Bless you?

Browneyes, that's a good way of looking at it! I was thinking that maybe they think their blessings will be wasted!

That reminds me of a Dusty Springfield song, MJ.

Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son,
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along,
When they gathered round and started talking,
Cousin Billy would take me walking,
Through the back yard we'd go walking,
Then he'd look into my eyes,
Lord knows to my suprise:

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

Being good isn't always easy,
No matter how hard I tried,
When he started sweet talking to me,
he'd come tell me everything is alright,
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright,
Can I get away again tonight?.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

How well I remember,
The look that was in his eyes,
Stealing kisses from me on the sly,
Taking time to make time,
Telling me that he's all mine,
Learning from each others knowing,
Looking to see how much we'd grown.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

The song I will always remember of Dusty Springfields is the one about rolling in clovers. My oldest brother use to play her album all the time and I was just a wee one. Never understood what it meant but I always sang along with it.

Jolie, you must be lookin' in the mirror again.

Not quite! I could have been looking at someone's picture, though.

I had a guy I worked with once tell me that I should not say bless you, b/c some people would be offended. Funny thing is, he was catholic and not offended, but just thought I should know
Now I always think twice about saying it.
