I had no intention of this being so long… over 550 words. It is what it is! I think it’s a pretty easy read!
Enjoy!!

fun with words
Before I get into the meat of this, I wanted to share a little about this photo. The original image (snapping turtle) was taken at the Baltimore Aquarium, in the Inner Harbor. Quite a few years ago. My son had been diagnosed with Bronchial Papaloma and had to go to John’s Hopkins Hospital for surgery and check ups. On the days he had check ups, we went to the aquarium afterwards. This made the experience a little more enjoyable, as he had to have a tube stuck up his nose and down his throat to check for the papaloma. Papaloma are basically warts. When they did this procedure, he was fully awake. When they first discovered the papaloma, he was only in first grade. How he got the disease, I have no idea…
Anyway, while I was going to school at Shepherd University, I took an alternative photography class. One assignment was to juxtapose two images together. One of the images I came up with is this… I added the retainer to the snapping turtle’s mouth.
the following comes from Mitchell Symons book, The Weird World of Words…

On The Limits of Words
A pangram:
(a sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet at least once)
words that changed their meaning over time:
hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!
I’m an acorn small and round
Lying on the cold, cold ground
Every one walks over me
That is why I’m cracked you see
~ I’m A Nut ~
~ I’m A Nut ~
~ I’m A Nut ~
Called Myself on the telephone
Just to hear my golden tone
Asked me out for a little date
Picked me up ’bout half past eight
~ I’m A Nut ~
~ I’m A Nut ~
~ I’m A Nut ~
Took myself to the movie theater
Stayed to late and said “Let’s go!”
Took my hand and led me out
Drove me home and gave a shout
~ I’m A Nut ~
~ I’m A Nut ~
~ I’m A Nut ~
Took myself to the movie show
Sat myself in the very first row
Put my arms around my waist
Got so fresh I slapped my face.
Ha!Ha! Could you imagine growing up with me as a mom?
take care
stay safe
much love
