I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth

I was also not born with monetary delights.

I was born into a family that inculcated me with ideas. Those ideas are of a social nature, and not of the fittest.

One idea I particularly like:

Don't throw stones at glass houses unless those inside are sending bullets in your direction.

Any ideas you hold dear and near?

5. Not quite in the spirit of Yogi Berra....

They get seedless grapes by hiring tiny little men with vacuum cleaners to suck out all the seeds.

8. Thank you.

I needed that quote about people in glass houses. Don't ask, and I won't tell.

9. Here are my answers

I remember a saying my Great Aunt always used to use. She would say "Show me your friends and I will tell you what you are." It really is true from what I have seen. I used to love one of the other things she always used to say.....'Their taste is all in their mouth"!!!!! Now I think that is funny. My husband always gets a kick out of it when I say that. I miss my Auntie Kay.

11. This is my razor:

If you can't tell whether someone is acting out of malevolence or stupidity, assume stupidity.

And I've always liked Oscar Wilde's line that goes something like "Life is unfair and most of the time that works to our advantage."
