Looking up one word and get sidetracked either by other words on the pages or because the definition you found points you to another word which points you to another one etc and next thing you know something that should have taken two minutes or less has turned into nearly an hour (or worse!)? If you've ever done this and are not admitting to it I have three words for you- CLUCK CLUCK SQUAWK! If I'm the only one then I guess I'm SOOL in finding a 12 step program to overcome this weakness. Hmmm, maybe it really IS too cold here in Canada (or something)? wink LOL!

Nope; can't say that I have ever lost track of time while readin' the dictionary. Let's seeee; yep, it's right there between "timbrel" and "time and a half"; right where it's always been! Think before ya ask these questions! :p

Hi I'm FM and I have a problem ... I have read a DIC tionary and what's worse is .. I liked it! :) Is the coffee burned yet? No? I'll wait then. Coffee must taste like fuel at these types of meetings or I might think I'm in a cafe. Just 11 more steps to go sigh. smile_sp
