I remember trying to research pterodactyls and getting upset when I couldn't find teradacto in the encyclopedia. I was like 10.

I do that with a lot of things. I'll say them weird and watch for reactions. I figure some people get uncomfortable and try not to laugh or react... I just figure I'm levelling the playing field since I'm always uncomfortable.

I contacted an attorney today... ugh. The office was closed, forgot it is a holiday today. So, now I am waiting for a call back. I guess I am serious about this next step.

T was really supportive of me today, one of the last exchanges we had was him saying I have his number and I can text him if need him. I said I no.. and he said, I really mean that. Good to know somebody is there for me.

Right now I feel like I am going to have a major panic attack, I hate this feeling.

I guess "impossible" is not in your dictionary.
I think m-w means Merriam Webster.

I can't believe I've been around for an entire couch. It's silly but somehow I feel apart of the "couch group". So, thanks.

My dictionary freakout was when i looked up one word - i just remember it started with an r - and its meaning was another word that i didnt know, that started with a p, and ITS meaning was the r-word! And there was nothing else given for either word! I kept flipping back and forth, hoping it would come out differently, but it wouldnt. After that i kinda gave up on dictionaries and tried to GLEAN the meanings of words from their context.

If wiki isnt awake, i can start a new couch, unless one of you newbies want to! You are more than welcome to.

Nothing says love like the gift of words.

And their meaning so they can be used correctly.

Hey it's not just SD who causes the dictionary to come out.

No, no.... Someone else can do it.

that is one of the few things that can help me get out of my head .if it is a good book I can get lost.
