I looked up 'monday' in the dictionary and it just says 'the first day of the week'...... Anyone know how the days of the week got their name? Who named them? and what do they mean?

I suppose if you happen to reply questions every day, and folks can admire your questions and solutions as "oh, that is _____, I guess it's going to be a well query." That's what makes a consistent to me. You would reply hundreds of questions within the puppy segment day-to-day, with the dumbest solutions ever, and I might now not take into account you a consistent. EDIT: Future Klee Kai proprietor, I suppose the equal method. I come right here every day and but I nonetheless suppose I am so much to ignorant to name myself a consistent. I suppose the one ones calling themselves regulars in self safety are those that are meant to commonly asking questions and studying solutions greater than typing up their possess dull ones.
