We are thinking that we are at the end of this journey and perhaps it is time for others to take over the management of this blog. But perhaps it is time for this blog to retire — we simply are not sure. Now there is Facebook (which we are not using to its full potential), Google+ (which we are not using at all), and other new sites and technologies that we honestly do not have the energy to engage. If anyone is interested in leading this group, e-mail Sandy or Andrée at the address on the right. Bless all of you and your talents. We have come to know you personally even if we may not even type to you or you to us. We are friends on Facebook and G+ and don’t want to lose those friendships.

I began thinking about the various meanings of the word, so I went over to the <a href="http://etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=dash&searchmode=none">Online Etymology Dictionary</a> to track down its origins. I've included all I came across up to dashboard because I thought dashboard was interesting, if not relevant, and that's what happens when you open the dictionary.<br />

Inverted use for "to be pleased" is from c.1500, first in Scottish, and paralleling the evolution of synonymous <a class="crossreference" href="http://etymonline.com/index.php?term=like&allowed_in_frame=0" style="color: #800020; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">like</a> (v.). Intransitive sense (e.g. <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">do as you please</span>) first recorded c.1500; imperative use (e.g. <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">please do this</span>), first recorded 1620s, was probably a shortening of <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">if it please (you)</span> (late 14c.). Related:<a class="crossreference" href="http://etymonline.com/index.php?term=Pleased&allowed_in_frame=0" style="color: #800020; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Pleased</a>; <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">pleasing</span>; <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">pleasingly</span>.<br /><br />Verbs for "please" supply the stereotype polite word (e.g. "<span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">Please</span> come in," short for <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">may it please you to ...</span>) in many languages (French, Italian), "But more widespread is the use of the first singular of a verb for 'ask, request' " [Buck, who cites German <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">bitte</span>, Polish <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">proszę</span>, etc.]. Spanish <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">favor</span> is short for <span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">hace el favor</span> "do the favor." Danish has in this sense<span class="foreign" style="font-style: italic;">vær saa god</span>, literally "be so good."</dd>

I held her hands</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And led to the dark room</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Clandestine affair”, she commented</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Hold your breath”, I said</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I hugged her tight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pecked on her cheeks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her big eyes showed surprise</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I whispered, “Golden jubilee, it is!”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I slid a gold ring into her wrinkled fingers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her eyes shone with tears. She said,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I love you, for the fifty years and forever!”</div>
</div>
