Up the creek is a local idiom. It means if someone is up the creek, they are in real trouble.
(That doesn't apply to you Tai Chi
)
Trouble has been following me everywhere lately. I need a better disguise.
Disguise means to modify your manner or appearance in order to prevent recognition. Do you think you can fool your family and friends?
Friends are people who will tell you the truth, but will do it in a nice and tactful way. They may often preface their remarks by 'To be honest'.
Honest to goodness thing or person is plain, simple, and exactly what they appear to be. I'd much rather have an honest to goodness steak than any of the fancy stuff 'spendi' cooks.
Cook's Tours- so successful and so famous at one time, that the phrase entered the language. It would have been wonderful at one time to take part in one of their tours, maybe to Egypt to view ancient sites like Abu Simbel.
Simbel is the Kurdish word for moustache. They say: No moustache, you woman.
Woman is a word that feminists prefer to lady or female. Words of this type go in and out of fashion.
Fashion is a feminine preserve. Men who employ it are always a trifle suspect.
suspect he may appear to be . why must we condemn him upon mere suspicion ?
Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.
Happiness is overrated. Better, perhaps, to be content.
Content as one can be am I. Why wish for the impossible dream.
Dream on, dude! These old catchphrases are so now-NOT! Or do I mean party?
Party or not to party, you usualy find there are two kinds of people , those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.
other than not being able to agree as to when to leave a party , they may have no other disagreements
.
they may indeed be very compatible .
Compatible auto-parts are what you need if anything is wrong with your wheels. It's no good getting Ford parts when you drive a Roller just because they both are called, say, brakeshoes.
Brakeshoes were recently replaced on our Ford. Funny -- I thought only the Flintstone car had feet.
Feet washing I witnessed on television at Easter time. Pope Benedict washed the feet of 12 men commemorating Christ's gesture of humility to his apostles on the night before he died.
Died with his boots on was a commendation for a worker or a soldier, but it's rather sad to think his whole life was about work. I hope to die with bare feet.
