I don't get it. My lovingly hand-crafted definitions, carefully designed to include at least three etymological references to the word in question, get zero votes, and then this, tossed off in an instant, wins the deal. Come on - a squirrel? Really?

Good job with the deal, Debbie! I may not live up to your standard in presenting the results, though.

Anyhow, to paraphrase 2012 Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, "I have a binder full of words," and to quote current President Donald Trump, "I have the best words." So, new word within the next couple of hours. Expect definitions to be due around 48 hours from now, votes 48 hours after that.

Efrem, no offense, but I thought the same thing about the squirrel
definition! Guess it pays not to over-think! Great job--really YUGE!

*~Bending under the weight of His mercies~*


*This life is temporary. This life is short. When this life is over, our
bodies will die and become empty shells, but our souls will continue to
live forever. Where will the “real you” live? Will you live for all
eternity separated from God? Or will you spend eternity in the presence of
God in heaven? Learn more so you can make your most important decision:
