Please, don't be sorry. There is great pleasure in reading, writing and speaking in "tongues". There is always a need for obfuscation of language to keep one's vocabulary growing and finding ways to use the skill to confuse the hell out of people just for the fun of it. And that vocabulary knowledge goes a long way in working a good crossword puzzle.

i have been considering this bowl...amazon has it for eleven bux.....also the captains choice bowl looks nice...but not so deep.

I think we discussed these ceramic bowls a couple of years ago and they were the rage then. Guys were smoothing out the insides with sandpaper of some sort.
