Comments on: If only vocabulary could feed the world… http://cerebralmum.com/2007/10/vocabulary-rice/ The only things I care about are things which use my brain... so there is an intellectual solitude which is like the solitude of the desert—dangerous to one's sanity. {Clelia Mosher} Sat, 24 Jul 2010 11:11:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Rosemary Nissen-Wade http://cerebralmum.com/2007/10/vocabulary-rice/comment-page-1/#comment-124 Rosemary Nissen-Wade Thu, 18 Oct 2007 14:58:13 +0000 http://cerebralmum.com/?p=94#comment-124 :-r :-r

So addictive! I've been going up and down between 49 and 41 and now I've run out of time. You think you're feeding the world, and then you realise it's only a grain at a time.
