old wives tales

You can tell how harsh the upcoming winter will be by looking at a wooly bear catapillar..the black represents cold weather and snow, the brown represents mild weather... i found one in fall that was entirely black which would indicate a harsh winter... if the groundhog sees his shadow on February 2nd it means 6 more weeks of winter....... 3rd born resembles the milkman...

3rd born in my family was my sister. Come to think of it , she is kind of homely lookin'.....:laughing: :laughing::laughing:
 
Red at night sailors delight, red in the mornig sailors take warning. .. another weather related saying...
 
batteries

Also, battery cases used to be made out of porous rubber, and even metal...acid leaked out and conductivity between the concrete and case would drain voltage.

That would make since , i know any time my dad put on on the floor he would put cardboard or boards under it.
 
I told the air conditioner repairman my dog don't bite, next think i know my dog bit his ankle. My dog has never bite before , and i have to say the repairman was a bit of a tool.:laughing:

I never trust a human who doesn't like a dog, but I COMPLETELY trust a dog that doesn't like a human.

As for old wive's tales, I've always heard that you shouldn't wear white while fishing because it scares the fish. I NEVER wear white while fishing.

Well, then you don't know many service repairmen! I never trust anyone who says their dog never bites :lol: (I have the scars to prove it, and so do many of my co-workers). I go into a dozen stranger's homes per week, 4 out of 5 own dogs...Not that we don't like dogs, they just can't be trusted not to bite!

My cousin gave me their German Shepard because they had teased and abused him so much he attacked anyone that came around. After I had had him a while my cousin came down and he tried to attack him. I had gotten him to where he didn't attack anyone else. My cousin said "He doesn't remember me." I answered, "Yes he does. He just doesn't have to put up with it anymore."

Yep. Dogs remember , and they hold grudges to.
 
Duck walks into the drugstore, asked for some Chapstick.

"Will this be cash?" asked the clerk.

"No" the duck replied...."Put it on my bill"

Oh, and I have at least 2 ex-wives I believe had tails :yes:
 
Im very warm blooded. I hardly ever wear a coat unless it is below freezing. I can't count the times I have heard. "You'll catch a cold!" Hogwash. You don't catch a cold from being in cold weather. Old wives tale for sure.

But, you will impede your immune system as system resources are diverted elsewhere to stay warm.
 
"If your dog bites a stranger, consider them a danger"

Yeah, if you don't like someone, neither will your dog. I met a girl while walking in the park. She was with her 6mo German Shepard. She said her dog didn't like Hispanic people and she didn't know why. I didn't have the heart to tell it was because she didn't feel comfortable around them. A dog is instantly aware of a change in their owners emotional state, especially when it comes to fear.
 
Sorry to hear that

When i have a service man over now i put my dog in the other room , he really is friendly dog and likes most people and loves kids. He has even tried to get in the mail truck with the mail lady to go for a ride.
