Now I always heard that saying as :
to speak softly is silver, to remain silent is golden.
Another of my favorites,
Tis better to remain silent and thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.

I live by this Jonathan Antin quote: "I don't need you to make me understand anything, make no f***in' mistake about it."
Sounds laughable at first, but think about it...;-)

sexual connotations
okay is it just me or do these threads tend to get a bit sexually connotated? Its okay with us being adults an all but there may be some younger people reading these threads. I mean like 11-12 year olds. As we know an obsession with appliances can start at a young age and this site is a perfect place to satisfy those intrests without declaring it to the whole world. Just because someone uses a figue of speech saying they are up to their wazoo in tinsel doesn't mean we have to go all out and star asking what a wazoo is, its a figure of speech for gods sake. Remind me never to try and start a well meaning clean thread, yes there have been some good replies but this sexual connotation should be dulled down a bit, just to protect people who could be reading these threads and are offended by that sort of talk. not mentioning any names. I don't mean to whinge i'm just trying to think of the wellbeing of the site and its users.

Hi Matty,
First let me be the first to apologize if I have said anything to offend. This would be the last thing in the world I wish to do BUT could you please quantify your informal accusations a bit more with some examples? I see some light hearted innuendo but nothing near what I hear out of children of the age that you refer to. Hell...in four minuets of MTV or FX you will hear much worse language and sexual connotation than what I have witnessed from this group since I joined. And what you see on MTV or FX seems to be what kids are imitating today!
I have a feeling that you may be a bit hurt and feeling that your first post largely went unappreciated. For that,too, I am sorry. It really was a very nice quote and I should have acknowledged it.
From the two months or so that I've been here I can't imagine anyone who would want to offend anyone least of all a child!
Again, sorry if I've offended anyone.

HI Matty. Sorry if the discussions in the thread went too far. The intent was never to offend anyone, least a child. I will be more carefull the next time. By the way, the thread you started was great and a lot of fun. Sometimes it is taken too far.

Having done motivational sales seminars my favorite saying is one that I try to live with as well and that is "Think you can. Think you can't. Either way you will be right!"

Thanks for clarifying that. I didn't know BUT then again if you look at my profile you will see that you ARE older than I !!))) <joking smirk>
All I have in my bathroom, like that, would be Dippity Doo (pink of course).

Oh yeah, Rich!
Two years makes all the difference!
Kudos to you, though for having the pink Dippity-Do. Don't forget, it also came in green (for those hard-to-hold dos), and (briefly) yellow, the balsam formula.
I may not know much, but I do know my defunct hair-care products!
