Meaning, when one takes a break or day off from their regular routine, one should not do something that would normally be included in that routine!



When I was a kid, I remember whenever my mom was going someplace by herself, I'd ask if I could go with her, she'd ALWAYS say that to me.....

Your mom is an very very astute thinker, homoe. I really like her way of making sense of life in very articulate ways. I like your mom, very much.

I hear Jerry Lewis saying this to his Rat Pack pals.... Sinatra, Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr....and I believe Joey... (can't remember his last name)

It's a Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1971)

This idiomatic phrase finds its roots, sunk deeply into the ground and within the lyrics of a very popular soul song, covered by The Pretenders, Annie Lennox and H Town; but was first recorded and written by members of the soul group called The Persuaders.

The idiom meaning succinctly articulates a particular truth about two emotions (Love and Hate). It's hard to tell if there's really any difference between the two outcomes either emotion is capable of producing. It's obvious to most people where the line is drawn. But, I consider this expression to be mostly true. And, as well, I like very much the song and the idiomatic turn of phrase.

All of my children, my daughter AND both of my sons, kept me so terribly busy. Particularly my sons. So, I totally know exactly what you speak of: I think it was a fairly good thing, that I could adapt quickly and have lots of experience on my side, with acting quickly and being on my toes, right???

Oooooh, thanks for reminding me of a quote I came upon today, from my belated birthday gift, the It's All In Your Head box of positive thoughts ........

"If you're trying to act your age, then you're just acting, not living. Forger the date on your birth certificate. How old would you be if you had no idea how old you were?" -- No Citation Given (unknown).

I'm guessing we are relatively the same age
