Keep up both! I've learn so much already 'san serif', who knew? I got out of the habit of posting on my blog and look forward to doing it again soon. Thanks for writing. I know I'll be back here soon, I didn't have time to get past Happy New Year.Gratefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005672023128411018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19904553.post-1138380055534468832006-01-27T10:40:00.000-06:002006-01-27T10:40:00.000-06:00Mary Christine said...

The words sin and san roughly mean 'without' in many languages. I first encountered san when referring to the font San Serif, without <A HREF="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/s/serif.html" REL="nofollow" TITLE="Serif definition">serifs</A>, a small decorative line added as embellishment to the basic form of a character.<BR/><BR/> Spanish sculptors who made mistakes while carving marble often patched their flaws with cera, wax. A statue that had no flaws and required no patching wax was considered a sculpture sin cera, without wax, something honest or true.<BR/><BR/> I want to write more about the title SincerelySober, the signature Without Wax, and my anonymous nature, but in a later post. I want more people to try to discover their origins.<BR/><BR/>Without Wax,sincerelysoberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02343398907571560430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19904553.post-1138377406922751592006-01-27T09:56:00.000-06:002006-01-27T09:56:00.000-06:00Fenris_Ulf,Yes, the title was an intended play on ...Fenris_Ulf,<BR/>Yes, the title was an intended play on words to grab the concerned attention.

It's tough, but it can be done. As I'm sure you've heard, you have to want to quit. And sometimes quitting for someone else works also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19904553.post-1138236332634374112006-01-25T18:45:00.000-06:002006-01-25T18:45:00.000-06:00Welcome to the wonderful world of Bloggers in Rec...Welcome to the wonderful world of Bloggers in Recovery.
