Randall (Parson)--

Thank you SO much for offering that explanation. That could be it. All my life, I've wondered what in the world he had been saying all those years but what you say makes a lot of sense. My sister and I once thought maybe it was more of a "Geez, My Nodies" type of expression although we couldn't figure out what "nodies" were! -- and were afraid to speculate! hahaha Your theory, though, is probably correct. Again, thanks!
