Jocose is a word I rarely use. I wonder why not? I do appreciate humour.
National Daughter's Day? I didn't know there was such a thing.

I knew you could use wax paper to make a metal playground slide faster, but didn't know about the other uses.

Genial caballito. Te mando un beso.

I've heard the word jocose, but very rarely. It's not one I would really use.

D.L. Finn said...

Never heard of jocose. Learned something new. Also not tried wax paper except to get up candle wax spills. Xo

Jocose? I have no idea. My Funkin' Wagnalls tells me it means playful, jocular, witty and facetious. Sorry to the environment but wax paper doesn't cut it for me and I want chemicals, strong chemicals for cleaning.

I have a friend who is exceptionally jocose, always ready with a witty anecdote or two, perhaps unusual in a way because he is a serious scientist by profession.

Jeanie said...

I've never used waxed paper for that but I might have to try. I always have it at home.

Sandra Cox said...

I don't use it either, but I may have to start. My daughter pointed out that there was such a holiday:) LOL

Sandra Cox said...

I'd forgotten about slicking up the slides:)

Sandra Cox said...

Indeed:) Sending you hugs.

I'd probably use cheerful instead of jocose since I had never heard of jocose before. You taught me a new word. I've never heard of cleaning things with wax paper. A lot of the cleaning "hacks" I see online aren't very effective.

Love,
Janie

Sandra Cox said...

It's not used very often, is it?

Sandra Cox said...

Does it work pretty well for candle wax? xo

Sandra Cox said...

Yup that pretty much covers jocose. Heh on the chemicals.

Sandra Cox said...

Thumbs up on the sentence;)

Sandra Cox said...

Cheerful works. I hear ya on not very effective on the hacks.

Hi Sandra - I thought about guffaw with laughter instead ... but I guess 'neighing' might do! Lots of days to write up about ... many recently invented I suspect - cheers Hilary
