Word of the Day - Use it in a sentence
Here's a new amusement to lighten your day and make you sound even smarter than you already are!
I will post a word of the day. You are challenged to use it in a sentence. If you can manage to use it in a quilting related sentence - you will win the admiration of all on the board. Today's word of the day is Remora (REM-er-uh) 1. An obstacle, hindrance, or obstruction. 2. Any of several fishes of the family Echeneididae, having on the top of the head a sucking disk by which they can attach themselves to sharks, turtles, ships, and other moving objects. I'll go first. My quilt top keeps slipping and I can't find my clamps, but the remora is really helping out. Next ... |
It would be so helpful if I had and Echeneididae to keep my fabric from slipping..Diana

The Echeneididae fish family is also called a 'Pilot Fish', I'm sure the Remora of this story are the quilters who keep trying to catch one to keep their fabrics from slipping...
:cool: |
Great idea Kristyna! I would have used remora so badly, as I guessed definition #1. My remora today was my computer today, as it piloted me over 6 hours to learn to post a picture. Obviously, I still don't have it down right, but I was successful. Now to have some remora for supper. Isn't fish good for the brain? lol m

I will train a remora to hang on to my money, I will keep it in my pocket, then maybe I can keep more of my money for stash!!!!!
|
I cannot wait until my children make enough money that they don't have to behave as though I were a shark and they were remora....(and those of you who know me, know that is even a play on words with my last name HA!!)

Many times at the sewing machine I use my knees as a remora to prevent the quilt sandwich from slipping down to the floor. |
