    fundamental to the rules are that you use a word. There is a finite number of words. If we just add letters to real word and allow them, this will get real silly real quick.

    Fortunately I'm home now, so I have started a spreadsheet (;) :P) to list all the words that have been used so far. So long as I refer to it and keep it updated I should at least not fail in using words already used.

    Fastidious about it, I am too. I have Conditional Formatting set to highlight any duplicate words and all. It's a beaut. :)

    Forty would be worse. I can't handle the heat. At least today you can put on more layers.


    (PS, cause I can't say it in a post on its own without breaking the streak, but, great idea Keith! Thanks for starting.)

    Forgetful, but has this been answered? As "Freddie" and "Friday" have already been used I presume proper nouns are allowed?

    Finished my book just now. My 31st of the year. Four more this year to beat my record in a year (I'm a slow reading, m'kay!). Not bad for a year meant to be dedicated to college work. Therein, I think, lies one of the reasons for leaving.
