He sit there for a few seconds, looked at the ceiling, put a grin on his face and stated those words.A possum just ran across my grave:  My mom said this when she got chilled or cold and shrugged her shoulders.Bless your heart:  Any time someone had a hardship or had an injury, my mom said this to them.There's a million more, but I'll stop and let you write some.  I may have heard of them or there might be some new ones....who knows.Cohiba</blockquote>
