heck even my NAME'S a typo!)I've always wondered about that. I tend to mentally yell your first name, because of those two capital letters. It's actually quite unsettling, all this mental yelling, and I've been here for almost two years - you'd think I'd be used to it!

re:what does "daddled" mean?!
just a guess, but it think it is a nonsense word --something like dilly- dally, (past tense of dilly dally?)
she diddled and daddled and was late to school.

I got this from a google hit:
Dadle \Dad"le\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Daddled, p. pr. & vb. n.
Daddling.] [Prob. freq. of dade.]
To toddle; to walk unsteadily, like a child or an old man;
hence, to do anything slowly or feebly.
I think daddled should be descriptive of a male parent by his progeny, a blending of dad and addled. "My old man, he is SO like daddled."
