I love it and will certainly "be back", as I have added it to my "favorites" list.

Comments: I have been researching my family tree for almost 15 years now and always took my little note book to all of our family reunions and asked hundreds of question and added new names every time. My first granddaughter Erica (age 10 at the time) always went with me when she was a small child. She heard the names Grandpa Butler and Grandpa Joe mentioned many times but never really paid much attention since she was always busy playing with her hundreds of new cousins.
One day as we were passing through the hometown of the Grandpa's I asked my husband if he would mind stopping by the cemetery. He asked, "Which one?" Since he was not familiar with the area I said, "You know the one where Grandpa Butler and Grandpa Joe is buried." At this point my granddaughter began to cry hysterically. I turned to the back seat and asked her what was wrong? She looked at me with those sad little eyes and broken heart and said, "When did he die and why didn't you tell me? Well, she was born in 1986 and Grandpa Butler died in 1929, Grandpa Joe died in 1946.

Comments:If someone didn't like something my Dad used to say, "Then don't swing on my gate."

I grew up 'out in the country' in Indiana and moved to California in 1964. I've lost most of my country accent, but to this day my friends razz me for my pronunciation of the words 'toilet and wash'...."I'm gonna warsh the torlet." Mom pronounced 'leg/lag' and 'fish/feesh', and til the day she passed away she'd tell anyone leaving her house, "Ya'll come back, ya hear?" I still love that saying!

As for remembering which month has 30 days...My Uncle Howard taught me to make a fist and 'count knuckles and valleys'. Each knucke represents 31 days and the valleys reprent 30 or (28-29 for February). It's fool proof!

Comments:my grandfather nicknamed "Gunker" And "Buster" use to say (simmerdown) to us tikes- back in the day.

My grandmother used to ask us kids if "we had ants in our pants" cause we were a bit rambunctious
and if some one said or did something stupid or jerky she would say- oh that so and so- he makes me so mad (oh, i could just brain 'em)
she also used the curse word (frigan) or (frigg) instead of the "F--K" word so commonly used today.

other saying include
isn't that the kettle calling the pot black
getin a little long in the tooth- meaning getin older
knee high by the fourth of july- reference to corn growing
a good face for radio
full of piss'n vinegar
ain't got no pot to piss in
hes a little lite in the loafers
queer as a three dollar bill
the cats pajamas
confirmed bachelor
olde maid
little tikes

those where somme of the good-olde sayings

Comments:I have sure enjoyed reading here!! I haven't laughed that hard in some time now. I have had my face pretty well glued to the screen as I browse through the state and County sites looking for the missing pages in my ancestry. I do remember something my Grandmother use to say and was told it came from her Mother.
When ever a child would ask, "Where are we going?" The response the child would get is, "Up Mike's Butt to see if his hat's on straight!" Just so happens, one of the surnames in my history is none other than, "Butts"!

Thanks again for the humor!

p.s. I have 2 family history books, I want to get out there. Including photos and stories. All of my ancestors live by the word of 'God', and spread out and sowed their seeds. They all believe in having large families and I see the surnames that are connected to my ancestory is amazing because they are still in existance today..They migrated for centuries and the lines are still migrating today. I want to help keep it free. And really don't know where to start, this is my first pc, I have been wanting to do this since the early 90's. the 1990's that is!!

Comments:I have tried everything I know to try, so I will try this site. My father came from the Bristol, Virginia area. His name was Cecil John Tolley. I have heard he has been dead for years. I would love to know where he is buried so that I can respectfully place flowers on his grave. He left when I was four or five and never returned home. I remember he was a very good-looking man. Many people told me he was sorry but I still refuse to believe it.

Comments:My parents called the trunk of a car the Turtle-Hull or the Cooter-Hull.
when I was a small child the sink was called the "Zink".
You Rinched your hands in the Zink!
You lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
My grandmother referred to her cousins as Cuddinz, ie Cuddin Mary, Cuddin Joe, etc.
A heavy rain was a "chunk floater".
It rained like a cow peeing on a flat rock.
We ate breakfast, dinner, and supper -- and sometimes had fried okry and poke salad!

Comments:When one of us kids would ask where mom was, he'd say, "she went to pee and the hogs ate her". He was being polite and saying that it was none of our business.

My grandmother, when something "floored her", would say, "well, I swan".

Something I always heard when I was a kid and needed to mind my own business was, "you need to tie your own horses".

OR
"She's so ugly she has to sneak up on a water fountain to get a drink" Also as an insulting description
OR
"Big hat--No cattle" to describe someone who talks big but can't back it up.

Comments:My favorite old farmer & rancher sayings:
When water is scarce you would say, "Not enought water to water a sittin hen!".
When your too busy, "Busier than a one legged man in a butt kickin contest".
When something is is short supply it's, "Scarce as hen's teeth".
And when things look too difficult,"There ain't been a horse that couldn't be rode and there ain't been a cowboy who couldn't be throwed".
If something was just a real bother to you you would say it's "like having worms up your nose".
If you really didn't like some piece of equipment you would say, "I wouldn't have that in my barn if I had room for a saw mill!"
