You forget that you came here to root out zombie rules.

"No offense taken but why all the anger about categorization, no need to emulate lat,"

Relapsing-remittent annoyances. You may take offense now.

My (Presbyterian) church is heavily into children, music and community service. My two 11 year-old sons both sing in the choir and play in the bell choir. They have added playing in an Orff ensemble for the Nativity Christmas Eve, and perhaps singing a small solo, all which require extra rehearsals. I sing in the choir, which is presenting the Vivaldi Gloria in worship this Sunday, with chamber orchestra, which requires extra rehearsals. The outside of my house is decorated, as well as 95% of the inside. I've been a little busy... :0)

tsu in any case there is indeed room for discussion but you might agree that today's rhopalic is a Type-3 if not -18

olly The Whimsical Ambiguity Alligator

Bran re Relapsing-remittent annoyances, I well understand and of course you are not alone but I have ruminated upon that and concluded that not every participant reads each and every post and therefore some repetitions are required to emphasize a critical issue where instead a link to the original might prove a nuisance

sleepy yes I can well understand your position as many of our acquaintances upon procreating have lately eschewed my Sons' and my beer-tasting sessions in the jacuzzi although it can't really account for the entire pullout. In both instances I hope many will rejoin when the kids grow old enough to (1) join AWAD themselves or (2) come to appreciate The Brew

Does that leave you all 5% to live in? ( lame..yes I know) You have twins? Fun. I'd really like to hear you all sing.

dal, you may be surprised to learn, as I'm sure you didn't bother to LIU, that rhopalic is a type 10.

and here I was primed to add it to the wwftd list. oh well.

tsu I apologize profusely as I had assumed considering my profound laziness you might guess I would classify any level exceeding 3 as simply 3 but I certainly appreciate your diligence

Re the poll: Thanks to all of you who so honestly and heroically checked "didn't"

Of course it's still open

da, I don't think you've yet grasped the meaning of a OneLook rating of 10; that is, much less obscure than 3.

p.s. - I'm becoming quite enamored of this new rating system, and I shall probly push it, oh, every time I see any other system, at least.
