Hey, Karen!   I like you too.  Your vocabulary is obviously way better than 
mine, because I thought acerbic meant, kind of witty, dry sense of humor, 
that kind of thing. (I took that post as a compliment). Well (hmmph)  imagine 
my chagrin (good word, eh?) when I actually looked the word up in the 
dictionary and I was definitely NOT being complimented. I found out that 
acerbic meant "acid in mood or tone".  WELL...I NEVER!!....(bluster, 
bluster).  We'd better ask Angie to make a rule about not using  words above 
the basic 7th grade level.  Well, maybe not, because my 7th grader can get in 
some real zingers (I have no idea where he gets that).
