Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

"The world is neither Scottish, English, nor Irish, neither French, Dutch, nor Chinese, but human, and each nation is only the partial development of a universal humanity." - James Grant on founding the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights, 1862

See? No problem.

Anakin Skywalker: “Ray shields.”
Obi-Wan: “Wait a minute. How did this happen? We’re smarter than this.”
Anakin Skywalker: “Apparently not. I say patience.”
Obi-Wan: “Patience?”
Anakin Skywalker: “Yes. R2 will be along in a few moments and then… he’ll release us from the ray shields.”
[R2 comes skidding across the hallway and bashes into the opposite wall]
Anakin Skywalker: “See? No problem.”

Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith


OK, for all of you out there with witty words of homeschooling insight, bitter words regarding in-laws, and moments of “OMG you won’t believe what this kid just did”… I’m sorry. I took a couple of weeks away from blogger land and am now slogging through page after page after page of must-read blogs on my reader. I do this once a year, when the need strikes, and you’d think I’d learn by now. I am smarter than to be surprised by the result, but… well, I guess I’m not.

Seriously, you folks are prolific! Take a nap or something. Go shovel the drive way. Knit a pair of felted slippers. You southern folks are cold enough to need the additional exercise to help warm up, right? Give a girl some catch-up time!

  • Hey, I haven’t updated either of my blogs since like July. See how thoughtful I am?? :-)

    OMK – (uncalled for Jane Austen quote:) “Now that is what I call good breeding!”

  • Ami

    So when my muse stops by and er, shats upon my head, I’m supposed to say, “No, sorry, Muse-baby, Obi-Mom says I’m not to allow this today?

    I don’t know if I can do that.

    OMK – Well, if it’s really brilliant crap…

  • My muse is busy over at Ami’s house!! I tried knitting, and it did not go well..

    OMK – Perhaps making cookies then?

  • Heather

    so this is me, reporting in from google reader…. ;)

    OMK – Duly noted. Thank you for checking in.

  • I think I’ve been fairly quiet lately

    OMK – Your contribution to my sanity is much appreciated.

  • Ha! You’re so funny. Glad you’re back on. It is cold here. Too cold for much more than Irish hot chocolate, I don’t like coffee. ;-)

    OMK – Trip from the Great Frozen Midwest: If you drink enough Irish hot *anything,* you don’t notice the cold anymore.

  • Thought about not commenting, didn’t want to contribute to red eyeball syndrome, but what the heck! Glad you’re back!

    OMK – It’s good to be back!

  • At least we MOSTLY took our breaks at the same time…you think it’s like in college, when 2 roommates tend to get their cycles in sync?? LMAO!!

    OMK – Oh, the horror of linked cycles! At least with blogs, there’s no risk of anyone getting an eye gouged out in a high-octane estrogen event.

  • Well, how can I NOT leave a comment….
    Welcome back, btw…
