What are some of the sayings that your mom left you with?
It's hard to lose our mom, so sorry to hear. It's wonderful you give her a tribute by remembering her words. A few of mine that I recall:
you're special~
love you~
you're not going anywhere dressed like that~
things happen for a reason~
be yourself and nobody else~
we'll discuss this when your dad get's home~
shoot for the stars~
only you can make your dreams come true~
Sorry to know your mother passed away so recently. My mother has been gone for 13 years now.
I thought I was going to be able to think of some things my mother "always said", but I don't think she said a lot of sayings. When we were little she did a lot of singing in the kitchen. ("If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked A Cake" was a frequent one. ).
It kind of makes me laugh, though, to realize that my mother was big for the saying about giving people rope and letting them hang themselves.
Apparently, she wanted a lot of people to "hang themselves" Sorry to hear of your loss too
Gosh I was only 13 yrs old and I can still remember my mums sayings lol
"Theres good an bad in every race"
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me" (debatable that one mum)
"Every hour before midnight ,is worth two after" ( her wisdom on why I should be home an in bed) lol
"Dont care was, made to care'!
"Wait til ya father gets home"I didn't get the one about "you are not everybody else". My mother's version was more direct (and hostile): "I don't care what anyone else does." (Often followed by something along the lines of, "If her mother wants her to look like a little tramp that's her business.")
Ooh - I remembered one (while I was thinking of something else
):
My mother was fairly along in years when she heard (and started to use over and over and over again): "What goes around comes around." That one must have had particular impact on her.
(I have to say, though, that I've seen a lot of times when what goes around never does come around. I've been waiting for several things to come around, and so far it isn't happening. )- ralwusposted 14 years ago

Actually, I had tremendous respect for my mother; and we had tremendous closeness between us. I may have felt like saying, "Duh", but there's no way I would have.

"Your such a bitch."
"Your a rotten child."
"What is wrong with you."
"No wonder no one likes you."
"What did you do this time."
"I love you... even in you are rotten."
Still love her though.No, I still love her.
"Sometimes I wish I had never had you"
"if your head wasnt attached, you would loose it"
and my personal fav..."You couldnt possably have been trying, if you tried, you would have done it!!!"
My husband and I are saving up, to build her an apartemnt on our property, cuz she seems to be showing early signs of alzhiemer's, I want her to live with us, she is my mother after all.LOL Why is that I love you girls? Cause you obviously are the love
aww.
good morning misha!! how are you?
Awwwwww, motherly love, ain't it great.
My personal favorite:
'You'll grow up to be a pervert and a rapist' (upon finding my porno stash).
She was half right, I'm no rapist but I do like sticking an orange in my mouth whilst dribbling hot wax over my nipples, lol.
"Boobies are the work of Satan!" hehelol, nah it's all good, I think she was wrong anyways, Boobies are one of the few things that make me believe that there might be a God, and that he was responsible for them.
lol, yeah the old, 'my cock fell out of my pants accidentally' routine. Supermarket security never believe me when I try using that one.
After she tucked us in and kissed us at night, she always said, "Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite." (Hmmm...now that I think about it, that was kinda creepy!)
And then there's the infamous "There are only 2 kinds of people -- those that are Irish and those that want to be."- mtsi1098posted 14 years ago0
Tom.....WHO PAINTED THE CAT? >>>AHHHHH!!!!!!
Tom.....When you bring sleazy girls home...tie them up on the front porch!
Tom....Are you hungry, son?Hey Davinagirl, I'm sorry for your loss.
My mother says to me often;
"One day at a time Megan...and one step at a time." (very helpful when you are like me, suffering from IBS because of stressing out for nothing
"It takes all kinds to make up the world" I always loved this one because it reminded me that we are all here for a reason and not one of us is better than the other, whether we be doctors, or garbagemen.
"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, Megan" Heard this one often when I had my first child and was scared of everything (tylenol, SIDS, soothers, blankets, food, EVERYTHING)
Those are the three biggest lines for me, gotta love mommies eh?

my mom was too busy talking to everyone else
yet I always (still to this day) wish she would have, could have imparted just a little to me and so for my daughter I have always tried to sprinkle a little saying here and there. . .
A few of my favorites . .
"Patience is a Virtue"
"Be Careful what you wish for lest it come true"
Never say "I Can't" and replace it with "I CAN try"
"Anger is one letter away from danger"
"Never look down on anyone else.. . unless of course you are helping them up."
"What the daughter does, the mother did"Oh, I also had the clean underwear story. There must be a lot of washing of underwear going on
Good morning wmn
I am good, how bout you?

A Great Movie that you hated but everybody else loved:
Movie critics, as well as regular people hold certain movies to be great. All your friends loved it. You think to yourself, 'I hated it.' And wonder if maybe you just missed something important. Citizen Kane is often held up as the Greatest American Movie Ever. Sorry. I hated it. So what...
