You Haven't Got A Snowball's Chance In Hell......

This social expression generally proves to be true, UNTIL, I say, UNTIL the proverbial snowball refuses to melt.

"Happy Wife Happy Life" or perhaps we can translate to "Happy Femme Happy Life"

Making sure someone is happy in return leads to your happiness!

I've heard this is true from partnered couples...LOL

Take time out in life to stop and have some fun instead of constantly working!

Me as well, but sometimes it's hard especially if the person is "difficult".

.....Finders, Keepers.....

The above idiom operates on the antiquated idea that if someone finds something that is not owned or abandoned, then the "finder" feels entitled to keep it.

There's not much good in pushing this type of mindset or ideology because there's nothing honest about taking something that does not really belong to you.

I don't like the saying or mindset.
