"God will teach you."

My father often used the phrase "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" I hated it then and I hate now.

Mom's phrase was "It takes two to tango," when cautioning me about premarital sex, in fact she drove me to this run down tenement in a nearby town one day and told me that is where I would wind up if I got a girl pregnant.

I was 20 when I finally lost my virginity, but it wasn't from lack of trying... summer of '65.

I did observe a ham radio friend of mine who really struggled because he found himself in a family way in a day when marriage was the only honorable thing to do. Yes, they struggled, but also got a college edulation, got to grow up with their kids, and are still happily married 55 years later! Maybe that's the exception...

Prayers and thoughts

History repeats itself
"...so..." to begin a sentence
"Absolutely" to reply to a statement or question

"It is what it is.”
No shit, what the fuck else could it be?

This is one of those meaningless things people say when they have nothing intelligent to say. If you don't have anything to say, why speak?

I try not to. Whenever I feel my eyes starting to roll I take a moment to practice kindness and putting myself in that person's shoes. I didn't always.

I wouldn't want anyone else's regard for or treatment of me to change on account of their attitude about some dumb verbal meme I said that rubbed them the wrong way. So I try not to do that to anyone else.

That doesn't mean I think I'm better than anyone, or look down on others for doing things differently. We're all in different places and it's all good with me as long as you're not being intentionally cruel.

At the end of the day.....basically....it is what it is.....thoughts and prayers.....

"I will pray for you."...speciaslly when they say this to you with a bucolic expression on their faces

God works in mysterious ways, I disdain that one. Should be more like god works in delirious ways.

"There is a reason for everything." "It is what it is." "Give it to God."

Get a life!

I Could care less.
Same difference.
Slow your roll.

Anything that "blows you away." I keep wondering where you're supposed to wind up when you wind up in the middle of away.

I agree. Sex is a shared experience and people are people, not cows. Women are not livestock as the bible would have us believe.

I despise the phrase “guard your eyes”. Women’s bodies are not a trap for men or vice versa. Respect for my fellow human tells me where my eyes should look, not fear of sinful traps.

"President" Trump

One? hard to say, but among the contenders: "it's god's will" and "it's in god's hands now." in some circumstances, i dislike "it takes time" because it is used to explain why something isn't happening. in most cases, "it takes WORK" is more appropriate. in japan, i taught a woman's group and when i brought up women's rights they'd tell me "it takes time." i'd respond, "then you'd better start NOW!"

Anything said just to piss the other person off especially out of the blue. God bless you to an atheist or invisible friend to a Christian. On the other hand sometimes tit for tat gets fun seeing who it more creative.

"have a blessed day".

I hate the phrase, "Jesus didn't exist." Ever time I hear it, I hear the same fundamentalistic notion as those who insist he was a god.

I'm getting pretty sick of conservatives constantly saying "ad hominem". Was there a conservatives meeting where their leaders all told them to use it at every opportunity? We get it you learned a big word.

MAGA

Man up
Grow a pair
You run like a girl

it's gods will.

"You're delusional"

My ex would use that everytime he was losing an argument or I caught him in a lie. The reason why I abhore that statement is that I do have mental health issues, however they do not impact my thinking/analyzing ability.
