I have a small walk-in closet, and it can easily turn into a recycling museum, so I’ve also learned to sort out. When you are as old as I am, it is very important not to get sloppy and wear boring clothes.
If a man says you’re ugly, he’s just mean. If a woman says you’re ugly, she’s just jealous. If a kid says you’re ugly, you’re ugly.
If you only want to see dog shit, then there is dog shit.
Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.
You are only as happy as your least happy child-
Til we meet again, may God bless you. Adios.
