One more thing to add. Why be coy with using the word "tarry", why not just say "wait" for crying out loud? Who uses the word "tarry".

Who uses the word "tarry".

My dad does..but he's 90; he also says he's "replete" when he's had enough dinner.

He's using the word "tarry" because he's quoting a Bible verse in the New Testament. Don't have the exact reference, but Jesus said to the disciples that went into the Garden of Gethsemane with him, "Will you not tarry with me one hour?"

Because he/she is making a biblical reference.

And the purpose of the thread is to draw attention to the travesty currently taking place in FL, where the state-sanctioned murder of a disabled woman is scheduled to commence at 2 pm today. There are several ongoing threads on the Terri Schindler-Schiavo case in the side bar and available through FR search.

And if I were closer, I'd head there myself. But I'll be here praying. Thanks for the invitation, PrepareToLeave.
