To HATE the middle aged woman's use of "Live Life Laugh"

[NinaNannar]

Normally by rather flakey types.

Or carpe diem.

urm what does this mean

I actually quite like them

Rainbows sing "Look, Learn, Laugh, Love" as part of the Rainbows song. The song was probably made up by a middle aged woman.

It's means - loosely - seize the day.
It's a quote from some ancient roman arsehole.
And it was used in dead poets society which brings on the rage in me.
2 hours of my life I will never get back

We have a cross stitch in our guest loo (done by MIL) that says "You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter." I quite like that one.

Oh ok that is really rubbish badvoc I havnt seen DPS i see i missed nothing

A friend had plates that had 'plate' written on them In case he forgot what they were?

..

I have pasta bowls with different sorts of pasta written on them. I have to stop myself getting stressed when I serve casserole in them.....

I used to have SOUP bowls would mess with my anal DDs head but mummy that is ice cream not soup

I hate the term middle aged woman!

Mrss your mil sounds funny. Like that.

Sing like there's nobody listening?

Not a fan of the Live Laugh Love signs

I have a "be nice or go home" sign in the hall though

I sing like there is nobody listening they usually have their hands over their ears

I'd have to eat blindfolded.

I'd have to eat blindfolded.

Alternatively I could pretend it was some kind of Heston Blumenthal style surrealism.

And when i'm old i shall wear purple

So fucking what. I'll wear converse and burn signs and decide when i'm middle-aged for myself. And then i'll do what the fuck I lie while sticking 2 fingers up to anyone telling me what's appropriate for a middle-aged woman. And i'm 57 and in a fucking bad mood.

My favourite motto is 'Smile and Wave'.

I generally put it to use whilst muttering "fuck off" under my breath.

I regularly laugh at the news when there is a report about The Queen. She'll be travelling in her black car, with her sweet old lady 'butter wouldn't melt' smile, waving casually. I imagine her turning to Prince Phillip and saying something really rude. You often see them chortleing away together, sharing an 'in' joke.

Smile and wave, smile and wave.

If I danced like no one was looking I'd be arrested I do like to throw funny shapes and mix things up. DS loves me for it.
Hate the 'keep calm' bollocks and 'eat' in the kitchen, so unimiginative. Although perhaps I should put one that says SLEEP on DS's wall

I do love the wee/glitter turd, especialy in cross stitch, I may have to steal them!

Louise Redknapp was being teased on some TV programme about her family doing the M and S advertisement- she smiled sweetly at the comedian concerned, and said "Smile and bank it".

But ginslinger the "when I'm old I shall wear purple" line is the start of a poem that illustrates your own statement. It's about saying that the author will do what the fuck she wants.

Oh God - I was just thinking that I'm middle-aged and none of my friends say these things.Then, I remembered that I have one of those signs in my hallway - it says:-

'Be kind
Be true
Seek Peace
Keep the faith
Be a friend
Sing and dance
Be in love
Treasure Family
Cherish Family
LIFE IS GOOD'

What a load of old bollocks. Can't even remember where or when I got it.(Maybe some evil 'sign fairy' sneaks it in to your house when you hit 40!)

My one would be Read Drink Sleep
Or rather more descriptively Read, Drink Wine, Sleep

How about Just Live Life And Shut The Fuck Up
Get The Fuck On With It

However perhaps any type of motto is a mistake
