This was an email I recently received, thought it was kinda funny, thought I might pass it along. :) <br /><br />An Old Farmer's Advice:<br /><br />Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.<br /><br />Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers at a distance.<br /><br />Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.<br /><br />A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.<br /><br />Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.<br /><br />Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.<br /><br />Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.<br /><br />Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.<br /><br />It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.<br /><br />You cannot unsay a cruel word.<br /><br />Every path has a few puddles.<br /><br />When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.<br /><br />The best sermons are lived, not preached.<br /><br />Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.<br /><br />Don't judge folks by their relatives.<br /><br />Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.<br /><br />Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.<br /><br />Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.<br /><br />Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.<br /><br />If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.<br /><br />Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.<br /><br />The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.<br /><br />Always drink upstream from the herd.<br /><br />Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from<br />bad judgment.<br /><br />Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin'it back in.<br /><br />If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.<br /><br /> Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Enjoy you life !

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.<br /><br />Might have to change my "signature to that one :)

I wish I had asked him more now that I'm at the age I have the questions and not the answers. <br />Tyme2fish - Great signature. We always said this about my Dad. "Dad is always right.
