Occurred to me yesterday that my "auto-refill" and "mail-to-home"
scripts have not arrived for the month. Gee. I wonder WHAT could
POSSIBLY be wrong?!?! You know... 2017 and all.
No dire NEED for them... quite a stockpile has accumulated. (Doc
writing scripts for 2, 3, 4x the actual dosage.) But I keep filling
them in preparation for TrumpCare-o-Geddon.
Will call pharmacy at 09h00 ... then "New York State of
for another round of getting nowhere.
Grrr.
G'mornin, snails!
Got all gussied up for new work pics this morning. Too bad I missed the e-mail notification that the day was moved to tomorrow.

i found a kindred soul
''Alternative meaning: Although the majority of participants agreed with the dictionaries, a strong minority of participants had a completely different definition and had heard of no other. These participants, including myself, believe "ornery" to mean a good-spirited trickster, a cute yet exasperating individual, or someone who is mischievous (with a positive connotation). Many thought of a favorite and sweet wily grandparent or an adorable child who is always pulling April-fools-type tricks. The individuals who recognized this definition primarily came from the Midwest. Only a few participants recognized both the majority and minority definitions of the word. A few participants fell somewhere between the two definitions, i.e., a prankster but in the negative sense.
As one who has known only the pronunciation and meaning of "ornery" that is not recognized by any dictionary, I have an interest in creating awareness of my understanding of the "word." Perhaps Language Log could assist me in my quest to successfully recommend an amended or alternative entry in the dictionaries for the word "ornery."
