Latin carus (dear) is cognate with Swedish kär (dear). It is however also cognate with whore, hora and German Hure. The original meaning of the word "whore" is "dear". It wasn't before the pest of Christianity that a whore became something "bad" among Germanic peoples.

Miss Kitty's problem with her sneaky husband (ex to be) reminded me of this tip that we used when I worked (pre-computer, of course).

When checking something, don't read it forward, read it backwards.  It makes you focus more and errors show up.  Same thing when comparing numbers, read one of them backwards.

It's a great proofreading tip.  You don't read the letters backwards, you read the sentences beginning to end but out of sequence.  Last sentence first, second to last sentence second, etc...

Charlotte's Web is a great learning tool for children. Like Dr Seuss White did not believe that long words were too much for children to understand, he did not talk down to his target audience. White was a private man who would leave via the fire escape if an interviewer was laying in wait for him. I have always inferred that he must have been a wonderful human being to have written such a great book. White died from Alzheimer's Disease on October 1st 1985.  RIP Mr White.

When you finally get that quiet resolution and confidence in your mind that you can do or change something, changing or doing is achievable.  I've reached that state and while I'm not perfect yet (maybe 8 out of 100), it's definitely easier to do several little things that bring me closer to my life-changing goal. Each day I at least keep the goal and the steps needed to get there in the front of my mind and do a little bit.
