Hello.

My 2 cents' worth guess for last week's topic is:
"Words Indicating Superficiality To Their Context."

Hope we find out soon.

Thanks for the compliment Fiberbabe (according to your username, you must be very regular!).


Oh my. I manifested that handle as an allusion to my sewing background. That's what blinders will do for a person...

In reply to:

...hint hint Anu, discovering connections in meaning is FAR more interesting, I think.


Interesting, yes. Enough to drive me to drink? That too.

OK. Do we innundate the Chief with E-mails demanding to know what last week's theme was?
Or do we let Jackie do it on our behalf, since we know she is Fearless Leader's alter-ego?

If Father Steve is correct, you'd do better asking on your knees in the Church of the Holy AWAD ...

Preeeeecisely! Except that instead of book and bell, it'd be OED and magnifying glass.

bridget96, were SO many folks ahead of you? Well, at least we got it right... (I, very belatedly).... wonder what the winner won? You're our winner on the board, in any case.

['aside' emoticon] It was a great AWAD mail, I thought. Late, but one of the best.

It's WAY too long to post, Jackie. Maybe I was among the first, since my addy begins with "a" (and the theme WAS alphabetical order) hehehe... I'll forward it to ya.
