A new game, because we don't have enough yet! Animated Wink Smilie

Ok folks, this is how it works: I post a dictionary definition of a word, you give me the word. If you get it right, you win one of my fantastic home made superspecial precious Woolly Gems, only to be earned here!

So here we go, first definition:

"Someone who is in charge of feeding, cleaning, and taking care of horses."

And my first Woolly Gem goes to... Nessa_narmolanya! Groom was the word I'm looking for.

OK...eternity is the more accurate word/phrasing i have to concede that master Grondsta, but technically "infinity" counts for both Space(distance as you say) & Time, equally.

now to the next question. Maybe i'll get tht one right? Tongue Smilie
