Glenn Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Ran across this in the archive from January 19, 2014 Anachronist58 Posted IForgeIron makes me smarter! Glenn, I have spent so much time reading posts on this forum, you might think that I am putting my marriage at risk. Almost 6 years you are still married and still on the site. You must have achieved a balance between the two. (grin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just shared that with my boss. I've noticed myself starting to use "Strike while the iron is hot" for its intended meaning. Like, if my lady and I are already having a difficult conversation, why not have another one? I'm already doing the dishes; why not clean the stove?

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I knew it is an old Irish blessing, but you put it down here. This is one I like about enemies. May those who love us, love us. And those that don't love us, May God turn their hearts. And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May he turn their ankles, So we'll know them by their limping.
