trivet:
I think cancel meant "work in a postal office", as you can see here.

Phalanx. I either need to find a closely ranked group of people, or I should stare at one of my fingers.

You see? It works perfectly.

Hmmmm...Quebracho. And, because I always have to double-check the magic 8-ball, cancel.

Guess I'm back to square one.

Hmmm, chopsaw.
Can you help me understand the sibylline message?

OK, next step:
Today, I went to NYU to talk to a possible future PhD. advisor.

Okay, okay, I admit it--it's how I chose my present job. Also my car. And my house.

Oh, and next year, if Wordie tells me so, I'll move to Banffshire, Scotland to become the prothonotary of Fattiehead. Or I might move to the Indian subcontinent and become an old creole bon vivant.

If Wordie tells me so.

What about the big decisions, rt? I have tossed coins over life-changing things before, but next time I might just hit up Wordie.

Yes, I use it to determine what I'm wearing to work and how I'll have my toast in the morning. Works like a charm.

Wordie has immense potential as an oracle or other diving tool. Who has not been tempted to use the random word feature stichomantically?

3 months ago reesetee said:

Spooky! But you know, now that I think about it, that does seem to happen a lot on this site....

Creepy... I found this word now by clicking on "random", but I've been talking about Iroquois all day today... It must be a new Wordie feature, "word you're thinking right now".
