Favorite saying

My wife and I were having a discussion and we came to a mutually satisfying agreement. I was reminded of this saying: “A good understanding is like the ‘whistle’ and the whistle always blows on time.” ( the “whistle” in reference here is the old fashioned factory whistle: the whistle starts the work day, blows for lunch, and blows again to end the work day, and the whistle is always on time)

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Just Want to Talk Support Group.

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
