It might be that one needs to eat more fresh greens and/or have more best quality olive oil in our diet to keep those strings singing at maximum levels and our health in best shape too. ha ljt On Aug 26, 11:42 pm, ljt <[email protected]> wrote: > Got the dictionary out...I sees what you is getting at.... > linda > > On Aug 26, 2:16 pm, mistertaterbug <[email protected]> wrote: > > > No, that's "spooge".
