    so I must ask, how would Munimula be pronounced down under?

    btw that's a secret word spelled backwards. don't know why I still remember that from some obscure 1960s cartoon where one of the characters was from the Planet Munimula. go figure...........

    Hard to blow my nose and laugh at the same time.
    Nah, I do it all the time, add coughing and it gets real funny. Gotta keep those super-absorbent paper towels around to clean up the mess.
    What bothers me is 'jest' instead of 'just'. Lets see how far that goes.
    Wife's aunt always wanted to 'carry me' someplace.
    Whatever!

    What do you guys think about when your asleep???
    Those who choose violence as a first option are typically confronted by somebody else using violence as a last resort.

    Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.

    In the terms that might reach across political boundaries, I'm exercising my 1st Amendment rights to support the 2nd Amendment..

    Personally as an American, I agree with gwpercle and see the spelling "Mold" as the primary definition, but "Mould" to disambiguate the second. Doesn't matter if it's British spelling or American spelling.

    If you want to change my opinion, maybe there should be an additional amendment to the Constitution requiring a College Degree in English in order to be able to register to take a test to determine my abilities to express my opinion on word meanings. If that pans out, then maybe Hillary would not be running for Congress again.. Ever.. Again...

    I have zero respect for someone who can only spell a word one way.

    I was once told that a mold was a product of a mould. Spellcheck disagrees but that's happened before.
