But isn’t the “a” an extra letter? If so, does that means it offsets the missing “g”?
Dear Whats-your-name,
I am an Advice Columnist, not a linguist, but I suspect not.

I came home from irk early because I had all of 3 hours of sleep last night. I took a 2 hour nap and now I feel better. Still skipping yoga today.
Tomorrow there is a Meeting. There will be subs and cake at the Meeting. Why is Detailed AGM bribing us? I has a :dubious: about this.
I need a nap too. Today was a long, busy day. Tomorrow is more of the same. I need one day to just catch up, daggit.
Plantage has occurred - 6 peonies, 6 clumps of daylilies, and a couple of clumps of mondo grass. The sprinkler is giving the hill a drink.
And I’ve got my car back from the shop - brakes are still OK, but my wheels were out of balance so they took care of that and changed my cabin air filter, and I’m probably good for another year. So yay. I’ll take the truck in next month for its oil change - it’s been since August, so it’s probably due.
**FCD **is home futzing with his bike. Supper will be whatever - I didn’t thaw anything and we’re not really hungry anyway. So there’s that.
And I joined the Twitterverse, just to see what the deal is. I may not last long, but I had to try. Right?
I could have sworn I posted this morning. I had the whole thing planned out and then . . .
. . . oh, yeah. Swampy’s back hair. It made me think of two things and sent me on an internet search for a link. Then I ran out of time and had to get my shoes on and git.
The first thing was a character in at least one Sharyn McCrumb novel, with the nickname Hill Bear. The character got the nickname when his HS French teacher gave a French pronunciation to his name: Hilbert. The Ballad Novels have a Hill Bear and the MMP has a Swamp Bear.
The second thing will make more sense with the link. I’ll look for that after work.
Rosie - I’ll burn some ten year old audit papers dedicated to the small gods of red tape.
We always get second best! :mad:
It’s Spiderman, right there in bold letters in what you quoted. :smack:
Mooommm, make sure you follow the AP news feed for all the hacked news that’s (not) fit for tweeting. :eek:
Dear WhatChaMaCallIt,
Spider who?
Regards,
CP
One Sri Lankan spider headed to Arkansas. 
Dindin is et. Pot roast. I done good once again.
I would like some ranch dressing with that, please.
Believe it or not, I’d gladly trade you my upper 80s.
Splitting the difference would be even better.
Trying to figure out what to have for a rather late lunch. Breakfast was a pear, I’ve snacked a little bit (nacho cheese Doritos), really should get something more substantial, dunno what to bother putting together.
Er Flytrap you are going to need a bigger trap:)
Jim
Flytrap havin’ his dindin.
**FCD **has asked me to make him a helmet liner, so I’m gonna assume the knit position and log off.
Laterzzz!!
We need a really big fan, and a lot of pipe.
Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) bought Hamburger Helper ™ for dinner.
Hashem had a reason for these dietary laws.
I feel so cheap…

Actually it’s my back hair that gets all feathery.

The MRI guys apologized for what they did to my carpet when they taped those nuts on me last week.
Appointment with Spineydoc on Thursday. I need to find out who had the stupid idea that I didn’t want to do anything about my back despite going through multiple injections and scans. Hopefully I can come out of there with them understanding that I’m giving them a blank check.
At least DH gets de-Borged next week.
Father O’Reilly says I should have a beer, and drink it over.
If it could go wrong, it did today.
I remembered! This is the link to the second thingthat I thought of at the mention of Swampy’s back hair.
It’s a small backstory in the webcomic Digger regarding the origin of the Oracular Slugs. The backstory is fun and only takes a few pages. The story about the back hair, on the other hand, is the mere two sentences of author comment that’s posted beneath the first page.
Blow them off. But don’t blow too hard. Because that can cause early labor.
