could it be il - laqu -eate? What kind of root word is laqu? I can think of lac and lacqu words, but not any laq right off.

Oh, my. If "huh" was a little too little for 22, perhaps my post 41 was too much for topping the page?
I just figured that others would jump on my 40 springboard, so I had time to indulge a deeper thought. Forgive moi.

Congrats, Plum!
And for Mymare... The worst is long gone!
For others who may have to follow Mymare's joyous activity, DO NOT get carried away and drink too much water as I did! (They usually tell you to drink plenty of water along with the 'moviprep'!)
....Well, you CAN drink too much More...

I had to time my drinking of the lovely "flavored" liquid. I added water to the (what seemed to be)gallon jug of "tasty" berry flavored powder. Took a book into the bathroom and glugged a glass full every 15 minutes. Lovely.

The QUE (pronounced KWI), is a rare edible, South American stick insect that is much prized by the Amazon Indians. However its Oz counterpart is poisonous and causes stubborn trots and a vermillion eye-shadow. The illness the poison induces is called

Rayray! And many, many more.

TFTD: Do what you love, love what you do, and deliver more than you promise.
That motivates me to get off this site (sorry, folks) and make a poster with Little Plum. TTFN

Illaqueate: a sickly blue/green vegetable pate served with stale crackers during happy hour.

My goodness. I had forgotten my birthday starts early here, but have been reminded by an almost overwhelming number of birthday greeting from you all in my inbox. Thank you everyone.

ILLAQUEATE = The way you feel after eating unripe aki fruit in Jamaica

Would you like a 2 day birthday Rayray or shall I save my wishes for tomorrow? Oh what the *#$!

I;ll say it both days

Happy birthday Rayray,
You can celebrate today and next day,
Today you celebrate on the site,
But your birthday really starts tonight,
So laugh, be boisterous and try to be gay,
You have two days to play and play!

2:39 Hi to all.

Thought for the Day:

On your worst days, be good. And on your best days, be great. And on every other day, get better.

The Illaqueator is the dividing line between the equator and the little known Illaqueates islands. It is here that the illaqueatian wood nymphs are found in the illa trees. The ancient tradition of the Illas is to knit their own tights from the wood bark, producing paperous, ,masticated tights. More...

I'm wearing a pair now...my god there good...

they are...sorry still masticating here...

HI all! While you're all illaqueating, (I think it's what the hairdresser does to you when she asks if you'd like a little (!!) spray), here's today's riddle! Answers to the sticky inbox please!
What do these three things have in common?
Corn
Weasel
Balloon

to Rayray - have two fun days!

Knit one, perl one, knit one, perl one, knit one, perl one, knit one, perl one.

Ok, the above was the easy one - here's the real riddle!!
Five brothers share a common trait of forgetfulness that has gotten them in hot water with their girlfriends. After a string of forgotten birthdays, anniversaries and even dates, the brothers' girlfriends were fed up. After a More...

Homer my nifty, thrifty angel... knit one, chew one, pearl one ad infinitum...have you dropped a stitch?

Happy Monday!

Rayray: to you!...and many more...

Of course, andre. Should have been knit one, purl one, chew one.

And it should have been purl, not perl. Whoops. No wonder. Even Homer sometimes drops a stitch.

Oh, Fiona!
Just to let you know how stupidly obsessive I am, I have actually made up a grid that I can print out, fill in, and carry around with me as I ponder. Yes, I do indeed need a life!

you're doing just fine Kathy! Don't panic!

I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE.
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1) 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can.

(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten More...

Mr. Cosby certainly has a way with words.....

I'll vote for him.

Good mAen to everyone!

This looks like a pretty big creek!

Granted, I don't like having to press one for English... but how many current citizens of the US have ancestors who came to our shores not speaking a word of English?

Yes, but they were required to learn english to become citizens.

well, I'm back -- everything is okay, I was able to eat my lunch and took a little nap. I can not fix dinner per the nurse's instruction, but I have flipped by bed mattress and after a little time on the computer, I will going though the change of seson clothing - of course, it should be spring but still talk of snow tonight -- take care

Yes, Heidi, and they didn't have ESL/ELL programs in schools. I'm not saying it's wrong for immigrants to integrate themselves into the culture, just that it's all too easy to become kneejerk antagonistic toward newcomers.

I can understand your attitude, Homer. After all, you come from Ionia and don't speak a word of Attic. Get yourself some glasses, too, or you'll never finish that poem.

2:00, everyone.

I need something that rhymes with spear...

Does "Green card" rhyme with spear?

The 98-year-old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying.

The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable. They tried giving her some warm milk to drink but she refused it. One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen and remembering a bottle of Irish More...

Colo Jim. Do you believe our priest told that joke in church one Sunday? (He's not our priest anymore--gosh I miss him! He had great jokes!)
It's ****ing down rain here, and it's cold too! I'm going to put the tea kettle on, so if anyone wants to join me ...

Hmmmm, Ianos. I think that one may have lost something in translation.
