Does anyone know what is going on with the TTLB ecosystem?
Everything seems frozen as of the first of the year.
Are there plans to bring it back, or should I just deep six it?

Howz ’bout niggardly?
See dictionary reference … more folks should since they tend to get their undies in a twist from a mistaken association with that oh so non-PC neo-unmentionable word.

“Analgesic” and “Cumin” don’t sound dirty, they only look dirty.
And niggardly doesn’t sound dirty, it sounds offensive.
