tennessee and Jimmy from Georgia. The both grew up near the state line. Could not have had better in laws, too bad about their daughter turned out to be a POS.

Sorry, I can't say either one of those sayings in my 2nd favorite. Mine evolve and revolve. What's this all about anyway? Something about a favorite saying thread biting the dust?

My fav is the f word. My 2nd is to just add the word you.

I have a 8"x5" notepad with 18 1/2 pages of quotes I have heard and thought were worthy of recording. Average is about 7 quotes per page.

Some are things I heard said in a movie or TV show like......"Someone left the door open and the wrong dogs came home."

Others are more profound....."We all march to our own drummer."

I remember reading somewhere that keeping a daily diary is healthy for one's mental state. Maybe that is what I am doing here in my own way. I dunno.....

"We all march to our own drummer".......

I just remembered a very old but timely expression:

"If you can't say something nice about someone don't say anything at all"
