    Yes, I believe most of the readers were expecting this and Ben didn't let them down.

    Yes, Ben doesn't appear to be totally straight. And I knew some of you would comment on the rides you'd enjoyed if you'd gone to Disney World in the past.

    Chapter 26 – An Interesting Disney Vacation Tuesday started out the same as the day before. My mom called our room to make sure we were up, and then we all went down to have breakfast together. Katy was sitting with my parents at one table and the three of us sat together at another table. At one point during the meal, Katy asked a question. “Which park are we going to today?” “This time we’ll be going to Disney’s Hollywood Studios,” Dad replied. “Ok,” and then she ta

    Wroth is considered an old-fashioned way to say 'irate' or 'infuriated'.
  8. Bill W
    Wroth comes from the Old English word 'wrao' (angry, tomented, twisted) It may have then come from Middle English words wraththe or wreththe anger, fury, rage, animosity, hostility, deadly sin of wrath)

    Sure they did. They knew about Africa, since they had to sail around it to get to the East Indies. They just had a limited viewpoint where that was concerned.

    John Faed (1820-1902) painted "The Wappenshaw: A Shooting Match" and it became his most important work. It was displayed at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1863 and The Royal Academy in London in 1866.

    From Old English, in particular Scottish, meaning 'weapon show'. Was originally a gathering of troops in every district in Scotland to satisfy military chiefs that men were well trained and their weapons were in good shape. Word was adapted from Old Norse. Wapenshaw is short for the Scottish term 'wapenshawing'.

    Childhood Prompts

    Bill W commented on Valkyrie's blog entry in Writing World

    @Valkyrie As far as your comment about your Grandmother insisted on being 20 minutes early, I grew up always hearing the phrase, 'If you're not early, you're late." So, to make sure you were early, you allowed plenty of leeway time, in case of unforeseen problems. As far as prompt #238, those quirks could range from juvenile, out of fear, due to past experiences, or just plain kinky. I can't wait to read some of those prompts. lol

    Yes, I'm sure Ben is curious and gentle, just not a bear (extremely hairy).

    I see that everyone has given various meanings for the surname Wassermann, but you've missed the obvious. It came about because it was the term used to describe a water carrier. Sounds like a fun job, or should I say boring. It's similar to the surname Zimmerman, which came about because it referred to a carpenter in German.

    Is it bad luck or a problems at the top?

    Last Call!

    Bill W commented on Valkyrie's blog entry in Gay Authors News

    For a second you had my confused. Hearing the words 'Last Call', in my head had me thinking that I was back in college and out having a good time with my friends. Thanks for the memories.

    In Scottish English wanchancy can also mean ill-fated or mischievous.
  21. Bill W
    This word comes from Middle English, circa 1510s. Wan (deficient) + chance + y. In other words, deficient chance or unlucky. This word is used in Scottish English.

    The tachistoscope is credited to the German physiologist A. W. Volkmann in 1859. During World War II Samuel Renshaw used it to train fighter pilots to be able to help them identify silhouettes of aircraft as being either friend or foe.

    I believe it's because you have to have a true Libertarian mindset to do it effectively, so you and @Myr seem to possess that requirement.
  24. Bill W
    Yes, absolutely.

    I agree with your evaluation, but you'll have to wait to see what goes down.
