"Bless his/her heart" is no longer any fun to say, now that foreigners have discovered its true meaning.

But Joe, the blond is a Virginian, and I mean a DAR, DOC Virginian. I lived there for 11 years, so by marriage and proximity, I am ALLOWED to use the "Bless Your Heart" phrase!!!!!

Well, I'm DAR but what is DOC? Daughters of the Confederacy? And ya'll kin bless my heart any time you want to, or any other part of me for that matter.

Indeed it is. If you ever visit Chip Oaks on the south side of the James River near Smithfiled, you can thank my wifes family for donating it to the State of Virginia to use as a historical sight. She is a direct descendent of Abraham Jones who settled @ Smithfield in the early 1600's. She has many long past relatives who fought in "The War of Northern Agression". The odd thing is that everytime I watch "Gettysburg" she will sit there and point out her relatives who are re-enactors. My mother always used to kid her by saying that both of our families probably shot at each other at the battle of Gettysburg.

Gotta Love the South. Or not.
