Snippets of wisdom (cliché and humour too)

Or, you have the option to read them - as the song goes "One day at time", sweet Jesus! Savoured, not gulped down.

That's why they're posted as single posts, not en bloc. 🙂

One of my learned wisdoms is to be observant - they are posted one day at a time.😆

Measure twice.

Cut once.

Applies to a lot of life.

Apropos, see #52 to #55. 🙂

I was going to let what I saw as an unreasonable instruction slide, and simply desist, but I think it warrants a proper response first.

As you say, the forum is generally for discussion, but this thread has the OP requesting 'snippets of wisdom' (albeit with a preference for those from personal experience). So where the discussion around the snippets on the thread had died, I had hoped it might spark a little revival - and if not, it could be a handy resource of the requested material for those interested.

The snippets I have been posting have been done not as an info-dump, but as a daily thing, to make it something to dip into, as and when. They are not "multiple" or "exhaustive quotes"; just daily snippets. Apologies if this sounds pedantic, but I think it's a fair point. Perhaps you had meant to say "exhaustively quoting", but that's still a little unfair: with a lively thread, they would have just been one among many; from just me however, it simply stands out.

So, in the context outlined, it sounds unreasonable to instruct someone not to post about something requested in the OP.

Apologies - I wasn't aware of the protocol.

(I'm annoyed with myself that I didn't understand 'character' when it showed up, as I like doing complex crosswords 🙄😄)
