Then you must know, Jenny, that it was there that Ringo supposedly coined the term, "groty" which later became "grody" (from the word, grotesque).
Consider becoming a member, Jenny. There are no hidden catches and the Personal Message feature can be quite nice.

Additional facts about me:

I am very safety conscious and am always alert (especially in the workplace) for potential safety issues.

My first starring stage appearance was in the role of "The Littlest Christmas Tree" in fourth grade. Mom made my costume. It consisted of a Kelly green, felt, A-line skirt with a similar overshirt and a conical hat. No photos were taken, fortunately.

I once aspired to become a high school choir teacher/director. I had a hero who was one and who inspired and nurtured my musical potential. I wanted to emulate him. While I don't regret not having followed the path that would have led me toward that career, I do wonder sometimes how it might have been.

I am a people-watcher. I love getting small glimpses of folks being themselves and doing whatever it is that they do. I think most people are fascinating. One of my all-time favorite quotations is: "There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy." -- Mark Twain
