says that the original word was champing, as a bit is metal and therefore not eaten. chomping means to eat noisily, doesn't really apply to bits. but both are being used now.
Thanks for this...I now have that site bookmarked. I love it. I'm going to continue to use "chomp" rather than "champ", but I will modify "bits" to "bit".

Anne...my work is a large part of who I am. I do use it on occasion to avoid dealing with the real issues, but T knew I seriously needed to discuss it this time because the change of job duties (I'm going to keep the job title "Program Development Coordinator" since this change is supposed to be temporary) is causing me some distress.

JSG...I hope you get back to some semblance of comfort in your therapy very soon. I know the drama is distressing.

Eeyore...I do love these sessions, especially after a difficult one like I had Wednesday.
