In my lawyer world, "order" is something you are commanded to do by a Judge. It's non-negotiable once it's an order. However, most of my client's have their own definition of "order" and I think it's "suggestion". Doesn't go over well, for sure!

In the world of logic, I never quite understood the difference between "necessary" and "sufficient" - whatever it was, I always had it mixed up.

Sufficient is "enough of" something. :)

Necessary would be something that is "needed".
Sufficient is "enough of" something. :)

I am ambidextrous! I write with my right hand, throw a ball with my left hand, bat a ball with my right hand, bowl with my left hand, wear my purse on my left shoulder, always put my right shoe on first, wave with my left hand, stir with my right hand. Is that ambidextrous enough??????? Edie :roll:

I had to think back 44 years -- I spanked with my right hand, cuz my left hand was stronger to hold the little squirmer down. I was so fortunate that he was mostly good because it took all I had to just give him a pat on the butt! The trying to get the point across was always less than getting to the part to get the point across!!!!! Got that? Good! Edie
