Advice from An Old Farmer

[The Manipulated ManParticipant 1856]

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered… not yelled.
Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
Don’t judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life… Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
Don ‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around..
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
Most times, it just gets down to common sense.

What happens when a man finally comprehends the cold and calculating thoughts that are going through a woman's mind, while her eyes are brimming with tears?

How I wish that weren’t true…

The answer is NO. “I could but I won’t”. Memini murum!

Always use the animals in your favor,

Dogs to alert you.

Goats to mow in places no mower can go,

Chickens to eat the ticks.

Rabbits to weed out the dandelions instead of herbicides.

Purple martins to eat thousands of mosquito by day and bat habitat to eat thousands of mosquitoes at night.

Pigs to unearth stumps as they hoof and snoot to dig out the grain you threw there, consuming all the earth from the roots and exposing the entire stump.

If I lived closer to the equator I would have an awesome aquaponics system raising vegetables on one side and tilapia on the other.
Here in New England a fish pond would freeze solid, and the only thing I can do with the snow aside from p~~~ing myself off slipping and falling is to go skiing on it.

Skiing is the ultimate pinnacle of lemons to lemonade!

And lets not over look Confucius as I understand he noted- Woman who sit on brother-in-laws leg makes it hard for sister.
And of course this pearl of wisdom- wife who put husband in dog-house soon find him in cat-house.
