Some of the stuff my Grandma said had merit. Some of the rules have changed, and I wonder what she would of thought. Of course, she had a lot more to say than this, but these were the one's I thought of first.
Always put your drawers on standing up, helps you keep your balance your whole life.
Think whatever you want, nobody can read your mind.
Always nod your head when a man tells you what to do, and then do what you want anyways. If it turns out good, he’ll take the credit anyways.
If a crow pecks at your window, somebody’s going to die
Learn to cook
A man thinks he knows how to have sex; he doesn’t, you got to teach em how. If you don’t work up the nerve, then you’re a fool.
If you stick to the truth, you’re always ahead even when you’re not.
Stand up tall, then your always ahead.
A man hits you once he’s gonna do it again.
Coffee always tastes better at night with a cookie.
Work hard, it won’t kill you.
Never be sassy with people who work hard for a living, your no better than the girl serving you a coke or the man getting your gas.
.
If it rains when the sun is shining, the devil got hold of a good soul.
Stay away from people who talk bad about other people. They will do it to you too.
Grandma's wisdom remains true today. :)

true, true, especially the last one. and teaching men about sex -- same goes for teaching them how to kiss; though some of the stupider ones don't learn no matter how many times you strike them over the head and tell them they're doing it wrong, that it's not appealing to kiss a dying eel.
btw, speaking of coffee (bad segue), i did finally have the strawberries & cream at starbucks. it was yummy, thanks for the suggestion!

"Don't spit in the water because you might have to drink it someday."
Well, I don't because I would never ever want to drink of that water.
