    Anybody remember calling home to let family know that you were o.k. by making a person-to-person collect call for someone that your momma told you to ask for that didn't live where you called?

    When you came in and had some sad tale of woe,,, that Grandma had no sympathy for what so ever,
    She'd say, "Ohhh,,,,,,, bless your heart".
    In school: We learn lessons, and are given tests.
    In life: We are given tests, and learn lessons.


    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
    This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.

    I clocked my wife the other day...
    Really, I was taking a clock down and she was behind me. When I swung it around it hit her in the face. (no damage, no blood, no bruise, no scars) But it made me think, "does anyone know what we meant by "getting clocked" back in the old days.

    That is a good one! My Dad used to say back in the 50's when I was misbehaving: "I'm going to clock you in the head!"

    Growing up, I had my clock cleaned several times before I learned to pick my battles. Some times it's more important to judge his resolve more than his muscles.

    Hmmm, thinking the "cleaning his clock" thing may be a distant cousin to this one.
    When I was a little kid, my Dad was giving me a talk on dealing with bullies at school.
    His terminology was "don't start the argument/fight,but if he wants to duke it, "clean his plow". I just thought of that for the first time in many years, haha. It was an oddly freeing speech. I knew he had by back if it turned into real trouble, I guess.

    Wow,another old one came to mind. When someone passed in a shaky place or something similar, my Dad would shake his head and say "Speed on, brother"
    ETA, kind of unrelated, but when someone passed or went by with a boy/girl, man/woman sitting close together on the old bench seats, he would remark "I guess it takes two to drive that car"
