We get JOS A. Bank and PELLE Pelle, I thought I knew clothes but this is another world, Urban Outfitters anyone? As far as 67A, hats off to the newlywed, give me a call in five years.

However, I've gotten so used to seeing EWER, it never throws me anymore. As a parent of a recalcitrant near-teen and a teen, the "toys" phrase has passed on, but the others are quite relevant. In fact, too relevant. ROWEL – another word for my NYT “what the heck is that?” list. However, I’ve gotten so used to seeing EWER, it never throws me anymore.

(wikipedia tells me it's the han, which doesn't even sound familiar. but i should probably know it.) i'm glad sam has not yet reached the "but why?" phase. and he actually seems to enjoy cleaning up, although you have to do it with him and pretend it's a big game. he's also a very enthusiastic, if not exactly efficacious, toothbrusher. he's not really at the homework stage yet, but i'll keep you posted.

Wikipedia says "The Yalu River (Manchu and Chinese) or the Amnok River (Korean) is a river on the border between China and North Korea."

There is only one Squib, the caretaker, Filch. No Muggles. davidH: as Jeffrey says, there are also witches (which is what I put in before I saw JAYZ and switched it to WIZARDS).
