He was quintessentially the tough guy.

She was quintessentially British, serving high tea every afternoon even if her only companion was the dog. :-)

Wow, you can sure tell Alisande is a writer! Good job Susan!

Thanks, Jasdip! I also have a friend who's quintessentially British. ;-)

Um, how old is Sophie? I can't even spell it. lol

Thanks Alisande and Jasdip - great sentences!

Zeetera, Sophie is 9.

Alisande, I come on line only to discover you're talking about Harry and me! LOL

Caroline is quintessentially a dog and purple martins person.

o j

Caroline, Harry's a lucky dog! (But we knew that.) :-)

Love, love that word!

The quintesentional snobbish British elite love big words.

Here is proof of how much Harry was a part of the KT.

Haha.....David is inventing new big words!

Sophie is, quintessentially, the best daughter in the world.

LMAO

Necroposting from the urban dictionary:

On a message board, posting something irrelevant on a really old topic
to bring it to the top of the list topics. name comes from the fact that
you are bringing it back from the dead, thus Necro. a practice common
among n00blars.

I can 't believe how old Sophie is now.

Hi Nicole Ont,

Can Sophie, now crowding 14, remember how well she did with the "quintessentially" project?

As for spelling, just put a "quint" on the front end of "essential" ... and add a "ly" at the end.

And as for the "quints", those 5 famous girls, born a week after my brother in May '34, and (more or less stolen from their parents) lionized in Ontario and beyond for years ... does anyone know how many of those five are still alive?

ole joyful

Joyful- Annette and Cécille are still alive at 82. Émilie died at 20, Marie at 35 and Yvonne at 67 in 2001.

Jasdip... instead of HE, I would use a specific "tough guy"... Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Vin Diesel, etc.

Thanks for the message, Texas Gem.

Hard to wrap my head around the idea that my brother's that old.

ole joyfuelled

Or that you yourself are that old, OJ! :) Actually, the older I get, the less ancient aging into one's 80's seems to me.

OJ, the story of the Dionne quintuplets is the quintessential heartbreak story.

Aw. I wish I hadn't looked. They were taken away from their parents and then treated poorly, then given back to the parents and treated even worse. UGH!

Link to their sad story

Rob ... is it O.K. if I amend your post, you having left a bit to be desired in what was asked for by the O P?

"OJ, the story of the Dionne quintuplets is quintessentially a heartbreak story".

well played OJ
