minnieme2: Good ones jenny! :)


You have me thinking of all the expressions and saying I use without thinking...I constantly say to my 12 year old, you eat me out of house and home...If ever asked if I saw the late late, would normally say no, that would be a fate worse than death...The odd item I may have been offered that didn't have a legitimate paper trail, is that off the back of a truck...I called One Direction a flash in the pan when they first made it big, how wrong was I lol...And I regularly tell my other half when he tries to get smart or acts like a know all with me, if I forgot everything I knew I would still know more than ya...

Not so positive maybe but can be true:

It's the loud laugh that speaks the vacant mind
or
Empty vessels make most noise

My mother heard these from nuns at school.

Some people can see a small ant across the ocean yet they cannot see a big elephant nearby.

Some people are born to be seemingly to know everything about others but they forgot their own flaws.
