Eddie, this was one of my grandmother's OFTEN spoken instructions! There were five of us and she must have been hoarse from saying it so often. Thanks for the memory!

when something you are doing is about to backfire, or not work like you thought, I've always heard, 'You're just pissing in the wind...'
