dwcopple, I guess you had better start saying "I was the high bidder". It seems my fellow Forum members are being a bit persnickerty lately.
I once used an expression that I'm sure most of us have used in the past: "I'm waiting for the fog to burn off". My house mate in Kosovo, a former Indiana cop, wanted to argue, because every body knows that fog is water vapor and it doesn't burn. I threatened to quit fixing my good southern cooking if he didn't shut up. He reluctantly "heshed up".
