How raised is raised

I have worse luck with splitting hose than anything else. And I take Coumadin, so I avoid sharp things when I can.

Hmm...Google was no help with "doolal".

All I could find was "doolally" which seems to fit the context.

U.K. an offensive term meaning irrational ( informal )

Is that definition close?

From what I can gather from people who were in the British army. There is a place called Dolally, if you were sent to this camp nothing happened and you ended up going mad with sheer boredom. that is were th phrase came from. hope this helps you.

Having just arrived in this news group, although I follow several others on a regular basis; it is interesting to observe that many of them have their resident nitwit, idiot or ill mannered lout or louts. The above posting here, by someone called 'Val', seems to confirm the fact?

The use of language that calls a person a 'twit' or arrogant seems ill mannered and not supported by any facts?

I found the posting by David Ross somewhat factual towards answering the OPs question; also providing some other personal info/experience that was pertinent.

Ah well. Guess the poor (in this case poorly motivated?) are, as it is said "Always with us".

After a long wet and not too warm but sometimes humid so called summer here, we are now having a wet and warm fall. No leaves on the trees, they've all blown away! In passing blueberries and other wild berries did not seem as plentiful this year.

Cheers.
