More frequently a backward, mentally sluggish person. • Winkle: To pry out or extract something; from the process of removing the snail from an edible periwinkle.

Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1016 Loc: Lancaster, UK	I CAN'T read jackie's post by using "quote" - it was the first thing I tried because it has worked in the past. Edit but I have been able to edit this one! Curioser and curioser.

Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/24/02 Posts: 7184 Loc: Vermont	We should remember that Jackie has powers here that the rest of us don't; she's a Moderator. There may be some issue which only affects her, or perhaps, as Tromb suggests, there might be a problem with the forum software. _________________________ formerly known as etaoin...

Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 11578 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky	Buffle, you may be right; I dunno. Not that I'm glad anyone else is having problems, but I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thanks, Peter.

LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 5268 Loc: Land of the Flat Water	YES! I received your last two posts above, back from "mutedom". As to the words. I love "cerulean", and use the word whenever it fits. Edited by LukeJavan8 (01/15/13 12:36 PM) _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----
