    "The cobbler's children go barefoot."

    My family used this expression to describe someone with misplaced priorities. A person who takes care of everything but their own responsibilities. Like the guy who cleans the church and volunteers but gives nothing of himself to his wife & kids. Because we were New Yorkers we sometimes said shoemaker instead of cobbler.

    Never heard this explained but maybe it's like this...

    You swing a tool too hard and the head goes flying across the room...it's become out of control, like your emotions are said to be out of control if you fly off the handle.

    It was always “slicker than snot” around here

    Me “hey dad”.

    I heard it twice in the same day. The first time was during a six nations rugby match and the second time was later that evening during a UFC match. My life hasn’t been the same since.

    My Temu orders have doubled in price. I try to keep them around $20 but I need things that are more expensive now. (Not the sports bra I just bought that I hope is all it's cracked up to be. How could I say no to $3.07 for a freakin' bra?!)
