Let Them Eat Saltines

Backstory: I dated brothers, years apart and rather unsuccessfully. When it was clear that things weren’t going to work out with brother #2, my mom consoled me with this gem of advice.

Mom: Let them eat saltiness
Mom: Saltines
Me: What do you mean by let them eat sardines?
Mom: Saltines. White bread crackers
Me: I still am not getting it. What do the saltines represent?
Mom: Let them eat cake was wrong but they need commoner food
Mom:
They need a bland, non exciting, non high maintenance woman. As Marie Antionette said. Let them eat cake. But I changed it.

Procrastination is Like Masturbation

Backstory: I was griping about getting information 3rd hand from across state lines.

You know this is why we always end up being in control.  We can’t stand for someone else to not ask all the right questions.

I saw a quote on facebook.  It said “Procrastination is like masturbation.  It feels good while you’re doing it but afterwards you realize you just f*$%!!! yourself.”  I thought it was wonderfully funny and so very appropriate.  (By the way, I realize this has nothing to do with the subject at hand but I wanted to share it with you.)
Love, Mom
