Those are often the best ideas and they're always the ones that make me say, "Why didn't I think of that?" It is helpful, isn’t it?

LJ you gave me the biggest smile when you mentioned The Cat Came Back. I had to look that up on YouTube both times because I've never heard it before. It's pretty catchy, that tune, and just prime for an earworm, isn't it? After reading the lyrics I have to say that cat is like my father. The punk.

It has panache. Ooh, I wonder if that word requires an accent mark or a tilde above one of the vowels. It is more exciting than the dash. It has panache.

My land line phone and it doesn't have any characters. And then I realized how out of touch I am. You must be talking about a cell phone/blackberry that has a keyboard for texting. I'm so 1980. I am seriously afraid of the day that I can't understand their homework. Although my oldest kid is in fourth grade so I know the day is fast approaching.

I loved it~!~ You're my muse, Liz. <img alt="" src="http://assets1.snsassets.com/images/books/9780689714092.jpg" title="theres a monster under my bed" class="alignright" width="201" height="250" /> I'm with you. I used the alt key and the ctrl key but couldn't get it. Not like I need to use this accent mark. I do not have the monster book, but I think I'll have to pick it up at the library. I hadn't considered using that method for proofreading; I can see how that would be very helpful. Amended: I have submitted a hold for "There's a Monster Under my Bed" at the library and I look forward to seeing what this breathing creature under the bed is. My guess: a cat. I did like it. I loved it~!~ You’re my muse, Liz.

Way to go! And I absolutely love the pronunciation of learnèd and agèd. But I also wonder how you invoke the key to get it to appear directly above the e. Obviously when I use the shift key I get the tilde. I did try the control key and the alt key but they're having none of it. Oh, as you might have guessed I copied and pasted from your comment. Anyway, excellent work! Once again Buf, you slam through home plate and win the game for the team! Way to go!

But back to its usage. It's total angst or frustration, however it can also be used in a happy sense to express huge joy. It's one of those things that goes case by case but mostly expresses huge emotion. Good or bad.
