Do you feel the same way about the word "nice"? My English teachers at school taught me to seek alternatives to the endless use of "nice" to describe everything. I'm so grateful to those forward-thinking women who taught me, by the use of word choices, that life can be a range of other adjectives … Continue reading About The Word Nice

Why Has WordPress Withdrawn Support?
The WordPress Daily Prompt has disappeared and some of us are mystified.
