Maybe Palm Springs. <br /><br />@Nick - Heh. This player was on the team last year when they won. :)<br /><br />@Sixty *hug* Yes, tennis too. Although he is wayyyy better than me and I've already had a meltdown on the court w/him. We've agreed that he probably shouldn't coach me. lolDarcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642443487136176511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-61514644627684887772016-11-18T11:27:29.120-05:002016-11-18T11:27:29.120-05:00Oh, you all are just wonderful.

It is remarkable to me how often what sticks with me and inspires me are the moments in my life when I learned and had to extend grace. The hard kind - because that's what it is all about.

I looked u...Now I'm well and truly confused. <br /><br />I looked up obtuse and what popped up first? <i>annoyingly insensitive and slow to understand. </i><br /><br />That can't be it. What's next? <i>Lacking perception or intellect</i> <br />Maybe for some, I mused, but that certainly doesn't apply to the author of the thread, the majority of commenters posting or the material presented.<br /><br />Pressing in I find: <i> not sharp, acute, or pointed; blunt in form. </i> Nope, that's getting colder not warmer. Word Etymology was next:<br /><i>Obtuse early 15c., "dull, blunted," from Middle French obtus (fem. obtuse), from Latin obtusus "blunted, dull," also used figuratively, past participle of obtundere "to beat against, make dull," from ob "against" (see ob-) + tundere "to beat," from PIE *(s)tud-e- "to beat, strike, push, thrust," from root *(s)teu- "to push, stick, knock, beat" (source also of Latin tudes "hammer," Sanskrit tudati "he thrusts"). Sense of "stupid" is first found c. 1500.</i><br /><br />Fun but not helpful. Merriam Webster however, saved the day, or sort of saved the day and then fudged it up again with <i> difficult to comprehend : not clear or precise in thought or expression </i><br /><br />Since I wouldn't go so far as to say chickelit's not been clear or precise in the thoughts presented, I'll have to settle for <i>difficult to comprehend</i> as the explanation for why someone would find this post and thread obtuse. <br /><br />And if Nd decides to come back in the hope of receiving something like a glimmer of light, or a sharper angle from which to approach this matter, he can hie over to the Pepsi thread for a clue to the riddle. <br /><br /><br /><br />MamaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300520132972757396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-30340545336683445252016-11-16T21:16:20.566-05:002016-11-16T21:16:20.566-05:00Not my sketches
