I think Mark said something about chasing after one of the bunch in search of some potassium, but he's been around.

Yes, she does. And I have her Dad who also has 1 blue eye. I have a three year old that has a blue left eye.

My mother has often used this word throughout my life. While always understanding what it meant, I thought it rather old fashioned.
