Are you in?

I love words, and I wrote about the word "in" several years ago on this blog.

Oops! I just read all the comments on my previous "study" of the word "in" and found a comment I myself posted three-and-a-half years ago that includes this post (that I found on Facebook) and goes well beyond it with additional perceptive or in-sightful musings. This comment can be found here: http://bonniesbooks.blogspot.com/2009/10/its-in-thing.html

A friend sent an email with some more "in" words to add to our list:

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family, and co-workers. I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.

I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.

I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.

One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

I may have been in Continent, but I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there.
