Pearls of wisdom

Recommended Posts

I was reading a thread in 'chickens' about pumpkin seeds being a natural wormer for chickens and it reminded me that cherries are reportedly a natural headache remedy. Although I know nothing about gardening, I was told that the cherry tree was related to the same tree (willow) we get aspirin (salacylic acid) from.

 

Does anybody else have any 'pearls of wisdom' to share?

 

:D

Brown Rice is very high in B Vitamins, so is great for PMT and is a natural anti depressant. Chilli is also a great natural anti depressant.

 

So if you are feeling hormonal or down, then a curry with brown rice is the way to go :D

 

Your post made me smile because it reminds me of that sketch in Armstrong and Miller when several people in suits are walking down a corridor barking facts at the one in charge

:lol::lol:

 

I love chilli. No pearls of wisdom though :?

Major you are so enlightening :D

 

Ahh...I like that CN :wink:

 

There is only one thing that I really wanted to do today and it was to send someone a text message .. but I have no credit :oops:

Teenage life is so important :lol:

To be fair though, I have done some worthwhile things...and I plan on doing some more.

 

Wow...I like it when the talk gets all philosophical :wink:

From Terry pratchett-

 

 

'Miss Tick sniffed. "You could say this advice is priceless," she said. "Are you listening?"

"Yes," said Tiffany.

"Good. Now...if you trust in yourself..."

"Yes?"

"...and believe in your dreams..."

"Yes?"

"...and follow your star..." Miss Tick went on.

"Yes?"

"...you'll still get beaten by people who spent their their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy. Good-bye."'

I'm another one who says 'Life's too short' a lot! It is true, though - is it really worth getting worked up about the man who cut you up at the traffic lights or the shop assistant who was rude? There are more important things in life.

 

I love that one from the Buddha, OSH - I might copy that out and stick it up somewhere to read when I am feeling stressed.

 

Another favourite of mine 'it's not the things you do that you regret, it's the things you didn't do'. Phone a friend when you think of them, go and visit someone you haven't seen for ages, go for a walk when the sun is shining even though there are chores to do, or tell someone you love them. You never know when there will be another opportunity.

Also, especially in my line of work (driving) I like;

'Rather an hour late in this life, than a minute early in the next!'

 

My driving instructor always used it say that (well he used to say better late in this life, than early in the next - didn't set timeframes :wink: ), and even though I have been driving 18 years now, I still use it myself.

 

Another one from my Nanna was "Buy cheap, buy twice", she always thought it was best to go for quality :D

My Dad always used to say 'they don't put pockets in shrouds' if anyone was dithering about a significant purchase.

 

My Mum used to say the exact same thing added to you might as well spend it while youv'e got it they dont have pockets in a shroud :lol:

I wonder if they are/were in the same age range or is it a northern thing scots in my case :think:
