I appreciate your "phraseology" - I always learn something new when reading your blog. <br /><br />That word is from one of my favorite musicals, The Music Man. Mayor Shinn is constantly telling his daughter, "You watch your phraseology!"stash haushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244605573080920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-21625696543411713672011-05-05T01:41:43.043+01:002011-05-05T01:41:43.043+01:00Thank you for explaining that.

So usually she calls me up, tells me what she wants, gives me her CC number and has me order it for her. Works fine that way... until she is buying me something for my birthday or for Christmas. Then she has to rustle up my nephew who lives with her and make him order it and he is less patient about the whole thing (he is also 16, so they tend to be more impatient at that age.)Angelhttp://knittingangel.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-30015552829609802252011-05-04T14:26:02.053+01:002011-05-04T14:26:02.053+01:00Sorry to leave a second comment but there was no w...Sorry to leave a second comment but there was no way to fix the last one.

In the end everyone was so confused about how it would work it got voted down. We were all understandably reluctant to vote in a system the government couldn't explain. And C. might have complained about not understanding you, but one of the many things I enjoy about your blog is how it expands my vocabulary. I don't have to sign up for a "word of the day" to come to my inbox. I just read Jean's Knitting. :-)<br /><br />I was surprised to read that you don't have British citizenship. Is it not possible to hold both US and British? <br /><br />I hope Franklin reads your blog and gives you permission to slip into his class!kristienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-85089381750264443582011-05-04T14:04:46.715+01:002011-05-04T14:04:46.715+01:00Hi Jean,

It was the only way to preserve a third party and kept the republicans and democrats honest. Cincinnati had a black mayor in the '50s (from the Charter Party) It otherwise couldn't have happened in a city that segregated back then.<br /><br />In the Clinton administration the President wanted to appoint a progressive black woman to the post of Attorney General. The nomination was withdrawn because her advocacy of PR was considered "un-american". My, my.Roger LeComptehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218433359065967288noreply@blogger.com
