Actually, this is correct -
Feeling good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
Replace it with "I" - doesn't work.
"Feeling good was good enough for I, good enough for Bobby McGee and I."

'No use crying over spilled milk' - what's done is done!

'That (item) has been through the mill...'

'cut and dried'

I know that "cutting and drying" could apply to "making hay"

It could also apply to the process of preserving meat

I don't know how it came to mean "the matter has been decided"

bearisgray

That can apply to sooooo many situations -

Once something has been done, it's been done.

Probably usually refers to something that might have been better left undone or unsaid?

Or maybe what's done, is done. No going back...

I was at the dollar store a little while ago & the clerk asked this man how he was doing & he said fair. Then she said fair to midland. Never understood this one either. I always thought cut & dry meant it was over & done with.

I think the expression is "fair to middling"

not bad, but not great, either
