The present progressive term cannot apply to tsuwm.

Ouch, Sparteye!...naming names are we? Never had you figured in with Elia Kazan and Burl Ives!

OK, gentlepersons, I am back. The correct answer is number 4, a small wooden bolt used to fasten a knob to the front of a drawer. I ran across it several months ago and thought, gosh, no one will guess that one.

Here's the web site:

http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/showdetl.cfm?&DID=6&offerings_ID=5259&ObjectGroup_ID=132&CATID=41

I will try to post the votes along with revealing who had written which definitions today or tomorrow, but it's quite hectic here. We got home late yesterday afternoon after freezing in Florida for two weeks and Peggy has an axillary temperature of 102.7, so I have all the laundry, kid-wrangling, etc. And the brakes are out on her car :(.

I am GLAD to be back. There are over 1200 new messages on the board, so I will have to just trash some of them. Any ideas on which threads to read?

Welcome back, TEd. Boy, am I glad I'm not you today! You know you let yourself in for it by asking for recommendations from this bunch, don't you? Mine will be the fair warning. I'll let the rest flood you with recommendations.

Thank heavens you're back. I have written this message in white because there are those out there who wish you ill will. Your car had hardly reached second gear when these people began calling you every name in the phone book and, in general, scandalizing your good name. They called you a bad Hogwashmaster. And when I tried to change my vote to #4 they told me to shut up. I think that you are the best Hogwashmaster that ever lived. Thank heavens you are back. Only you can rectify their wrongs by the judicious awarding of points. Milum.

I'm with you if they are natural. I don't much care for the shaved heads tho' i don't know why that should make a difference, but naturally bald has a naturally soft feel. Yeah. That's what it is.

Hmm, really?...And just exactly what is it about naked paste that turns you on? okay, so what's one circumflex accent, more or less?

Reminds me of the two mothers of teenaged girls commiserating with one another. The conversation ended when one of them said, "I guess I'll never understand these kids and their weird hair styles. Just the other night I heard Jennifer telling a friend of hers on the phone that she wanted to be bald when she was 16."
