Re: Old sayings or sayings from old folks
I am so glad to see you post that. My dad used that and it's one I use. I have never found anyone that has heard it before and they tell me must be my dad's own. Now I know
"You're swimming upstream" "Take the good with the bad" "Give them an inch they'll take a mile" Has no one posted this yet??? "Cheaper to keep her"
