Thoughts about our current existence

A very appropriate one for this forum - delivered. As we no longer stamp our "livery" in wax on envelopes, it is technically impossible to have anything delivered these days.

The postman came today and put the package in my hands sounds a little off.

 

Re-tired - means tired again.

Of course I'm only guessing, I'm still working and getting tired the first time.

Exactly. It shouldn't add tiredness in any way.

 

This one is interesting, because both words are still used in modern English. Limousine car services are legally referred to in many US states as Livery services. Both words share the same Latin and Norman roots, though the meanings have separated so much that they are no longer apparent antonyms.

It's the Thomson tartan, my mothers maiden name (dont worry - I never use that as a security question!)

Very cool!

 

Yes, no, maybe.

Nothing has meaning anymore. I love the post-truth era!

Firefighters fight fire. Freedom fighters fight ?

 

Each other, in actual practice.

 

Vegetarians eat vegetables. What do humanitarians eat?

 

Or to put it another way, why aren't cannibals called humanitarians? LOL

 

... and librarians eat...what?

 

• Avocado oil.
• Corn oil.
• Mustard oil.
• Palm oil.
• Peanut oil
• Rice bran oil.
• Safflower oil.
• Baby oil?

 

The problem is finding enough free-range non-GMO gluten-free babies to make the oil from (from which to make the oil ).

 

Prizefighters?

I am lost now.
