Pig here, been trying to think of something to write about for this weeks blog (yes, pigs do think). After all of the tongue lashings I received from all of the “ladies” (and I use that term LOOSLEY) out there for the past couple of blogs, I was informed to take it easy the next time around. I do have to say that ‘to take it easy’ is a hard thing to do when you are short, fat and people keep trying to eat you. But I will do my best.
I was going through some old stuff of mine and I found this list of advice I had gotten from an old farmer I once knew. He was a simple man, never made much of himself, he never flashed anything around. He was a just good, well loved, family man.
An Old Farmer's Advice:
* Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong. *
* Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.*
* Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.*
* A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.*
* Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.*
* Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.*
* Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.*
* Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.*
* It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.*
* You cannot unsay a cruel word.*
* Every path has a few puddles.*
* When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.*
* The best sermons are lived, not preached.. *
* Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.*
* Don't judge folks by their relatives.*
* Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.*
* Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.*
* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none.*
* Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.*
* If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.. *
* Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.*
* The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.*
* Always drink upstream from the herd.*
* Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.*
* Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in..*
* If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.*
* Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.*
* Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.*
Good words to live by
