My ex got the 'lectric knife, don't miss it, I kept the English butcher knife, much better.

Never did throw anything out around our spread...'cept Trinity.  Pa said we couldn't afford to feed him anymore.

But did he have to do it in the middle of the blizzard?


I've heard Skosh a time or two.


Now, here's a phrase that I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet.  It's one that is very seldom heard anymore...

"Made in America"

Maybe folks wouldn't worry so much about "hearing the pitter patter of little feet" if more things still was made in America.

I can remember when I was just a kid, checking stuff out to see if it had a Made in Japan sticker,  didn't want none of that Japenese junk back then. 
things have changed in that dept.

One of these days, mark my words, this country is gonna regret sending our manufacturing capacity overseas........Buck

I think yer right about that Buck,  I sometimes just wonder what it'll be like when our grankids get out age, could be bad news


and that mark my words,  used to one of ma grandma's favorite threats.

[Arcey]

My grandma used it a bunch.

'Mark my words, you're going to land up in jail!'

She was right, of course. But I was just visitin'.

[Trinity]

The first place I ever heard "Mark My Words" was on a cassette tape of "The Ugly Duckling".  It was part of a cassette/book combo I had when I was four.  I remember getting the biggest kick out of that. 

Don't ask me how I remember stuff like that.  I can't remember conversations I had yesterday, but I have memories (and not at all aided by photographs) as far back as three years old (moving around a lot allows a person to pinpoint time frames. ).

Couldn't pour pee out of a boot if the instructions were on the sole.   I use that one a lot at work.

[Ozark Tracker]

thought of one today as I drove by the gas stations,  used  to be on Friday night we'd say let's put a couple of dollars of gas in the car and go drag main.  nowdays I don't know if you could squeeze and let off on the gas handle before 2 dollars worth came out.
