Comments on: Introduction to the new category: WORDS http://carmemily.com/2009/10/10/introduction-to-the-new-category-words/ Carmen and Emily started this blog to commemorate their long standing friendship. In February 2010 Emily joined the Navy and hasn't had reliable internet since. While Carmen wistfully awaits contact she has decided to only post pictures of the sky until Emily's return.

I had to look up <i>supernal</i> - great new word! 1. being in or belonging to the heaven of divine beings; heavenly, celestial, or divine. 2. lofty; of more than earthly or human excellence, powers, etc. 3. being on high or in the sky or visible heavens.

I like playing with them. Words are clean. They soar in the serene supernal. I can take them out and look at them, they fit into books, they lead me down that narrow way. And in the morning they are there. Words are straight. But the world is round and a messy mortal is my friend. I found that somewhere in a book of poems when I was about 30 years old. I'm older now. Words are still straight but I took care of the messy mortal. He is no longer my friend. I didn't write down the poets name. I love words. I like playing with them. Words are clean.

I found that somewhere in a book of poems when I was about 30 years old. I’m older now. Words are still straight but I took care of the messy mortal.

He is no longer my friend.

I didn’t write down the poets name.

But then I realized - wait, stop the presses! That is exactly why you pose a question in the first place! Bravo Carmen and Dad! So, it can stay. But...poultry, like fowl, is a word generally used for live chickens, like a <i>poultry</i> farmer; one usually does not look at a platter of food and say "that is some delectable poultry" the way one would say "great steak" or "tender veal." So I still think there needs to be another word for the chicken we eat. (ug. But don't google <i>poultry</i> because you will get all kinds of horrifying images and descriptions on commercial poultry farms which result in the overwhelming urge to go picket a KFC.) Yeah, I've always wanted to know the military alphabet, too - nothing like making it mandatory to inspire my learning! I am not sure if they still use morse code, although I don't see why not, so let's learn it!

Thanks for the military alphabet! I've always wanted to know that. I'm going to commit it to memory so I can keep up with you and your developing military knowledge. Should I learn Morse code? It would come in handy and would also help me in developing my hermetic tendencies. Yeah, good intro! btw, chicken is also called poultry. Thanks for the military alphabet!
