    2+2=4 only if you don't do it in dog numbers.

    Dog numbers are the same as human numbers.  It's the years of life that differs.  Their cookies still add the same, silly.  The dogs will tell you differently but they fib when it comes to this.  
    Don't believe them.  4 cookies doesn't mean they deserve and equals to 28.... even if they think it does.  Don't look at their sad eyes.  4 is plenty.  Love, big puppy dog eyes.... This post was edited by Merlin at September 11, 2018 12:01 AM MDT

    Yep, at least 30 of them (great for doing crosswords).  There's even an old Thorndike/Barnhart dictionary (circa 1982) here under my mouse.  (I have numerous thesaurus books too).  As a writer, I constantly use dictionaries (book as well as online form).

    Yes I do.  It's in my top drawer with my undies and socks.  It's not that I am keeping all those words a secret. It's simply because I was in a rush one day and needed to put it somewhere, quickly.
    It's funny.  I haven't thought about, or used it in years, obviously. ;):)  It has been there since 2010!  What a hoot!  I've just became used to it being there and move it around when I do laundry.
    I've exposed too much now, I'm sure.  I'm up and out and moving it to the office right now!

    Chances are, you've already seen what's in that drawer if you've glanced through a Victoria Secret Catalog in the last 8 years.  Winks and smiles!

    Hi Baba~ You don't seem to need one.  You are so well written, I'm sure you must speak correctly as well.  :) :)

    Yeah, one of those monstrous unabridged jobs that typically require their own stand---bought it way before the Internet existed.

    Those are Cool!!  
    My Grammie had one of those at the beach house.  Every time we visited she would have my sister and me go to that dictionary (which was HUGE at that moment in my life... She had a step-stool for us to stand on so we could reach it) and find a word.   Then, we would have to pronounce it correctly, spell it and use it in a sentence.
    I think we also had to say if it was a verb, noun, adjective, adverb... and so on.  I'm  pretty sure we had to include that part too,  anyway....
    I haven't thought of that in years and years.   Looking back on it, I am  grateful to her for having us do that little fun game.
    Thank you Tom for bringing back that memory. :) :)
