Does anyone have a Merriam Webster dictionary? I have a style question and my dictionary is the American Heritage.

Trust my rage

We have a Capresso and love it. We've had it for 10 years now. (Well, actually, the first one got worn out after Joe took it took Iraq but they gave us a brand new one for a very good deal.)

Because books.

I do, Barb. It's also online.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Coming in a little late to the scar conversation....my most interesting scar is near my left knee. I slipped while hiking in Wadi Qelt and gashed my knee. Probably needed stitches, but I was with a tour group and our "medic" was a guy who had had the standard Israeli army service. So my leg was bandaged, and I still have a scar 20 years later.

The rest of my scars are either animal inflicted(mostly cat scratches, but a conure pecked the back of my hand), work related (sometimes I work with razors and scalpel blades) or medical.

Urk. Of course it is. I swear, my brain is melting. So apparently "mind-set" is first choice for M-W? It looks odd to me and spell check doesn't care, one way or the other.

I'll go with the M-W since that's the house style.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Oh, scar stories! Nothing so interesting as hiking in Wadi Qelt, unfortunately.

I have two scars each from knives and bricks (well, three from knives if you count the time my sister sliced two of my fingers while we were cutting up white chocolate for almond bark), one from falling on the sharp corner of our toy box (six stitches right above my eyebrow), and one from slicing my knee on a broken lawn chair.

That's what mine says, Barb. Also, most publishers (of fiction) use M-W for house style, so you might want to pick one up. I need a new one actually -- mine is really old. But I don't love their site.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Bagel scar in the meat of my left wrist. Wouldn't stop bleeding until I got butterflies on it, and you can still feel the hole in the muscle beneath the skin that never healed shut.

The rest are surgical, or psychic.

The problem is that there are too many options! And then everything depends on the model, which often isn't available anymore. It's maddening.

My big problem is that I'd like to offer 1 nicer machine, but I know that if we do, others on my team will not want to have a truly random drawing, which I think is completely unethical.

I think I'm going to suggest the De Longhi that Nicole linked to because that comes up a lot as the best budget machine and it's an Italian brand.
