Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Cue, that's right! Guess that's where the word Bride came from, too. The tiered spires were created by Christopher Wren. smile12

manxman, it's so funny! lol12

Jarkeld, good guess, but not correct. Just in case, I'm going to double-check my source. smile12

Note: source checked and question fixed woozy12

Sorry Pandora that's all I got. I know that seawater is salty and my creaky old brain came up with sodium and the knowledge ends there.

Fil, you prove all the time that there's nothing wrong with your creaky old brain. What is salt made up of? smile12

You've got it, Jim. She has to dance in them until she dies. Gotta love those Grimm brothers. wink12

Looked it up...

4. From poker chips. Blue is traditionally the highest value chip above red and white. Originally blue chip referred to high valued stocks. Eventually that morphed into stable stocks.
