From the Greek work rheuma (flowing current) and the suffix ology (the study of). The term "rheumatology" was coined in the 1940s by Bernard Comroe and Joseph Lee Hollander.

Please, people, if you're able send a few dollars to Mom Comicality's GoFundMe account, because she's having a really rough go of it. I'm not financially that well off myself, but I've found a way to slip her some money a couple of times. It's partially in memory of a great guy, a fellow author and many of you have enjoyed his work, and his mom who's finding it difficult to make ends meet without her son's contributions to the monthly expenses. I know things are tight for most of you, including myself, but I'm sure there are some of you out there who can spare a few dollars, pounds, francs, marks, or whatever. This is a great community and I'd like to see everyone come together to help out the mother of one of our founding members and a guy that was always there to help whoever he could. If it looks as if I'm down on my knees pleading with you, it's because I am, for Mom Comicality's sake.

I know what you're going through, Steve, because it seems like all I've done lately was go to doctor's appointment to be prodded and poked, and not in a fun way either. The pulmonologist is one of the few specialists I haven't seen, but I hope your situation improves for you.

I guess all of t he official greeters beat me to the punch, but I'd still like to welcome all of the new members. This is a great place, with plenty to read for nearly all tastes, so enjoy. And don't forget to leave comments or click on one of the emojis is you like something. That's all the payment the authors receive for their effort.

Those two women can fight it out on their own time, not in my story!

Damn, when did this change to the cooking channel? I'm glad you we re able to slip in a couple of short comments about the story at the end.

The GA version of William Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Lord Byron, John Keats, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Emily Dickinson, Maya Angelou , Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Rudyard Kipling, Oscar Wilde, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, T.S. Eliot, and Lewis Carroll, or at least budding in that direction.

drs, I'm so glad you finished your Julia Child imitation long enough to slip in a comment about the chapter at the end. Anyway, I hope you guys have a wonderful baking experience over the holidays and drp can find some mincemeat he finds acceptable. Don't take me wrong, I love all of you guys.

Thanks, Chris. I thought it would be romantic as well, but maybe this group would have been happier if they'd just handcuffed themselves together or if Devin had transitioned into Cupid and shot Mac with an arrow. All kidding aside, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

See my answer to @Paladin, Lee.

Well, I suppose if you life in the southwest US you could lasso them and brand them! Where you place the brand would be your choice, of course. Maybe those living in the UK and other areas might have something equally attractive, such as maybe just kidnapping your intended and locking them up in a castle or your small flat, but I'm fine with having an engagement ring or a neck collar. 😜

Thank god, another guy who hangs out in low places.

I'm glad you interrupted the Betty Crocker pie discussion with something about the story. On New Year's Eve when the booze gets flowing, I've witnessed a few fights. Some have been between strangers, but a few have been within a family. I guess that's because I can't afford the elite and classy New Year's Eve parties and hangout with Garth Brooks friends in low places.

A pulmonologist is a doctor who specializes in the respiratory system, including the lungs and airways. They are trained to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions that affect the respiratory system, such as infections, inflammation, and tumors.

Pulmonologist comes from Latin, pulmo (lung), combined with the suffix "ologist", meaning an expert in a specific field.

I didn't realize you were a frozen pie connoisseur.

Damn, I thought "Code Pooh" meant a guest had a bowel movement on a ride.

People of the Jewish and Islamic religions aren't supposed to eat any part of a pig, which you cover by stating religious concerns. Other than that, I think ham is a safe bet.

I believe they'll agree not to wear any jewelry most of the time, except formal occasions and when they're alone. They also realize, as you did, that the rings and other jewelry might be a problem if they're forced to transition. Good catch though.

I'm happy to share this story with you, and even though some suspected this was coming after Devin talked Mac into having his ring fingers sized at the start of the school year, I thought they might have forgotten by now. Besides, I thought it was a good way to start the New Year.

Chapter 38 – A New Year’s Eve to Remember The McCaskill’s SUV pulled in the driveway a little after 1:00 on Saturday, December 30th, the day before the New Year’s Eve dinner. I went out to greet them, as well as to help carry their suitcases inside. This time instead of just having a suitcase, Devin and Pa had black garment bags for their suits, and Ma had a clear gown bag for the dress she’d be wearing tomorrow night. I took Ma and Pa’s suitcases inside, while Devin carried his suitca

Carl, I'm sorry to hear about what you've been going through and I pray it will all turn out all right.

If you can afford to, Comicality's Mom can still use a little financial support, which she lost when Comicality died. Here's the link to GoFundMe: Support for Comicality's Mother in a Very Difficult Time

I would respond "It's October 14th."

I think gay youth have a different impression for squirty cream.
