The Sahara Desert, Lake Dal (India), Mount Fuji and the Ouse River are just a few of the many examples of pleonasms (just in case you want to wow the seventh-graders with your erudition). Torpenhow Hill in Cumbria, England is another - 'tor', 'pen', and 'how' all mean hill as, of course, does 'hill.'Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03040402805274505304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-68379940038906255802009-09-26T15:28:51.241-07:002009-09-26T15:28:51.241-07:00You said that sex wasn't everything, maybe som...You said that sex wasn't everything, maybe some people think alcohol is BETTER hence three comments.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-84711856952990742612009-09-26T04:53:47.239-07:002009-09-26T04:53:47.239-07:00good beer is good in all vocational state

The poor heathens (shakes her head)- must be public school graduates. For what it's worth, I could have sworn you were writing about the various states of life: priesthood, religious life, marriage. Poor, misguided me. Old fool!<br /><br />I digress.<br /><br />Carry on, good Sister!Sister Mary Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033012870193990053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-79462991571577990502009-09-25T16:21:45.427-07:002009-09-25T16:21:45.427-07:00Nah!

Almost every day, one of my co-workers, students, or neighbors accuses me of being... YOU! We have way too much in common. (So for all the folks out there who think Sister Mary Martha can't possibly be a real Sister - guess again!)<br />I've lived in Southern Ca, my community's diocese is Peoria, I'm a huge basketball fan, our cat looks like your Teddy (RIP) except she's female (oh, the redundancy!) and I put down a cat last January, right around the time you announced Teddy's passing. My father was sick when your mother was sick. A sister was visiting us right around the time of your last stint with Sr. Nicholas. I am a teacher, and (honest to Pete) last week I attended an out-of-state conference with one of our sisters. While there, we met up with one of my 3rd order friends who happens to be a rocket scientist. One of our favorite expressions, of course, is "It's not rocket science!" You seem to use every other expression I am fond of using, and right around the same time someone overhears me using it! <br />To make a long story short, everyone in my neck of the woods thinks you are an actual Sister - except me. There's just no way there can be TWO of us!<br /><br />Prayers to all,<br />The Real (or, at least, 'the other') Sister MMSister Mary Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033012870193990053noreply@blogger.com
