Hi pueo!
*waving madly*
I am embarrassed to admit, clary, that I am not sure. It is an online entertainment magazine. He's too busy to email me with links to his stories.
*sniff*
Ha! Just spoke to Margo and Msolga, who are sitting in the sun in Melbourne watching boats - having eaten in a Vietnamese restaurant!
Boats in Melbourne, what an image of tranquil pleasure.
Mmmmmmmmmm - i canna get them to gossip!!!!!
Gossip
This is a very old word with a much more modern meaning. It comes from the Old English godsibb, meaning a godparent or baptismal sponsor. It comes from god + sib (meaning blood relation as in sibling). It dates to at least 1014.
By 1362, the term was being used to mean a close friend, one you might chose to be godparent to your children. It was applied to both men and women, although in later uses it came to be applied only to women. By 1566, the word was being used to mean a flighty woman, one who would engage in idle talk. From there it came to mean the idle talk itself.
Idle talk only for women, eh? I don't THINK so.
What now ? ! ? ! ?
(You see, i'm no gossip . . . just yer average, garden-variety quidnunc . . .)
Lol! Words often have such a descent....
You're right, Deb. Do let's keep this decent.
Pueo, don't recall that I asked you anything. But, while we're on the subject of not asking, where have you been hiding lately? A post from Guam these days is as rare as a frost in the Halema'umau caldera on a Summer's night. (I'll be heading out that way next week, btw, for a week of traipsing around on the Big Island.)
A joyful Oestre to y'all.
aloha merry andrew, i've been on the site quite a bit lately. i went to oahu for a few days in late february. will most likely go again in june, i'll make sure to have a few extra days so that i can get out to maui.
Happy Bunny Day!
Hope everyone has had their fill of candy.
I made challah, lemon cake, and potatoes. Mom made a ham, corn, devilled eggs, and kale. We also had cheeses and pate before dinner.
I think Easter should be renamed Cholesterol Overload Day.
happy cholesterol overload day!
