  5. Yes, Lisa Marie, I always wondered why they call it a flea market!
    Thanks Sarah.
    No worries, Kitty, I had to look it up to be sure I wasn't using it inappropriately.

  13. Abstract art? Are you implying that if it's abstract it ain't art? Certainly it can be and has been a convenient vehicle for charlatans, but what about Kandinsky? Or Mondrian? Or Jackson Pollock?

    This phrase is well overdone: "global village".
