fiend

ok, so i was thinking ( i like to do that sometimes) about writing a blog, i don't know if other people out there think about what they're going to write in their next blog, but i do it sometimes, sometimes i even make lists of possible ideas to write about.... for instance i'd like to write a blog on the "burg" and all it's wonderfulness, and perhaps the "ham" and the "dale" too. anyway i was thinking about this blog and i was going to write about the weather (which has been really rediculously cold here... it was actually 22 degrees this morning, which is so weird, considering not too long ago it was in the 80's!! i guess weird isn't the right word for it, cause it is january.... anyway i was thinking of writing to all the weather fiends out there.... but then i didn't know how to spell "fiend" so i did a google search for "fene" and "feen" and "feene" 'cause i did not know that "fiend" had a "d" at the end.... so i went to george and asked him.... he's who i go to when i'm at work and i have a question that's kind of off the wall that has nothing to do with anything... he's my guy. and he knew... we did a google search for fiend, and at first we looked for wikipedia sites... we got some rapper, who was unknown to george..... and we also found alien sex fiend, which we ignored and moved on to the webster's dictionary definition (we'll go with 2a):
