Good Advice and Sayings
There are a lot of catchy phrases out there, ones that have been around for a long time and will likely endure as long as people strive to live and write.
I’d like to go over a few of my favorites…
This can and will be adult material…
You have been warned…
You are what you eat.
Which makes you a dick, pussy, ass, meatloaf or pot roast just depending on the circumstances of your life.
Early to bed, Early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Yeah? Tell that to the Rolling Stones. Or George Straight. Or Willie Nelson… the list goes on. You get my point.
(Yes, I don’t have permission to use their names. I will pay them later if this blog becomes that big).
A stitch in time saves nine.
I don’t even know or care what the fuck that means.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Actually good advice, except you should be working for more than pennies and then investing pennies until you have all your pennies invested into something only to see that the thing you invested in went tits up and you lost everything and you lost all your pennies.
Maybe that one hit too close to home.
A penny saved is a penny earned is a penny earned is good advice.
I also like the phrase “going tits up” even though I have no idea what that means, either. I will borrow a line from a movie. “Who doesn’t like tits?” There’s a reason why there are billion websites dedicated to the tits. (This is another blog in the making).
I realize my words have been scattered. I ramble. I often write to make points. This time out has not been one of those times. I hope you see the humor in all of this.

You have to pay to use a celebrity’s name? WTF?
Not positive about that. I only hope it gets enough attention to be a problem.
Thanks for stopping by. Love your blog!
Well if it is…I hope a certain someone who starred in Prison Break shows up at my house to complain! 🤗
And thanks! Love yours too!
Welcome to the club!!! 🙂 ❤
What does 'Tits up' mean?
This is a 20th century phrase, probably of military origin.
There's certainly no mention of it in print prior to WWII.
It has been suggested that the term derives from the behaviour of aeroplanes' altitude indicators, which turn upside down when faulty and display an inverted 'W' resembling a pair of breasts.
There's no real evidence to support this speculation and it seems more likely that the phrase is just a vulgar alternative to the earlier 'belly-up', which has the same meaning.
'Belly-up' is an allusion to fish, which float that way when 'dead in the water'.
This expression was known in the USA by the 1920s, often related to bankruptcy or other commercial disasters.
Hope this helps!!! 🙂 ❤
