Play off last prior post, in any way, without using any word with E in its orthography. Similar to this post. ---

This can work similar to Trivia Dominos, play off a word in prior post, any topic, just run with it. Stick to actual words, no odd constructions. ---

That’s not fair - jtur88’s initial post had an E in it! I take it that didn’t count as a word? Oops, it looks like this post did that too. ---

I concur. It’s a good button to push. Or should I say buttons as it’s actually a combination of two? ---

But a solo symbol found by ctl-F is so tiny, it won’t jump out at you, if found. So you can miss it. ---

Buying is just taking your dollars and finding out what you now got is not what you wish you had. Lost funds bring much gloom for your bank account. ---

I don’t want to fight but think it’s obvious what Biotop was saying. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I don’t want to fight but think it’s obvious what Biotop was saying. Thank you. Sorry for any confusion. Possibly this can assist \*\*astorian \*\* in clarification of my thoughts: Not having cash, but owning crap brings much disgust to this individual. You cannot buy your way out of such a quandary. Put savings in your bank not in junk! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-e/797709.md?page=2)
