  • Taking into consideration yours and Randy's I will add:

    cation
    ileac
    animal
    toxic
    toxin
    tonic
    exotic
    moxie
    ocean
    notice
    clone
    animate

    Okay, not all of those are so common, but I did not look anything up :)

    Too late, Sister. My radar already picked up your molten climax signal and I'm homing in on its source.  This post was edited by Randy D at November 1, 2016 2:08 AM MDT

    I'm lost... Too late... Left with nothing new, original or even more lecturing to add... Beaten by time... And beaten by lack in the finer English vocabulary... I'm just your average simple gal...

  • Okay, Okay, Okay, simmer down, simmer down, Hug, Hug, Hug.
    But please put your dress on. Others are watching.
    Whatever will they think I've done to you! You know how quickly people jump to conclusions, don't you?

    I got my dress on, it's strapless. They come handy at times.
