It’s a tough one. I think I only had one as well. Some words are rather awkward though. Don’t think I’d use them.

What fun. I knew a few and some are worth remembering for social occasions – oh yeah, my social calendar is still blank for weeks to come. My social meetings are with neighbors walking by as I weed my front garden and neighbors behind as I weed my back garden. See a theme here?

LOL! It’s a new way of life. Glad you had fun with the post, Pat. Hope you and your husband are safe and sound. Warmly, J.

We are safe – sometimes I wonder about sound. But I also judge my mental state by thinking about the context within which I am living. My mental responses seem to be normal to the crazy going on around us. 🙂

I only knew one or two well. Some of these words are rather awkward to the ear though.
