In Google Groups (and probably in your email) this message looks as though it was sent by Dodi. It was not! I sent it...and have no idea how her name became attached as "sender"!

But with Judy's address. That is really, really weird. As I commented
yesterday to another player when it never sent me a copy of the results of
the last round: GoogleGroups is apparently off its meds again!

Judy - It looks OK to me, and I'm oneof those weird players who uses
GoogeGroups. Only slight odd thing was that when I started this reply there
was a default cc: to Dodi (which I deselected) and it was to her Verizon
address which she hasn't used for a while.

Oops. Obviously Google remembers addresses better than I do.

Hi Dodi,

The list is as diverse as I expected, and I believe almost all of the
definitions. Really a great word!

My choices: 4 and 10.

I think Dodi's comment that google groups is "off its meds" is the correct
answer. When vieewd online in Gmail that post is "from " Dodi but with
Jud'y photo ID - no matter what the cc's etc software should not have made
that kind of mistake - in another environment that could be grounds for a
legal case

I'll guess at numbers 8 and 18.




8. A room where visitors may hang their outdoor clothing; cloakroom.

18. The fee paid to a funeral home for burial. From "Obol" an ancient coin
placed on, or in the mouth of the deceased to pay the mythological
ferryman to the land of the dead.

For lack of a better idea I'll pick first and last: 1 and 18.
