When dealing with F***WITS. "I've got the memory of an Elephant & the Patience of a Rabbit Trap".
"It's a long ole road that has no turning, & good things come to those who wait, especially for people like me in regards to Dickheads like you."
When someone says “You are so lucky”, (perhaps referring to my home, my vehicle, my life, whatever….) my favourite response is “… and the harder I work the luckier I get”.
Two men looked out from their prison bars. One saw mud, the other saw stars.
 
"One second at a time, one moment at a time, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time" because we cannot live atny faster than that, this little saying is my coping mechanism when I am overwhelmed or depressed, it has helped me back from some very dark places.
Those are very wise words. My Aunty Vi used to quote a song that said just that I believe it was 'One Day at a Time'. I never thought about them till I grew up but it's so right. Also the saying 'Take notice of the little things, because tomorrow they will be the big things'.

When I was a kid I would say "I can't do this ". Dad would always reply " There's no such word as can't.
Then he would always reply "If first you don't succeed try, try, try, and try again.
Words I was brought up on and I am very grateful for the life lessons he taught me.

l heard that too ''There's no such thing as can't you either will or you won't'' and 'Don't cry over spilt milk''

So she never finisheded? :sneaky:
Yes, she always finished, Mum in law was one of those people who could do anything from the finest embroidery to full furniture renovations and knocking down walls to make a bigger sunroom. I meant it was pretty accurate because if she did something in haste, it was not to her liking, so she went more slowly and made it a good job.
