I've never tasted it either and the only marmalade I've ever had was orange marmalade.

unrequited - Word of the Day - Sat May 6, 2023
Bill W commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Technically, unrequited means to pay back or pay up, so you can have an unrequited service where you pay for or solicit a service but it is never fulfilled, but you seldom hear it used with anything other than love. -
Now that's a big freaking spider. The guy needs a much larger container and possibly some help, because even if he gets the spider in the container, it could merely jump out as the guy climbs down. He needs someone with a lid to slip over whatever he catches the spider in to make sure it stays inside.

Yes, I'm sure there might be a few you'd rather throw from the train.

Syntax is an important element to writing, especially if you want the reader to be able to make sense of what you're saying and be able to follow along. It's also important in speaking as well, and In recent years, I've heard some politicians speak at rallies or answer reporters questions and felt they should have listened better and done their homework in their English classes. eg, do you throw papa from the train a kiss or throw a kiss to papa from the train?

Even though my comment isn't technically correct, I like it better. 😅

Just of our curiosity, is the use of the word farce due to the British use of the word 'arse'? Possibly they're talking about ideas that seem to come out of one's ass?

A mottling of the skin, usually in the legs, may happen shortly before death.

Sure, Terry, we don't discriminate.

Looks yummy, but I prefer it when my food isn't moving.

William Shatner in Kingdom of the Spiders? This would have been between the Original Star Trek TV series and before the Star Trek movies. I guess he couldn't get away from those weird looking co-stars. like the Klingons, Romulans, Andorians, Balok, etc.

I try to intermix the fun parts in whenever I can without making it sound forced.

What can I say. I'm doing what the characters dictate and they don't always agree with what you want or when you want it. Not all characters think the same way you guys do, because wouldn't that be a little boring?

Tony, I don't think Devin ever refused to tell Mac and he will do it eventually, but obviously he didn't think that was a good time to do it. Be patient and you will learn all.

I'm just glad I didn't decide to be a speech therapist.

Now this I understand, since I spent a summer semester in London.

Hmmm, it sounds like a split personality and each personality was able to do something different during the same time period.

I found that getting exuberant about things lessened over the years. I'm not sure if that's bad, or just to be expected.

Yes, I'm sure there are groups that saw Rezzik both ways, and hopefully Devin will never become one of the bad guys.

Thanks for that info, Clancy, and it helps to point out the fact that every college/university is different. I hope I didn't offend anyone at Devin's assumption, but without the experience in the dorms, it was merely his opinion, although he might have also been considering the emergency rescue aspect as well.

Yes, that's very true, and that's why I don't like to go to class reunions. There were too many of those guys in my graduating class, although there's fewer of them that are still alive.

Yes, Mac is already becoming annoyed with Devin about his withholding the information until later, but he always comes clean, eventually. And the reason I mention the movie The Princess Bride was I knew that way the readers would get a good idea about what Mr. Hyde looked like - only better looking. 😁 Some may have remembered Andre the Giant from his time in the wrestling ring, but I felt more would get the picture better from the movie.

We may see if that transformation happens, Terry, although not right away. There's some time in between before classes begin.
