The Cozy Corner

As Mothers Day draws in for a close or has passed for some I want to offer 3 pieces of advice I've gotten from my mom.
1. Go to college and make my own money
2. A good sandwich always starts with good bread or a good bun
3. You can get a man to change into nicer attire for a social engagement by simply saying: you're wearing that?

Dad was a construction worker and dressing appropriately for fancy occasions didn't come naturally for a while

Sage advice! The danger with me is that at weddings I risk outdressing the groom so point 3 is no issue for me. 😅 My friend said "don't you dare" and I showed her my suit and she nodded so I think we're good.

When I got my first good job my mom gave me great advice. She said, if there is something you really want you should wait ten days and if you still want it then buy it.

Your mom is a truly intelligent!

I lost my mother in my teens. I have amazing memories of her music performance, of her sewing and cooking abilities of her wisdom, and her fierce protection of her family. She taught me how to treat a woman; often using her own negative experiences as life lessons. She would make me take her out on a date and explain all the things a gentleman does and does not do. She taught me which fork to use first in a formal setting, and why we stop to listen to the world around us, and to appreciate beautiful things.

Two bits of her wisdom:

1. Never inquire about a lady's age, weight, gestational status, or contents of her purse.

2. Young man, if a person is born female, they may be a girl or a woman by age but titles like lady or bitch are earned!
 
I had the same relationship with my dad. Still quote his wisdom regularly. ❤️
That's awesome! 🩷 I quote my father regularly. It's not always wisdom. But it's most often funny 🤣😉

I'm sorry to hear about you losing your mother so young but it seems like she impressed a lifetime of life lessons upon you. I do agree with the bits of wisdom you shared! 🩷

Daddy was humor mixed with deadly serious. I am just sorry he passed without really ever telling me about his experiences during the Korean war.

That would have been amazing if he had been able to share his experiences from being deployed overseas with you. I'm sorry you never had that opportunity.
 
I can understand that and how it might be memories that are difficult to relive or share with others
Yes. Even when I was on jump status we rarely talked with non-jumpers about the danger, the fear we dealt with. That was reserved for our jump buddies so I do understand it.
