Jess was looking at this one and commenting on how much we look alike. Look...we have the same lips and smiling eyes. The teeth are a little off though.
Postaprephobia is when you have a really cute post, usually including a picture, which aprehends you from writing new posts, for fear of pulling up your blog and not seeing the really cute post at the top.
Oh! Dare I correct THE Wordmeister herself? I go out on a limb....
ap·pre·hend v. ap·pre·hend·ed, ap·pre·hend·ing, ap·pre·hends v. tr.
1. To take into custody; arrest: apprehended the murderer. 2. To grasp mentally; understand: a candidate who apprehends the significance of geopolitical issues. 3. To become conscious of, as through the emotions or senses; perceive.
I think the more correct word would be "prevents", "deters", "discourages", "foils", "hampers", "hinders", "inhibits", "obstructs", "obviate", "precludes", "prohitbits", "restrains", "stifles", "Shirks", "Stymies" Or "Thwarts".
you never should have dared at your so called "correcting" me.
ap·pre·hen·sive adj. Anxious or fearful about the future; uneasy. See Synonyms at afraid.
And as far as my usage of the word apprehend (i do admit i misspelled it) I was using it in the context that it was thwarting/arresting/preventing/alltheotherwordsyoulisted her from posting.
So tell me again, how was I incorrect? Maybe I am just missing something. I wouldn't put it past myself, I am very busy today. :)
Funny. I was just talking to Mom last night and she asked if I had read her comment. She was worried that she shouldnt have corrected you Nina for fear of retaliation.

I think Maddie will be the inspiration for my Jack-o-lantern this year. I wonder how to make a dimple?
