Hi Fleurette; you wrote: You people sure make my day with your funny definitions...keep it up. BC, Canada - glad to hear we have another Canadian amid us - I'm from Kenora, Ont. Fleurette Fleurette, this is not funny. This is very serious stuff! Yesterday George taught me a new word ... Blepharospasm. Bill Heitman taught me how to say it. Gail also gave me a new word ... nychthemeron Pronounced \nick-THEHM-uh-rahn (TH as in "think")\ (noun) meaning ... A period of a full night and a day Overnite I imagined the following scenario: A medical student spends 7 years to get a doctorate and upon his graduation tells his proud mother "I've decided to specialize in Blepharospasm"! His beaming mother blinks back tears of joy for an entire nychthemeron. (7 years of dreams dashed in a blephrospasm, but then he could have specialized in ptosis.........) my apologies to anyone suffering these afflictions... All the very best to all my cyber friends.......Murray [log in to unmask]
