Best advice your mom or daddy gave you...

[Juanita]

My brother and I were walking through woods with two cousins. We were young. Andy stubbed his toe into a yellowjacket nest. I think we bent every sapling beating those bees off until we got back home. Mom pulled out the stingers she could see. Then plastered us down with baking soda. She said: an alkaline will neutralize an acid. Actually, tobacco works well. Daddy didn't smoke.

Be good to people, and practice what you preach. If you claim to be something (which he was speaking about being a Christian), then be it, and it applies to many things.

Dad: "Just because you have the money to buy it, it doesn't mean you can afford it."
Mom: "Why don't you consider majoring in engineering? "

It’s unfortunate, but I recently lost them all in a boating accident

Never start a fight, always finish one…..can’t say I always followed the former

My parents taught me that if someone was paranoid about others - stealing from them, being dishonest, etc., it usually means that person is the same way. I’ve remembered that as I’ve gotten older and always seems to be true

So in theory, these yahoos that run around here calling me a Georgia fan, are deflecting their true feelings?!! I thought as much!

My brother was in high school. First job at Sears. He was spending all his money buying albums. I heard Mom tell him: son, you have to learn the difference between needs and wants.

I have really thought about this a lot in regards to Dad over the past month and a half. A couple good ones:

"We are all a couple missed payments away from living in a box, don't judge someone's situation."

"Don't take yourself too seriously, no one else will."

"Don't drink tequila when you're mad about something."

A gem from my mother: "Want in one hand, and crap in the other...see which fills up first." It's true.

Good grief! I just looked back at this thread title and saw I typed in the verb "advise" instead of noun "advice." Don't know how to change it. Oh well, as they say, you can't fix stupid.

if you have good grades you don’t have to get a job at 16

I had to get a job at 16, my sister didn’t

Be the shepherd, not the sheep

 

[Vol Farmer]

My Daddy always told me to try and learn one new thing every day.

 

[LouderVol]

"Keep your butt behind you." Essentially dont get ahead of yourself, as well as some real life applicability.

"Thinking it through first solves more problems than fixing it after does."

"Be on time, be kind, be thankful"

"You can either get old doing something you dont like, or get old doing something you do like."

"Dont make time for idiots, which also means take time to not be an idiot."

 

[LouderVol]

"If you are a guest, dont turn your nose up at the food offered. It may be all they have."

If you want to eat and sleep indoors you better get your ass up and go to work.

Also my Daddy always said “it’s easy being nice to nice people “ great wisdom and advice IMHO

A few from Father Ferguson.

Give the helpless the length of your grace. Give the graceless the length of your arm.

Keep your spirits up and your voice down.

Idle hands are the devil’s workshop, and the world got enough ****-woodshop projects outta your friends already.

See that pigeon? He dreams of being great like an eagle, which is more than I could say for your mother’s brothers.

I had few chances. You got a few more than me so take ‘em. No one expects it from you. Expect from yourself! It don’t take a genius to be smart. It don’t take a priest to be good. It don’t take being some rich ****'s lad to be a success. Measure yourself with what you hold the line to and how much you're willing to give anything.

Be wary of grown men that call their dad, daddy.

 

[Juanita]

What about grown azz women?
