Well, I've been waiting for Dorothy to get on, thinking maybe she'd want to post the answer.

I'm waiting for Ruthy-Too. Where is she?

[Lily Rose]

Fiddle-dee-dee...well, if Ruthy-Too isn't going to make an appearance, I shall have to cave under the general pressure and give the answer.

[Lily Rose]

So the answer is Noah Webster. (😛That's for you, Meg)

"He probably had obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, often mentioning in his diary his ‘depression,’ ‘anxiety’ and ‘nervous affectations.’ He wrote his famous Blue-Backed Speller and later his dictionaries as a form of therapy."

I can see can see how that could be very therapeutic!

[Allyson]

All, the same, though, I usually just read, crochet, or play piano.😂 I don't think the first thing to come to mind when I need comfort would be to write a dictionary!😂😂

Well, what's a man supposed to do when he's been dumped by the woman he intended to marry?! Write a speller!

Oh, I'm so sorry dear Pammy!! I meant you all got it wrong with what you drown your sorrow in! Yes, Meg got the quiz question right!

And so what do you do? 😂

[Pamela]

So, what is the right way to deal with the sorrow of lost love? I have always turned my affection to my cats! That works, plus they always love you, no matter what. 🐱🐈🐎🐕🐶💔💘💖😍

Well, while I've been sick and at the depths of dispair, (not literally, I just like to be dramatic) one of the only things that's made me feel better is reading Elizabeth Goudge. 😂

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE!!! 😂 Seriously though, he has drastically changed my life!

[Joanna]

Dogs and cats are a great comfort too. 💓

THAT'S HOW ELIZABETH GOUDGE IS!!
I would love to hear how he's changed your life, but that's for another day, meanwhile, Zamba is calling me... 😴🛌🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Hahaha!! You don't want to get me started on that! 😂 I don't even know if I could put it into words anyway, but it's true!
Ok, good night, or shall I say good Zamba? 🤣 I'm headed that way soon too.

Pammy J..."

We used to have several horses. The last one died about 20 years ago...that's when pets break your heart, when you lose them. We had all sorts of animals...sheep, chickens, ducks, doves, fancy pheasants, fish, mice, hamsters, Guinea pigs, cats and dogs. Never goats, but I've always wanted them. We even had 2 pet skunks! Their mother was killed by a car and our vet asked if we would raise them. He de-scented them and we kept them in the house! They were litter trained and even wore collars and were leash trained...we took them for walks every night! Their names were Jack & Jill!

*I forgot our bunnies. We had many! Also litter trained and house pets!

[Pamela]

I'm going to say goodnight. It was another HOT day here and I am tired.😴
Pammy Jo

[Joanna]

You need some Maine in your life, Pammy Jo! 😂 It's been in the low 60s the last couple days. 41 this morning. If it hadn't been so windy Wednesday night we would have gotten a freeze!

[Joanna]

The question of the day...
Which NEL author coined the word Anesthesia?

[Pamela]

Meg wrote: "The question of the day...

I know the answer, but will wait for others to try. My interest in reading about Civil War medical issues is why I know. That's the sort of strange trivia that has stuck in my brain over the years! Current important info slips right through! LOL!!!🤣🤪🤯🧐

So cool, Pammy Jo!! My family used to have a pet skunk before I was born!😄

[Lily Rose]

Meg wrote: "The question of the day...

Louisa May Alcott?

[Lily Rose]

Noah Webster!

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Oh dear... She's got a new author... 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

[Lily Rose]

Emma wrote: "Oh dear... She's got a new author... 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️"

I'm mostly testing Meg's reactions. I thought possibly she was tricking me by using the author I just used, but her reaction told me I'm still incorrect. Hawthorne?

[Allyson]

I was just about to give a funny answer when I realized you said Anesthesia, not amnesia!😂😂

Don't feel bad, Allyson. At first glance VERY early this morning I thought it said "Anastasia" and for a brief moment I wondered how we had moved from New England to Russia! LOL!!!🤣😄😆😜 Not to treat Anastasia lightly. It was horrible what happened to her and her family.
