give me STRENGTH
Do you have a saying that you subconsciously use constantly? Mine is "GIVE ME STRENGTH" i think I must ask for strength about a thousand times a day......
The kettle is taking too long to boil - give me strength
The lights are red - give me strength
Work - GIVE ME STRENGTH x 100.....
It is just something that has found it`s way into my everyday language and it drives my sister insane. So a while ago we were sitting and chatting about something or another and out it popped, I was asking for strength with something. Well, she was off like a rocket into her bag and scratching around with a wicked grin on her face. She pulled her hand out and dropped a small, smooth black rock into my hand with one word on it - - STRENGTH - - - "There you go!", she said! Just like that! *lol* So I carry my little rock of strength with me now and everytime I look at it I have to chuckle........
Do you have one of these sayings? A few words that just tumble out every now and again without you noticing?

My favourite saying ...?
It's not mine at all ...
It's St. Augustine's ...
LORD GIVE ME PATIENCE BUT NOT JUST YET! ...
Let me live in debauchery a bit longer ... PLEASE! ...
St. Augstine? He was as depraved as they come ...
But finally, he caved in to his mother's tears and prayers ...
My mother ... I wish she wouldn't pray and cry in front of me ...
I'm not ready for Conversion ...
Do you know of any pagan gods I can pray to? Sort of do a bit of a fatwah on my mother's prayers and tears ...
I want to get LAID before I convert ...
HELP!
ANYONE?

Very true! I regularly hear that if you say things often enough they work their way into your subconscious and can come true.

I'll either think to myself, "I already know the answer to that," or, "What a boring question," and will soon eventuate to launching into conversation again.
That was the first thing I thought of when I read this post. It's what I think in those awkward silent moments.
