    TIL that "psalter" is a legitimate word suggested by my phone's autocorrect. It is "a volume containing the book of psalms often with other devotional material bound as well".

    I still do not think that it is a better suggestion than the word "pocket" - which is what I was going for.

    haha

    You must not have grown up in an evangelical church in the south-- I grew up watching Psalty the Singing Songbook cartoons. :laugh:

    I learned nothing productive today, however I felt I needed to contribute this here or I would be mad at myself later.

    Things aren't always in my control. I had a work dinner at Buffalo wild wings and spent all day planning out what I would eat and a logged my calories before I got there. Once I arrived I realized everything was buffet style and everything was fried. So, I enjoyed some buffalo wings and fried pickles. Little more walking today and a little less food. Life is too short too get upset about little things.

    I've been doing that for almost a decade. Easier to achieve when no-one really knows what you do but that you are somehow important to the business.
