Wonderful, Sylvia!
Nice when JW family talks to you!
Think of me while I walk -- in about half an hour -- a bouncing-off-the-wall and scenery-chewing BIG Husky pup. Walking alone (solo, that is) is sufficient challenge.
Well, it beats scrubbing floors . . . I think.
Blessings and peace, beloved friend.

I'm glad to do my part, Sylvia!

Cachinnate . . .
has been whooping it up in English since the 19th century.
The word derives from the Latin verb cachinnare, meaning "to laugh loudly," and "cachinnare" was probably coined in imitation of a loud laugh. As such, "cachinnare" is much like the Old English "ceahhetan," the Old High German kachazzen, and the Greek kachazein - all words of imitative origin that essentially meant "to laugh loudly."
Our word cackle has a different ancestor than any of these words (the Middle English "cakelen"), but this word, too, is believed to have been modeled after the sound of laughter.

It's good to have you here, Syl, on a site where we cite sources that are a sight for sore eyes.

Yes, Sylvia, regarding a well-constructed but frivolous play, the term coined by Shaw, in reproach of V. Sardou, French playwright.
Good point, LUHE:
I lost a friend named Ruth, hence I am ruth-less.
THANKS!
Edited to add: Yes, a contrived tale, but I don't know if all the sardoodledoms are necessarily of a frivolous nature. It's a spelling bee word on YouTube.

Thanks, Sylvia, for the acknowledgement of the verse I sent you.
The thread you obviously read it on turned up missing when I went searching for it earlier. Somehow, resurrected threads fall immediately back into the grave within a very short time of reposting on them. I had to do a search to find it.
Much ado, much ado . . .
Please, never feel unworthy.
Later, Dear.
good morning, all.. it is good to be here.. thanks to all for your contributions.. love and blessings.

For you, Dear snowbird:
I FEEL THE SUN'S HEAT UPON MY SKIN, yet, too, the damp caress of a wafting fog only now come in from the sea.
It matters not that eyes have long been dimmed to the marvels, the beauties of Nature, while I see her through memories recalled, vibrant in a rainbow of color . . .

Hey, Syl!
What about NebuchadRezzar?
I seem to remember that spelling -- alternate rendering or another man?
THANKS!
