Decorative Words
This is (to me) a strange idea - decorative words. I noticed them in Hobby Lobby the other day - you can buy them to put on your wall or mantelpiece. They're very popular here. Words like 'love', 'dreams', 'family', 'faith', 'sickly' (OK, I made the last one up). When I first saw them, I had an enormous and sudden desire to commission some which would suit my British sense of irony - 'doubt', 'annoyance', 'depression', 'cynicism'.
But perhaps after the momentous events of yesterday, such sentiments are misplaced.

Andrew, you are a bad boy! Just think how it would feel to be in a living room where the words "sickly annoyance" leered down at you from the mantle. Would make you wonder what your friends thought of you, wouldn't it? LOL Raquel
PS -the word verification I got for this message was reers - now that would be a word group to put on your wall!
Don't tempt me...
