THRIVING THURSDAY

Time to Ponder yet again with Brenda at http://bygadventures.blogspot.ca/

Today's word is DRAFT

Who doesn’t like Draft beer? besides me of course! DH always asks for draft beer instead of bottled beer.

Someday I would like to draft my memoirs. I have lots of ideas just not ready to put them in writing yet.

Fortunately Canada does not have a draft for our army. It is strictly for those who want to fight or protect our country. Our Armed Forces have been known for their Peace Keeping roles in the past.

I love a draft from the window in the summer time however a draft in the winter is too cold.

Are drafting tables still in use? My husband used to read blueprints in the past. Has the computer changed all of that?

Did you know that paper money is called draft? I discovered that when I was using my Thesaurus.

Thanks for Pondering today! Don’t get caught in a draft!

It is amazing that the word 'draft' has so many meanings.

Hi Judy! A bunch of drafty thoughts going on here! I had completely forgotten about drafting tables. At one time I worked for a home builder and often watched our draftsman creating wonderful homes on that big angled table that I would then tote to the print shop to have blueprints made. I'm sure computerized drafting is much more efficient, it does the precision for you. __I did not know that paper money was called draft. Is that why we say "draft a check" or "draft a loan"? I missed that use of the word too! Brenda does get us thinking about words, doesn't she?!

I had forgotten about the drafting table and I used to work for an architect!!!! Not sure that they are completely forgone, even if the computer drafts them, they still need a place to roll out the blueprints.
AND I didn't know money was called drafts, but then when I think about it, checks are drafts, aren;t they?
My recent post Draft 'y' in here!
