eveder..... my compute can't spell (just what you need when you're on a babble board, right?)... the word should've been CEREMONIES .. I was watching the arrival of Mr.Reagan's body, at the rotunda, when I had a brainstorm, and entered two more words..... and TTTERRR is a lovely word, if you add ES you'll have a 9-letter word - woohoo!!
