Updated: Greetings. Here's my updated #Introduction: I'm Dweebish, one of the olds, a geek & #EmptyNest-er. I'm a #Cat person, though I like most animals. I enjoy #Photography and #Writing words; I'm definitely better at the former. I like #WordPlay and #Puzzles, and learning about almost anything.

I may have bought these primarily for the #WordPlay, which was transparent to me as a Dane (🇳🇱 “verdraaid lekker” = 🇩🇰 “fordrejet lækker”), and it also translates well into English: “twisted(ly) delicious”.
