Reading Deborah Cameron's new book on sexism & language. She says early online Oxford Dictionary omits "cunt" but not "bitch. She thinks editors were squeamish re offending readers but I wonder if it's because in NAmEng "cunt" is clearly fem while in BrEng it can be masc or fem. Thoughts?

It turns out that blood tests show I'm very allergic to cats. The allergist office suggests"wash cats if possible." Enjoy this photo of my allergan-producers.

My great-grandmother Janet Sobel with her friend John Dewey. He would kick my mother when she was a little girl and crawling under the dining table. So Mom bit him.

New old rug! Do you see a television? No! Because it's covered by a TV cozy on the blue cabinet.

Setting my timer to do The Things today, from putting away laundry to revising the book conclusion. Happy Sunday!

When you consider the currency that other company used, I'd want to avoid counterfeiting as well!
