And I loathe tuna salad--it is the mayonaisse thing.<BR/><BR/>Class is going very well although I would like to be much further ahead in my preparation for the whole semester. I manage to stay about one lecture ahead and the gap is quickly closing.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://tonyarnold.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Tony</A>Tony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259631.post-1158600285452102572006-09-18T12:24:00.000-05:002006-09-18T12:24:00.000-05:00Don't lie, Tony.

Imagine a cat having breath that smells like cheese so that he can catch a mouse. That's probably why I thought it was "baited."JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163521274652768781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259631.post-1158597206872683852006-09-18T11:33:00.000-05:002006-09-18T11:33:00.000-05:00I hate to correc the college English instructor, b...I hate to correc the college English instructor, but that would be bated breath.<BR/><BR/>Bate: to abate, lessen, lower, etc. To deprive.
