Always looking for solutions, my favourite solvent right now is ethanol, despite its mind-altering effects and other health hazards. WUI, specifically of the C 2 H 5 OH in the very nice red South African Drostdy-Hof. (For those of you who are new to it: Writing Under the Influence) To mangle a slog...

Re: One of my favorite new idioms is CC : Carbon Copy!
I'm just about old enough to remember what carbon copy is. Why are we still using this? PS I'm good at questions, not so good at writing up answers. "Why is there air?" -Bill Cosby Are man-made diamonds merely carbon copies of real diamonds? I vaguely remember once seeing "CC" d...
