FABULOUS WORDS!
Let's prepone our chica trip to TODAY!
what do you think of THAT?
Love the words. But I wonder why Valentine's Day in March? hm...
Anyway, gotta go, I feel a sternutation coming on.
We used to celebrate Valentime's Day. Not anymore.
Let's prepone our chica trip to TODAY!
OH YES!!! DO THAT!!!!
Great words!
Some of my son's classmates parents (helping with the Valentine's party) referred to the day as Valentime's Day.
That is cute coming from a child, but it kind of grates on me the same way as when folks say, "I picked up some books at the Libarry", lol.
...oh yes...and all the adornments we wear on our fingers and around our necks...you know...jewry!
I so enjoy word of the day Wednesday. I hope you having a great day!
Love these. They remind me of sniglets of yore.
Around here, it was Balemtime's Day.
And, we sit on our "bommons". Later morphing to "bottomons".

I've never heard of "nocebo;" however, I have heard of a term "placebo" which has the same meaning...
