I need it dumbed down too. WTH is humor phlegm? Are you saying you have a slow temperment, Jackie? grin
Keep it up, though. I am learning.
Since we are on the subject of words, who comes up with the words we have to submit below? LOL

For humor phlegm, I’m gonna go with “intrepid coolness.” Ha! I do have a vast collection of Peeps (and other odd things) on my desk that I think are pretty cool. Fodder for a future blog…

Or, maybe Jamie D.’s referring to the sinus infection I’ve had since my brother’s wedding that won’t go away no matter what I do!

Or, maybe she means that I always seem to be tired (which is true).

Or, maybe she means I’m pretty easygoing with the reporting staff for the most part (I think).

Whatever—it’s all good!

I feel ya’ on them sinus infections. I battle them all the time. Ask the doctor to prescribe levaquin. It works for me.

Actually, I got the basic synopsis of a phleghmatic personality from a website called Catholic Match. It seemed to suit Jackie very well. You can read it here:

The only part that does not seem to suit Jackie is the last part about Calvin Coolidge. That makes no sense whatsoever to me. It doesn’t even seem to fit the rest of the entry.

No wonder I didn’t know what it meant. It was mispelled...grin

And Jamie was writing about Jamie...duh!!!

It just lightning right out my window and the thunder made me jump. Whew!

I think I’ll start acting phlegmaticly and read my book.
Did I use that correctly? LOL

Phlegm...I was thinking of the sinus stuff too, for that word.
One more thing...singular..sp...really helped my sinuses.
