Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
EDIT: Above, in my comment, I actually typed & with amp (no spaces) and it dropped the amp. So let’s see if my lone ampersand symbol gets ‘amp’ after it. Funky!
2nd EDIT: Nope, just getting &.
&
It isn’t intended to show up but sometimes it does which I assume is a coding issue. (Does that sound like I actually know what I’m talking about? - I don’t, I read it on a geek chat!)

All of these movie titles (and more) use the ampersand (&) instead of
the actual word "AND".
It would be unconsciously understood.
The ampersand, also known as the "and sign", is the logogram &, representing the conjunction "and". It originated as a ligature of the letters of the word et (Latin for "and").[1]
Why is it called ampersand?
Ampersand, term used to refer to the symbol &, which stems from the ligature of the Latin word et, meaning “and.” The term ampersand is derived from “and per se and.” The symbol has also been used as part of &c in lieu of etc. (et cetera).Oct 28, 2024
You & Me against the world.
et al = and all of us against the world.
I so very much agree with Cwillie, and she is not such an old lady!
When she wrote:
"if you want to be understood then write properly".
it says "&".
I got the "&" meaning and. But the "amp"? What the heck are they talking? And it is very very common on AC right now. Which kind of makes me question what's up.
(old woman shaking her fist at the sky) lol
I am seeing this all the time in post questions now.
Who has the skivvy for me?
It sounds like time to curl up in your favorite spot and watch Hallmark with a bowl of popcorn.
I hope you are well supplied
I heard out towards Buffalo it's going to snow till tomorrow
Cwillie, I think that is about 2 feet?
Nacy, how much snow you usually get up (and over) there? And when it falls, does it stick around for weeks and cause havoc? I don’t miss the snow at our old place except seeing the morning sun on it before anyone had driven down the hill. And I loved studying individual snowflakes on the windows; such magical things. That doesn’t happen here.
Doggiemom, I can count on 1 hand the number of times a vacation has been absolutely perfect and my heart was in a place to receive it as such. Your Thanksgiving sounds like one of those times. I hope the Ohio trip is the same.
Doggiemom, that sounds like a very nice Thanksgiving. Glad the pups did well! Boyfriend 💓 💓 I'm so happy for you.
Anna, a post office strike? That must be making annoying?
I'm going to Ohio at the end of December to visit with my boyfriend. I have never been to Ohio so should be interesting.
