Are all live-ins like a promotion on a non-returnable product? I think they are.***I have a strong urge to use the nonexistent word - irregardless. Irregardless of my urge, i'll leave that for another day.

Have you ever wondered why 'W' is pronounced double-U?I have the answer. It's because it looks like a pair of cascaded Us, UU, double-U.Some of you might have an argument for VV, double-V ?

Last i knew, the primary colors were Red, Green and Blue. RGB.I had a heated debate with a photographer from London who insisted that the primary colors are Red, Yellow and Blue.

I've been away from Bloggerville doing many different things. I've traveled a lot this month (both for work and for pleasure). I still have a lot of catching up to do with all the blogs i frequent.*My two best friends - the Devil and the Scarecrow- got hitched on the 20th. I had my work cut out as the Devil's appointed photographer. She is a pretty little Devil but with the Scarecrow by her side,

Here's what one's got to do."Comment and I'll give you a letter, list ten things you LOVE which begin with that letter, then post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own."A Reader from India assigned the letter 'T' and here's my spin on it.1.
