Huh.... Well, you used it on yourself!

So an "abject lesson" is "expressing or offered in a humble and often ingratiating spirit "?

A lesson we wish we haven't learned? I had kindof thought an abject lesson might be a "good example of" something.

Word for the Day in the Hobbit Hole!

No, that's an "object lesson", different thing entirely!

Good morning everyone! Got one computer set up and working, today's my day to clean up my computer desk so we can get the other one set up! Luckily I can clean and watch football at the same time...

Hope everyone has a good day!

Steve just got in...spoke with our Sunday school teacher and said he wanted him to tell the guy to stay away from me at all costs.
