We needed that information and thanks to you, we've got it! *VBG* Too late to remove the pie from my 'umble mouth, however. I stepped up to the plate and did what I must do, and since I'm not a stranger to such fare, it served me well...*VBS*<BR/>The origins and changes in the word and phrase are interesting.

I subscribe to mirriam webster's free word of the day, which tells you the etymology of words as well as the definition. If only I remembered all the words that they send me.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.com
