Can someone tell me

Why a television is referred to as a "set"?



What it looks like when someone "hunkers down"?



When it will stop snowing on the east coast?



If it will start snowing here in PNW? (Not that I want some; just wanna know when I can safely take off my snow tires.)



If 11 A.M. is too early to eat lunch?


If this color looks good on me?


Do pet bunnies come when they're called? (Considering pet acquisiton.)


If I'm boring you. . . . . .


GOOD!

Wow: the February 8th Newsweek's cover article is a really thorough article about anti-depressants & research showing they test as only slightly more effective than placebos for treating depression.



There is also a half page opposing opinion article, but the doctor who wrote it mentions placebos only once in the rebuttal and doesn't seem to really understand what it means for something to be not much better than a placebo. He lost his sister in the World Trade Center bombing, which certainly seems like a good reason to be depressed if there is one.

Where HAVE I been? you've all been asking......

Well, I've spent every waking hour trying to get out of the very low, and low scoring section of Boggle. Not having played Boggle till I was almost a gramma, perhaps I am at a disadvantage? Anyway, I just played a game, and here are some of the words I did NOT see (curve raisers out there....)

arse, dern, demy, nares, nef, nurs, reny, runed, ser, smur, unde, yar, yare, aue, myna, yuan, yug, yugs, ugs, ren, rems, nur, nares, gus, ary, and on and on and on.

I'm not sure all those words are words, and if they are, whether they'd be allowed in Scrabble, at least. But having said that, let me assure you I spend a minimal amount of time on this site, since a game takes I think 4 minutes, and to get yet another "LOW" sends me to another website where I can BUY something!
