Happy new year 2023

[phenomlab]

With the new year looming, I wanted to first wish all members a very happy and prosperous 2023. In addition, I wanted to provide the below “Hillbilly Wisdom” as you’ll find that several of these do in fact align themselves to everyday life, and the policies on Sudonix.

Aside from one user who will remain anonymous (and whom subsequently received a lifetime ban), nobody has ever intentionally breached the usage policy of this site. However, I’d like to remind all users that common courtesy, respect for others, and a business-like ethic costs you nothing (very much like the usage of this platform). So without further ado, here’s the list of “Hillbilly Wisdom” - see how many you can relate to

𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦:

• Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight, and bull-strong.
• Keep skunks, bankers, and politicians at a distance.
• Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
• A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
• Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled.
• The best sermons are lived, not preached.
• If you don’t take the time to do it right, you’ll find the time to do it twice.
• Don’t corner something that is meaner than you.
• Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
• It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
• You cannot unsay a cruel word.
• Every path has a few puddles.
• When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
• Don’t be banging your shin on a stool that’s not in the way.
• Borrowing trouble from the future doesn’t deplete the supply.
• Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
• Don’t judge folks by their relatives.
• Silence is sometimes the best answer.
• Don‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t botherin’ you none.
• Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
• If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
• Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
• The biggest troublemaker you’ll ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every mornin’.
• Always drink upstream from the herd.
• Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.
• Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
• If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around.
• Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
• Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
• Most times, it just gets down to common sense.

I love this… the way that bankers and politicians are bundled in with skunks
