Many things, r, but learning 25 years after the fact what had happened to Ed Dunlap cut me deeply. He, a genuine Christian if ever there was one, had been my instructor at Bethel.

Your final WTF? Moment!
by restrangled init was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

Barney snorted at Nanette's assertion that there wasn't a grain of truth in anything he claimed regarding the inability of the brain to withstand continual hammering until its owner should be pronounced insane by the medical authorities.

My physical body's waxings and wanings has my brain confused: I am at once nimble as I take the steeply-inclined Mongolian Steppes two at a time, agile as I wind my way through the deep underbrush of the Novamati Plateau. Back home, ah, back home, I find myself painfully lumbering through the detritus of an aged bachelor's pad.

Manfred set out, of an early morn, to bring order to his burgeoning garden with a trusty Craftsman many-tined rake. Along came Gaby, whose roque-like behavior made her unpredictable manner of speech just one more reason to blanche and run when neighbors saw her afoot. She espied Manfred, who was cooly and unruffled about his work while she harangued him mercilessly with this-and-that verbally injurious taunt.
"You are a rake and a blackguard, my dear man. It's a wonder such a bad man can have friends!" the old bag railed.
Manfred would have let it all pass; however, the bulbous biddy had pronounced "blackguard" like it looks, i.e., "black guard."
Drawing himself up to his full height, much as a bantam rooster might when feathers were all aruffle, the indignant Manfred riposted,
"If you're going to insult me, Gabriella Goosefinder, diss me right!"
Tail between her bowed legs, Gabriella trounced off red and indignant, for her departed-to-the-grammar-school-in-the-sky mother had, without success, continually endeavored to get her clueless daughter to pronounce less-familar words clearly and correctly . . .

Good morning, dear ladies!
Only in later life have I read ND mysteries, even wrote a few eponymous spoofs here on JWD/JWN.
Love your word offerings, Syl, but I am a gentleman and cannot incorporate woman-maligning terminology in my noble verse . . .
Otherwise, I'm available to romp about freely in a lexical manner of writing!
Love,
CoCo

However toxic it may have been to my fragile respiratory system, I loved inhaling the piney fumes of turpentine while describing arcs and serpentine coils in my paintings of florentine-like imagery.

Execrate and imprecate both take a direct object, so there's no apparent need to follow either verb with a preposition . . . methinks. . . .
