Benison???

This is from dictionary.com the word of the day

benison

\BEN-uh-suhn; -zuhn\ , noun;
1.
Blessing; benediction.
Quotes:
In the beginning, Gibran's small estate was worth some $50,000, benison enough for a village of ten thousand souls.
-- Stefan Kanfer, "But is it not strange that elephants will yield -- and that The Prophet is still popular?",New York Times, June 25, 1972
Yet to be with him was a benison, a curiously exhilarating and anarchic experience, as the lightning celerity of his thought processes took you on a kind of helter-skelter ride of surreal non-sequiturs, sudden accesses of emotion and ribald asides, made all the more bizarre for being uttered in those honeyed tones by the impeccably elegant gent before you.
-- Simon Callow, "A life full of frolics", The Guardian, May 19, 2001
Origin:
Benison comes from Old French beneison, from Latin benedictio, from benedicere, "to bless," from bene, "well" + dicere, "to say."
Wait, I have more!!!
So a friend sent me this email about this... Well read it! HAHAHA

I knew a person that was so
stupid that.......

she called me to get my phone number.

She spent
20 minutes looking at the orange juice box because it said 'concentrate.'

she tried to put M&M's in alphabetical order..

she sent me a fax with a stamp on it.


she tried to drown a fish.

she thought a quarterback was a refund....

she got locked in a grocery store and starved to death...

she tripped over a cordless phone.

she took a ruler to bed to see how long she slept.


she asked for a price check at the Dollar Store.

she studied for a blood test..

she thought Meow Mix was a CD for cats...

when she heard that 90% of all crimes occur around the home, she moved.

when she missed the 44 bus, she took the 22 bus twice instead..

when she took you to the airport and saw a sign that said 'Airport Left' she turned around and went home

Inside Look on My Life

I'm not a particularly organized person, but my house is clean. I'm severeley allergic to dust, which has become a problem. I'm also allergic to shrimp and lobsters. Isn't that sad? And here I go, rambling on about my problems. I'm a manga and anime addict, I learn 4 languages, including English, which are Japanese, Latin, Chinese, and English (Rosetta Stone really does work well). I love all needle crafts, and art too. I spent the time before school on manga, at MangaFox. I live really close to a park, and I go there to read sometimes, and to do stuff. I like hiking. I guess I don't have many problems in life. I guess...

Turkeyful Thanksgiving: Origami Turkey

I'm going to someone else's house for thanksgiving, but you can use these cute and festive turkeys to decorate your table for guests. I got a lot of results when I searched for an origami turkey but I picked one I particularly thought looked like a turkey. It is by Anita Barbour, and she has made many origami how-tos. Find more of her origami instructions at http://spiraclemusic.com/ and press Press Here for Anita Barbour's Origami, then press Links to AFB Diagrams. There are four pages for the turkey, and it's kinda hard so you might have to persevere. I'm not going to post the instructions here, so you have to go to it yourself.
That's all for today! (I think)
