It's a pun on the words for and fur, which are often pronounced identically. <br /><br />salemslot9https://www.blogger.com/profile/07661640429528005183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-15090953017448854092016-12-15T17:08:12.013-05:002016-12-15T17:08:12.013-05:00Oh forgot to say my daughter said her husband ask ...Oh forgot to say my daughter said her husband ask why about something and she told him Cat For To Make Kitten Britches. He ask her what that meant. She said she didn't know I always said that. She ask me what that means and where did I get it. I said my Mama used to say it.

I remember a trip from San Antonio to Cedar Park in the middle of the night when I was thankful my gas tank was full. We had a neighbor growing up named T.P. Miller. Everyone called him Tippy. When he went into the service they insisted he had to have a real name so he named himself Thomas Preston.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-38205500983463391232016-12-14T23:21:45.183-05:002016-12-14T23:21:45.183-05:00i used to go by the first two intials of my first ...i used to go by the first two intials of my first and middle name. i am also quite familar with carbon copies. used to be in charge of the copy machine when i volunteered at my daughters school years ago.

I'm not QUITE as bad as Tom, but I grow nervous at 3/4's.<br /><br />My g'ma in Minnesota had a 'party' line. How cross she'd become, discovering I was grabbing at the phone every time it rang ... and yes, covering the mouthpiece. Heck, back in the early 60's we kids had to invent our own fun.<br /><br />Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-51930535423800708302016-12-14T20:49:45.828-05:002016-12-14T20:49:45.828-05:00A cousin goes by RJ and my youngest brother though...A cousin goes by RJ and my youngest brother thought his name was 'Gitwood' til he was 12. It's funny still. My Grams always said to plant my garden in a full moon but the one I live by is Use it or loose it but don't abuse it...she said it all the time about all our bad joints. Dad would say to put my head in the flank of my milk cow and she wouldn't kick me. It worked. And he'd say, You're never too tired to go to church on Sunday. so we did.<br />Love n' hugs from up north where it's still below zero with wind chill to minus -33 degrees tonight...now that's bitterDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-62724739387720661662016-12-14T10:55:22.725-05:002016-12-14T10:55:22.725-05:00I had to delete my comments because I left out a w...I had to delete my comments because I left out a word which is not unusual I am getting there....will try to comment one more time.<br /> shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-58750826245317243202016-12-14T10:52:03.794-05:002016-12-14T10:52:03.794-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-39309013020320222182016-12-14T08:20:43.321-05:002016-12-14T08:20:43.321-05:00I remember my parents saying to stand up straight ...I remember my parents saying to stand up straight and not hunch your shoulders back when I was a teen. I have learned on my own to keep that gas tank halfway full. It does come in handy. My youngest son is fondly nicknamed Bub. No initials for nicknames here but some are pretty funny. Hope you have some sun and warmth there. It's very cold at 14 degrees here this morning and the weather man says with the windchill out there it only feels like 2 degrees. BrrrChill!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-29779845846617904422016-12-14T06:29:01.167-05:002016-12-14T06:29:01.167-05:00I had a friend who grew up thinking his.

It beats some of the names I see these days that parents are naming their kids. Its like they just stream together any letters to come up with the most unusual names I've ever seen. My mom would always say if you go outside with wet hair, you're going to catch a cold. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
