I was perusing AWADmail Issue 448. Sometimes I am quite slow. Could someone please explain this 'A THOUGHT FOR TODAY' to me?
What word has st in the middle, in the beginning, and the ending?
(Hint: It's an anagram for 'kind ants'.)
I found the word but still cannot make sense of it. Oh--wait. Never mind--I just got it. Geez! I'll go ahead and leave this here in case others may have interest.
I think I'll go have a little wine...
I know what YOU mean Jackie...I had the same problem,I was thinking...there is no word that starts with 'st' and has 'st' in the middle and 'st' at the end...so I wrote the anagram on paper and of course there is only x1 'st' and I worked it out from there.
Good for the brain, wasn't it
Yes, once it got over the headache from me slapping myself in the forehead!
Inkstand? St in the middle "in" the beginning "and" the ending.
Thought for the day? Well it made you think, didn't it?
Eta: I let the answer out, because if I took so long over it everyone else must have got it by now.
Not me, I am too slow, I was still working on it.
Glad I can stop now.
>Eta: I let the answer out
I still think of eta as being short for etaoin, a.k.a. buffalo shrdlu - but you seem to be using it as an abbrev. for something else, which I can't fathom because of seeing it as etaoin!
please advise.

took me a few times, too!!
Its either 'Edited to add' or 'Elvis Tribute Artist'
Depending on how you feel.
I have been debating returning to my former moniker, but not sure if that wold only add to the confusion!
Not for those who know and love you.

Me too. I still think of Buffalo as Eta. And I thought the big shoe was kinda quirky.
The only other interpretation for eta that I know is Estimated Time of Arrival; not exactly relevant here. So, R--the return of the big shoe (thanx for the reminder, olly!) would be fine with me. What did you do to change it--edit your preferences?
Edited typo. Grr.
"Entirely tactless admonition"?

I didn't know you back then...but a rose by any other name still smells as sweet (well you know that).
What did you do to change it--edit your preferences?
yeah, it's there somewhere! of course, if I change it now, everyone will be confused as to who "Buffy" is!
heh
and thanks for all the love!!
The deed was done when you moved to buffy. Everyone is already confused as to who Eta is. I can't even edit in peace anymore. Besides, as Candy said "a buffalo by any other name would smell just as sweet." Go on Eta. Change it back to Etaoin.
buffalo
I don't know. Your new moniker seems apropos to me. (As the lyric goes: "Her name was McGill, and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy".)

Ha! Haven't heard that in ages.
well, it may be a moot point; I can't seem to find that option anymore. unless it's somewhere strange I'm not remembering...
:¬ P
trying to change your avatar or your user id? (you can't do the latter without re-registering (unless you remember your old id and password), the former is under Edit Profile.)
I was able to change my Display Name before, but I can't find that option this time. it's how I became Buffalo Shrdlu. my user id is still etaoin.
I was able to change my Display Name before..
eech. that sounds dangerous - if one of the (many) updates had that option I bet the next one didn't!

yeah, I was surprised it was possible! guess I'm Buffalo for good!
Well, I don't see that option either (not that my skills are anything to judge by). I sigh for eta, but rejoice in...dare I day it?...the Buff!
If that option were still there, I was thinking of following Eta's brilliant example. I need to find another symmetrical username though.

Nice picture for your new avatar. Hope you're not standing in the hurricane's way.
No...its a bit north of here Bran..so all is good. Buckling down but.
(and I'm very happy with positive feedback re my avatar...I do love the beach).
I don't know,Candy, it does not look too far north of where
you are. You must be getting residual winds and rain.
some...but fine now that Yasi has moved on. The anticipation was worse... figuring out best thing to do.
Am Happy you are ok, and despite the headlines, that the
devastation was not that bad.
