I've screwed the Student Loans Company over, and I'm fairly sure they're going to find me out any minute now, and then my life won't be worth LIVING. If I die, you can all come to my house and divvy my stuff up. All the nice ones of you, anyway. I'm allowed to mail again because my last mail was entirely factual and unopinionated. Oh yes. On the subject of the definition of the word "Fey", a potplant sent me the following: ############################################################ I'm still in the nursery, but I'd like to give another side to the "fey" word. Maybe you could pass it along...? I know that in the 1800s (and probably long before that), the Chinese used the words "fan wey" to describe the English. Yes, it was a derogatory term. The Chinese did not think highly of the "whites" back then. Maybe this has no relevance at all... My 2 cents, Colleen (new listee from Huntington Beach, Calif.) ########################################################### I was expecting to have something to say after all this to justify it, but my spirit is gone, and I don't mean vodka. I'm a mess. *shakes head* Wish me luck, folks.
