"I once played a computer at chess and it beat me.
We played kickboxing next, and I won." Ha! Ha! hope the new computer is, OK? I like these sayings, they bring back some good memories, very well done****kahpot

These are really good. You got me with the paying taxes with a smile. I've never heard that one. The amnesia one was really clever as well. I like these because you mix a little silliness and humor into the real gems. Great post. Gretchen

If you can get people smiling you can sneak in some important stuff, they hardly notice! I am writing some other stuff for a little while, I was getting tired of them. I have a bunch more though! You have been warned! Karen

Again, I'm really enjoying reading this. Thank you.

Silence is golden. Unless you have small children. (or a dachshund.)

Being sorry changes nothing unless you yourself change. (I used to tell my kids that saying you're sorry means you're not going to do it again.)

Karen, you have some really good one-liners in here. In order to be funny, you need a grain of truth, and you have it with these. So, I conclude, you may be right, but you're not far from it. Good work, Terry.

Thanks for the read. It is always appreciated. And the kind words were too. Got any quotes up in your brainy brain? Pass them along.Karen

These are all quite funny, but I guess I will leave this with this retooled piece:
When you talk you are repeating what someone else has said. When you are quiet ...you have something to repeat later. : )

Silence and small children is definitely a problem. Your list has been interesting, thought-provoking, and amusing. This was a good project to get others involved.

This has been fun, especially finding all the pictures. Thanks for the read. I have collected about six quotes, so they are not rolling in, but it is making people think, and that is a very good thing:-)

When my body worked as I wished I would definitely have gone out C&W dancing and raised a little hell. Friday the thirteenth has always been for me a play day. I miss being a stinker.:-)

Every one a winner and I can't disagree. Well, maybe, not too much holding hands. That can be a bit too needy for me:( I like the ones about staying quiet and doing nothing. I sometimes wonder about the point of all this reviewing. Why do we constantly need all this affirmation. Someone could just review and say "Yes, I've read it." Take care Debbie

I thought about doing a rant about how this place works and I work my heinie off to advance a story, and others just buy their place, but sounds like sour grapes. Karen

This is an excellent poem. I enjoyed reading it. Your presentation is very good, too. You also use descriptive words and colorful imagery that draw in a reader. i can relate to the joke at the end.

Best wishes!

Alexandra

Gems indeed.
I just don't know if I can come up with one hundred and fifty characters in review.
That helped, surely.
Good that your last one wasn't about Alheimer's, cause that's no joke.
Best wishes.

I had to go back and pull out a line I had already used. "Getting old ain't for sissies." I replaced it with, "I played chess with a computer once, it won.
Then, we played kickboxing, I won. :-)

reply by Wayne Fowler on 13-Oct-2023

I like it - kick boxing

reply by the author on 13-Oct-2023

It just struck me as funny, a guy being beat by a computer, muttering under his breath, about beating the box at some sport. Karen
