Oh my goodness! Greenheron you win the prize for most adventurous use of all of them ... and SouthPStitches ... well, what can I say?

I'm coming down with something that might cause blebs ... so here is tomorrow's word of the day

[h=3]sybarite, noun - A person devoted to luxury and pleasure

I really should shop for fabric at Walmart, but I am a sybarite, so I shop that the Metropolitan Museum of Art for fine tapestries to slice into bits for my dog's Dresden quilt[/h]

If I weren't such a sybarite I'd have the mettle to get off this web and get some quilting done.

Sybarite that I am, this evening was spent lasciviously lolling and rolling about on mountains of glorious 100% cotton LQS quality designer fabrics in multiple colorways with good hand, fast dyes and fine, close weave; gently pre-washed and ironed by leonine laundry men, absolutely bleb-free. Ubiquitous threads floated in a slimsy cloud through the starch-perfumed air. No remora of regret would enter, barred forever by their manly mettle.

Greenheron, I think you should have the mettle to write romance novels. Love the sybarite lounging image!
