Jen, thank you sooooo belatedly. I fell out of this pocket for a long time!
I did meet Junie B. Jones last weekend. And I will never forget the B!
The precocious 5 year old girl who was reading the book looked puzzled when I said something about getting stickers in your feet if you walk barefoot in weeds. Then her face cleared, and she said, "Do you mean thorns?" To save face, I quickly invented a class of things that includes burrs, thorns, and other sharp plant material: stickers

Is it wrong that I feel discriminated against by this conversation?
At one point I had a "q" in a password, so my fingers don't look for the u.
Check out my "u-less q-words" list for a bunch more.
We're big fans of qaid for Scrabble. Can't wait until you're back in pocket slumry.
Thanks. I am going to be out of pocket for a few days and look forward to more fun next week.
Great list idea! May I suggest qintar and qigong?
Don't know about you, but I have a hard time typing a word that starts with "q" without having my finger immediately seek the "u" key next. :-)
