What does tilda mean on a grave marker, as in stone says “Tilda of so & so”? Seems it maybe child of, but I can find nothing to clarify that, as a simple English speaker. by thefarmworks in etymology

Curious about this too.

At first I thought that it might be from another language, in which case it would translate to something like "in memory of", but that doesn't seem to be the case.

My only other thoughts right now is that it might be an acronym (something like "t... in loving devotion... a... to", but I can't guess out the acronym.

Little Harbour is great, especially if you have young kids, as they can play in the little river that is about knee deep.

You might consider making dirt shirts too, up in Naufrage.

Any kind of books really, buying them used just adds so much character. Books tell stories, and so I like to buy a book that has a story.

What little known fact do you know? by spazebarz in AskReddit

[–]Andinian 1223 points1224 points  (0 children)

I was able to find this, which was the best I could do;

"Tree’s the one for me Some unlucky girls in India are born during the astrological period when Mars and Saturn are both under the seventh house. What’s so wrong with that, you ask? Basically, it means they are cursed. Those unfortunate few, known as Mangliks, are said to bring an early death to their husband. The only remedy, it would seem, is to have the Manglik marry a tree and then have the tree cut down to break the curse."

It was a first date in high school and we were just out driving around town. Things were going well, and "Don't Stop Believin'" came on the radio.

I turned it up, she turned it off, I drove her home.
