In Jamaica, Marcia is pronounce mar-see-ya, and if you want to be called mar-sha, you should spell your name Marsha. I'm still not over that assumption.

The first Marcia I ever met (she and her husband were friends of my parents) was Jamaican, and it screwed me up for the Americanized version.

Words with Friends wouldn't let me play "slut." I'm a bit offended.

Words with Friends has denied other mildly off-color words for me. It's a little prudish.

I checked their word list, and it's on there, but they say they don't allow offensive words. I know it was blocking something else for me I was sure was a word, and I guess that was it too.

Hmph. Words with friends does not know their etymology very well, because slut only came to mean a promiscuous woman fiarly recently.

For centuries, it meant a slovenly woman, usually in a housekeeping or an appearance contest. That's why an old term for dust bunnies is "slut's wool."

I bet there's porn where she still is.

My mother is a Marcia, pronounced Marsha.

Oy, two 8 year olds in the livingroom. One will be going home soon.

Mine too, unless you are my father, and then it's Marsher

Timelies all!

It's raining, I still don't know my work status, and I'm tired. At least it's Friday.

Okay, if I finish processing these checks, I can go lie down and watch hockey. And, you know, have the money from the checks. C'mon motivation, this is the only thing I've asked of you all day. And I already broke the task up into smaller chunks and rewarded with ice cream halfway through.

Hmm. Now that I look at that, I see perhaps there was a small flaw in my motivational strategy.
