Still insecure. See above! Speaking of Gesundheit - that's German for "healthfulness." As opposed to Krankheit, which means sickness. I've always grinned at the thought of Groucho Marx's character Dr. Krankheit (or however he wanted it spelled) and then the highly respected late newscaster Walter Cronkite...what an incongruous justaposition! | |||

Is it stylograph? I got 'graph' first, but, I agree, it was a 'sweater!' IDYLLIC CPA Is there one? | |||
|
| Member |
"Stylograph" it is. It's the name of an old kind of pen. I thought it might be arnie or RE or BH who got it because it might be more British than US; I first came across the word in Brat Farrar, by Josephine Tey (that was her pen name, anyway), which was set in England. IDYLLIC CPA is close to PLACIDLY but even closer to PICCADILLY . Is that how it's spelled? U IMPROVISE This message has been edited. Last edited by: haberdasher, | |||
