inexplicable,

this endlessly gnawing yen...

      and hunger for thee!

Now the question is as follows: Is 'cacoethes' singular or plural? Or is it collective singular? There is such a word as cacoeth, I noticed; but is it the singular form. Edward you've got me tied up in knots here. Great job, sailor! Full steam ahead! ~ Ahoy there, Gershon

Thank you, Gershon:-) "Cacoethes" is singular Greek word meaning strong desire or yearning. I don't think "cacoeth" is a word. I could be wrong, though! Blessings to you, my friend!

Very well said, Edward, no words can describe how I feel for thee. Love your avatar, a sailor just like my husband and one son, the other was in the airforce. Proud of you.
