Too many mean things said, that sooner or later get back to a person and hurt them...

To stay on track... Holy Toledo is a phrase we all used growing up in my area of Toledo.
I might be mistaken but I thought Rob and Laura lived in New Rochelle.

I was conducting a legacy video interview for my wife's great grandmother so we'd have her story and history on video, and she said, "If your great you don't have to tell anyone, they will know it"

She said her mother taught her that in the late 20's when she was a little girl bragging about herself. Since then she said she lived by that humbling Old Saying.
