Agreeing and not not posting <5>

Thanks Tamaralynn! That's a full spa-treatment-get-ready-to-be-mother-of-the-bride-kit in my avatar. I don't like many pictures of me but I do like that one.

What are the 5's for?

I think someone is thinking of a game where all responses are only 5 words,

but it's not a game thread.

it's really become a random depository

Odds + ends + other ends.... and still it lives!

I have some odds and ends of yarn. I was thinking about making a granny square afghan. I did once before and it was great!

Wonder if the original phrase was odd ends? I mean, what is an odds? :D

Gambling? Odds are it's a corruption of some old saying.

Well, it wouldn't be "an" odds. Odds is plural, so it would be an odd. An odd is a single, leftover piece of something, like a scrap of fabric. Short for "oddment."

Gods, I'm smart when I have internet access!:dancer:

...and a little bit geeky/scary too.:hyper:

SusanB, since you are a moderator , why not show that under your name? I am sure there are some of us who would like to learn from your experience and wise counsel. if they know you are a mod..

My name is green. But I'm not sure I'm such a shining example. And I've not come up with some witty little ditty, like ... the yoyo mod er something.

i have an afghan my grandma made me out of odds and ends, since it was the 70s it's got some wild bright colors. I still cherish it.

SusanB , you have earned the right to be a moderator.

I always look forward to your posts.

About a dozen pages or so ago a 5 word response was what was being done here, but this thread has had an ever changing life all it's own!!!
