NANDERING ?????? This word, unfortunately in my vocabulary, was used in a question (or answer) I posted in this Format. At least one person, perhaps more, has been unable to find it in his/her dictionary, and has asked me to explain.
If anybody remembers Dick Nixon's shamed 1st VPres, Spiro Agnew (manipulated finances while Gov. of Maryland)..... anyway he referred to 'nattering nabob's of negatism'. Can't imagine he was referring to Dems.
Now, I'm embarrassed to say that I can't remember in what context I was trying to use it, and I don't want to be reminded.(even nattering is not in my dict'y, much less nandering)
So, anybody who wishes to totally 'derobe the (?King?) have at it.
The word again is 'nattering':(Agnew) and if you could somehow throw in a definition for the bogus 'nandering', (mine) it would be so much appreciated.

It's drug-free week (or something) at our school and we need a good slogan. The best I can think of is "hugs not drugs." Do you guys have anything better or is "hugs not drugs" the best? Thanks!

Both words are quite long, the second one is something like 'bicentarian'. They are used when applying to scholarships, for instance -- to point out how intelligent you were in school :))

I did 2 terrible terms of college at our community college and I did very badly in high school.
I recently moved out on my own and realize that I am never going to get anywhere in the future if I don't focus on my present.
That is why I want to go back to school. I want to fix things at the community college and finish what I started. I even want to go onto university!
I have big plans, I just wish I knew I could do it with the track record I've had. Any suggesstions, words of encouragement? Any help is appreciated!
