			Once you're over the hill...you pick up speed...!
For most of my life, we've had a creek that crosses our driveway that is susceptible to flooding, so that saying always made perfect sense to me.
Another one is, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." A young horse has short front teeth that come out perpendicular to the jaw. As the horse gets old, the front teeth get longer, and they are angled towards the front of the mouth.
It would be rude to "look a gift horse in the mouth" to assess its age and value. You should just say, "Thank you for the horse."
Of course, it's an old saying from a time when any horse has value. If nothing else, it could help feed the family over winter.
I have acquired my own ***** and am just waiting some day for the doctor entering the room with that sad look on his face. In my case, her, face.
Promises Made, Promises Kept. How RARE is that today?
