LOL, xx comes from Arpanet where I was a military systems sysop. Us bor watchstanders would chat world-wide. We only had a 60 character chat li so to save space, tradition was to us your initials. Problem, Charlie Parker had mine (before I got married). So used xx for female chromosom Funny is happened to a guy so he got called xy (male chromosomes).
That was one of my guesses! That it stood for XX chromosomes. I had no ide about the history. Wow, a 60 character chat line. That's 100 characters shorter than the old SMS message size limit. Hardcore!
Today, it mostly separates me from all the other 'carol's' out there. Sorry it's so mundane (grin)
It's Xtra Xtra down to earth. :-)
Yeah, funny but life works out so as you gain stories, you always have something interesting or quirky. Lord knows I'm quirky and happy to be so!
Meantime, dinner chopped up and fast cooking so waiting on Don to come home in about 30 minutes.
7 cloves garlic, sliced small
7oz Keilbasa sliced about 1/3 inch thick
2 stalks mature bok choy, sliced about 1/3 inch thick
Olive oil, pribably 2 TB
sliced Cremeni mushrooms, probably add 4 oz but haven't yet
Leftover savory macaroni salad with sticks of fake lobster as a garnish.
I need to upload the picture of last night's dinner for the mac salad but maybe I;ll just snap one of tonights!
