Old Farmers Advice & Stephen Torrence

Hello Everyone,

I forgot where I seen this but I copied it and it's been in my drafts since July. I thought maybe it was time to publish it.

Old Farmers 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.

*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. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

*Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

That is really good advice if you ask me!

Yesterday I did Musical Monday with Miley Cyrus' 'Party In The USA' the video I posted was Miley's but there is another video that is my sister Emily's favorite. Jessica at Mommy to a lil lady[bug] left a link to it on my comments section so I thought I would post it. It is a young man, Stephen Torrence, doing Miley's song in sign language.




My sister enjoys watching his face as he is signing the song. When I was young my father started going deaf. I remember having a sign language book that I think our dad bought. Well anyway, my sisters and I did learn a little sign language but we never have used it with our dad. He never learned it. Now we just write on a notebook to him when we go see him. We did get to use it a little with our adopted uncles brother who was deaf. I remember signing with him and the signs we didn't know he showed us. It was fun learning and signing a little with him.

Well that's it for today. Until next time

Have a blessed day!!
