I too had apple and pumpkin pie for breakfast...andI am now drinking a cup of Bailey's Irish tea.......would go for a walk...but it is 8 degrees Fahrenheit outside
I made potato salad for dinner last night, and had sherbet for breakfast! Since my roommate is out of town for a week I've gotten to run amok! Actually no, mostly just napping and enjoying some alone time (didn't realize I needed a little more of it).
Thank you, kind sir. May I have another?
I mention how well fed I am, & how slow I'll be....& you're deterred by a teensie chill in the air?
he's a bear...and when it gets this cold, he's supposed to curl up and go sleep in a den somewhere...so I think he's trying to keep himself awake for the next several months...
If he can post here, he can still wreak carnage.
I was bemused by this list of 70 words that came into English from India. Some are obvious and oft used. Some I know but note I've rarely seen them outside of an India-context. Some I had to look up having never heard or seen them even though they are in the one true dictionary, the OED, and thus sacred scripture.

I've only been in Indiana for a day and already I feel my angers and frustrations over this state rising again.
And I feel an odd sense of comfort from the familiarity of it.

I didn't realize we had that many Indian words in English. But I object to Kashmir being on the list, as that was unarguably introduced to English by Zeppelin.
This post is afternoonified and not arf'arn'an'arf at all. It is, to be sure, bang up to the elephant. And to accuse it of being butter upon bacon is false. It keeps me from getting the morbs. It is, to be sure, nanty narking.

Hazelnuts were once called filberts.
And, me thinks that somewhere they still are.
I might be a prophet. Hahahahahahah All the evidence for is present. Hated. Got that! Not heard. Got that too. Ignored. Got it. From the city of peace. I think I am from there. Loves God. Of course! Trusts God? Only God. Can see ahead (sometimes)? I think so. Has a love/hate affair with Jesus? Is that a prerequisite? I think so.
