  last week we had a reassurance ultrasound with our ob.

  she was just supposed to check heartbeats on the two little ones and they were going strong!

  but because she had extra time and she can be quite anal about her work (which is a good thing) she decided to take some measurements.

  I'm so sorry, Darkknight.

  There are no words, but we who have experienced this know the numbness, the helplessness.

  Love,

  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.

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  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.

  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 . . .
