Sophia talking to Rose (Golden Girls), “Your heart is in the right place but I don’t know where the hell your brain is.

When greeting a friend who said “good to see you” my dad often replied “I’d rather been seen than viewed”
He also frequently told me “one thing I’ve learned, you come into this world using diapers, and if you live long enough, you leave this world using diapers”
And his all time great—he often related how poor his family was when he was growing up during the Great Depression. He’d say “we were so poor I only got one thing for Christmas, a pair of overalls with a hole cut in the pocket. That way I got something to wear and something to play with”🤭🤗
I sure miss him….

Daughter,

My dad only got an orange for Christmas. One year my uncle got a whistle and he got punished for blowing it! The good old days weren’t always so good.

My dad would always say that God helps those who help themselves. My sarcastic brother would respond with, “Well, then why do I need God?” Daddy would just shake his head and tell him, “God is always there for you, but He wants you to do your best.”

Years later my brother told my dad that God helps people who don’t help themselves. My dad said, “Yes, sometimes He does.” Lord knows that my brother was like a cat with 9 lives. Someone must’ve been looking out for him.

I miss my dad too, daughter. He was a kind soul.

I've posted it here already many times, but I love the story of a young cub reporter sending Cary Grant a brief message asking his age.

He said "How old Cary Grant".

Mr Grant replied "Old Cary Grant fine. How you?"

Anxiety,

After Cash died, his kids found a notebook containing tons of songs that he was writing and didn’t get to record. He was continually writing music. They took those songs and recorded them, so sweet.

When asked how are you, my grandmother would say still kicking, just not very high." If she didn't like the person or was mad at them, she'd answer "still kicking, and still high enough to kick YOU in the butt."

Anxiety,

Lennon has always been my favorite Beatle! I do love Paul and George too. Ringo, eh…He is smart enough to know to surround himself with very talented people!

The Beatles came to New Orleans when I was nine years old. The performance was at City Park and tickets were $4.00!

I begged my mom to go because I had seen them on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Mom told me that she didn’t want to go and be surrounded by all of the screaming girls. I said, but Mom, I want to be one of those screaming girls! LOL 😆 I didn’t get to go! 😞

This actually happened about 50 years ago...My husband's beloved ageing Aunt was a Mr Magoo type. One day she sailed right through a red light while driving and pulled up to a pump at a gas station. A uniformed policeman witnessed her running the red light , and he pulled his patrol car into the gas station right behind her car. He got out of his patrol car and knocked on her driver side window to get her attention. Oblivious, she rolled down her car window, leaned out, and said "just fill it up with regular."

K,

My mom said that too. I walked to school in the rain. I kind of liked it because I was the kid who jumped in all of the puddles! Good thing my mom was smart enough to put rain boots on me.
