Acaleph is the new word of the day

Acaleph is the new word of the day.

I for one have never been told I don’t have this (hint).  However I know people who lack this (another hint) man I haven’t given out this many hints in a long time.  Okay no more hints so with the two I’ve given you do you know the meaning?  Well if you don’t by now you won’t so the meaning of (ak’e lef’) is any of several invertebrate animals as jellyfish.  Can we say having no backbone?  At times I’ve had too much backbone.  What say you?

Good morning James,

I'm familiar with this word..was one of my dad's favorite words! I have to admit I don't think I'll ever be accused of not having a backbone:).

James, if your backbones can't take the load, admit it, real estate is not for you! Bet you are a guy who can carry the load! Enjoy your day and hit them straight!

Make yourself a great day.

That's not a word anybody has ever used to describe me, either. Have you ever eaten a jellyfish? They are kind of chewy and rubbery. Just like you would expect.

Having a backbone and standing for something is vital, however being an old guy like myself, I'm sure you'd agree that as you mature you learn to pick your battles. Also when you have a person you like that you see getting walked on over and over , when you implore them to grow a backbone they seldom see that they don't have one. I guess everyone has a different tolerance level for abuse.

Good afternoon James. Sounds like not many people in our industry have been accused of being a acaleph.
