truisms - Saying you have found true

[Roxie]

I know!  I'd just read the other thread!  Maybe he could add another credible saying, "the harder I work, the luckier I get."

DO NOT admire Bargemonkey, he has something seriously wrong with him!😂

The 6 stages of a major project:

1. Enthusiasm
2. Disillusionment
3. Panic
4. Search for the guilty
5. Punishment of the innocent
6. Rewards for the non-participants

Estimate how long a job should take under worse case scenario then double it, you will usually be fairly close. I have been reminded numerous times. :

It depends on who you send or contract to do the work!

It usually hapens when I get into a job I am not familiar with. I don't need somebody else to mess it up. :D

Don't trust anyone that would rather climb a tree to lie rather than stay on the ground to tell the truth. I worked with an outside sales guy like I'm referring to. What a lowlife.

The truth is easy. You don't have to remember what you lied about because you lived through the truth.

Many people just don't seem to understand that.

When I first was learning the mechanic trade, I was working at a heavy equipment dealer.  One day while working on a dozer side frame hammering on a punch trying unsuccessfully to drive something apart, the old guy to turned out to be my mentor walked by.  After stopping and watching me flail away away with a small 16oz. nail hammer he finally said "You know when you can figure out what size hammer to use each time, you will have mechanic-in pretty well figured out".  I didn't comprehend what he was saying then, but have since found the truth in that statement.

This pretty well covers my house building project.  :D

Good, fast or cheap pick two because you aren't getting all three
Used to say that a lot to potential customers when I was doing carpentry full time.

After keeping the 1 and 4 year old grand kids this one rings true:

Having kids is for the young. 

Love them to death but they can wear out a good set of grandparents!

My contractor buddy is fond of saying'"Don't you worry. We'll get this built(fixed) if it takes every dime you've got."

All bleeding stops. Eventually. From my EMT days. 

If you have a problem with everybody, everybody's probably not the problem.

   The way I heard it from a medical friend in Afghanistan was:

All bleeding stops. The goal of the medical community is to stop the bleeding before the heart stops first. :(

The problem with political jokes is that too often they actually get elected.

I wanted to say something relevant, but I don't want this to go to the restricted area ;) ;D
