"Wordplay" answers, sky pictures...



It seems like this week flew by quickly.  I spent alot of the week sleeping.  I have had a bit of a fibromyalgia flare and I have been very, very tired.  My bed and I have been good friends this week.  I'm hoping that I will wake up and have a more productive weekend!

I wanted to congratulate Barbara
from Confessions of An Angel Waitress who was the first person to send in the correct answers to "Wordplay" Wednesday morning!  Good job, Barbara!!  Krissy from Sometimes I Think was the only other person to have the correct answer to both questions.  Way to go!!  Krissy also brought up something very interesting.  I am going to start with the second question first.  The answer to the question, "What word do we make plural by adding an 'en'?" is OXEN!!  The first question, "What four English words end in '-dous? '" are tremendous, horrendous, stupendous and hazardous!  This is the interesting fact Krissy brought up - there is another word that ends in '-dous' - annelidous.  It is a rare, zoological word.  Here is it's definition from Mr. Webster:  annelidous - An`nel´i`dous a 1(Zool) of the nature of an annelid.  The annelids, collectively called annelida (from Latin annellus "little ring"), are a large phylum of animals, comprising the segmented worms, of about 15,000 modern species including the well-known earthworms and leeches.   Thanks, Krissy!  Here is a picture of an annelid...


                             


I have lots to do today.  I have to take in my car for an oil change and lube and I am going over to do some things for Krissy at her apartment and, well, I need another nap, so I am out of here.  I am leaving you guys with pictures of Pennsylvania skylines.  This is what it looks like when I drive down the highway here.  It is a pretty state.  I didn't get any shots of the mountains the day I took these pictures.  Someday I will get mountain shots.  The mountains can be so beautiful around here.  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! xox

  13. Hey girl,
    Sorry I haven't made the rounds in several days.  I am so sorry that you are not feeling well.  What do you do when you when you have a flare of that? How did they diagnose it? I have often wondered if I had it.   That is really fantastic about John & Krissy being able to come home. Val, take care of yourself.  We need to catch up with each other.  Hugs, Barb
