Prayers and thoughts

"God will teach you."

“It is what it is.” It’s saying nothing with a sound.

It's a word, not a phrase that I despise. When men loudly and repeatedly say "f-ck" in public. This is crass and offensive. I wince, particularly with children and older women nearby.

Asking a strange man to stop loudly saying "f-ck" usually results in an angry verbal attack. ("You f-cking bitch!" Don't tell ME what to do!" ) Only one young man apologised.

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...

"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?

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!"
