|  Your fences need to be horse high, pig tight and bull strong.
Keep skunks, bankers, and lawyers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considrably faster than a John
Deere tractor!
Words that soak into your ears are whispered... not yelled.
Meaness don't jes' happen overnight!
Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads!
Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It don't take a very big person to carry a big Grudge!
You cannot unsay a cruel or unkind word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway!
Don't judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time!
Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest trouble maker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every morning!
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgement comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgement.
Lettin' the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in!
If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some infuence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest up to G'd!
Best words I've read in a long time. What do you think? We have my friend Bub for this.

| |  Those are really funny! LOL! Thanks for sharing and my favorite one is:
" Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads! "
I think that is really true especially when someone did something to you with some bad intentions and upon knowing it you just forgive him or her and move on. It would really mess up his or her head... LOL!

| | That was one of my favorite because it is one of my favorite things to do. That and keeping silent when someone expects you to explode and all they get is a sweet smile!! | | | |

| |  Really? This picture is my father-in-laws pride and joy. We do a Threshing Bee when the wheat is ready. We logged over 500 people that signed our guest book, but we know there were so many more that came and went through out the day.
It really was a great event. We had the Lt. Governor, a Senator and someone's assitant there for speeches. Our local implement dealers brought up new equipment, had the church ladies serve a "lunch wagon" meal and our local 4-H group doing water, popcorn and pop.
So you make wood carvings huh? You sell them? PM me and lets talk. ;-)

| | Well, I was sort of surprised that it said bumble bee rather than honey bee cause bumble bees are slow and so docile they rarely sting. A fact I'm very glad of, having lifted up the side of an old collapsed shed under which was an enormous bumble bee nest. I didn't want to drop it down on them so had to reach desperately for a prop surrounded by thousands of bumble bees.
