  1. grift verb | GRIFT Definition 1 : to obtain (money) illicitly (as in a confidence game) 2 : to acquire money or property illicitly Grift was born in the argot of the underworld, a realm in which a "grifter" might be a pickpocket, a crooked gambler, or a confidence man—any criminal who relied on skill and wits rather than physical violence—and to be "on the grift" was to make a living by stings and clever thefts. Grift may have evolved from graft, a slightly older word meaning "to acquire dishonestly," but its exact origins are uncertain. We do know that the verb grift first finagled its way into print in the early 20th century, as demonstrated in George Bronson-Howard's 1915 novel God's Man, where it appears in gerund form: "Grifting ain't what it used to be. Fourteenth Street's got protection down to a system—a regular underworld tariff on larceny."

    Chapter 6

    oh that's creepy. i've been contacted by people who know things or have had similar real life experiences, not THAT real life however. It makes you prick up your ears for sure! just for the record, i hate redheads.. like nails on a black board.. i have to put it out of my mind to read anything with them in... yuck. but it was a good chapter and i am good at lying to myself. i've known a few.. they were nice people, but not attractive to me at all.
  3. @AC Benus tetchy .. i love that one..
  4. love you, sean ... talk to us anytime ... as i said, sometimes it's easier to talk to others first, then to Sir. Mac Sir and John both helped me and then i could go to Michael about it . xoxox

  9. Should say, sorry to keep you waiting
  10. Yep, if only ... have a good day.
  11. Good morning ... have a good day all. avuncular adjective | uh-VUNK-yuh-ler Definition 1 : suggestive of an uncle especially in kindliness or geniality 2 : of or relating to an uncle Not all uncles are likeable fellows (Hamlet's murderous Uncle Claudius, for example, isn't exactly Mr. Nice Guy in William Shakespeare's tragedy), but avuncular reveals that, as a group, uncles are generally seen as affable and benevolent, if at times a bit patronizing. Avuncular derives from the Latin noun avunculus, which translates as "maternal uncle," but since at least the 19th century English speakers have used avuncular to refer to uncles from either side of the family or even to individuals who are simply uncle-like in character or behavior. And in case you were wondering, avunculus is also an ancestor of the word uncle itself. Personally i think this is rather lame advise for people in the real world, but that's just me. You can decide for yourself:
  12. good night everyone .. thanks for all of the support today .. you all helped me a lot. xooxo
