Sphenopalatineganglioneuralgia.
30 letters and it's one of the longest words in the English language. I bet you don't know what it means. (I didn't either!)
It means brain freeze, something I think we have all experienced. If you would like to have that feeling again, stop by your local 7 Eleven on July 11 and get a 7.11 ounce Slurpee. Slurpee turns 44 on that day and participating stores will be giving them away free, from 8am to 11 pm!

Awe man, that sounds yummy!! Too bad we don't have 7-11 here anymore!!
Funny word though!!
Sounds good now if I can just remember that date. Thanks
I can remember that date, but won't remember that word! (Are you sure it's spelled right??? haha!)
We don't have any 7-11's here.
That cracked me up! My kids love Slurpees. I'll have to see if any of our 7-11 stores are doing it. Maybe we'll just make the rounds all day long!
There have been a lot of establishments around here that have a 'free' day. I guess it's National Customer Appreciation Month or something. That's my answer and I'm sticking to it.
Brain freeze...Yep! Been there done that. LOL
LEGEND OF MARY'S BEAN is my Friday blog.
Have a great weekend.
I must tell Nicole about these. She loves brain freezes. =)
PS....good morning Mari.
To answer your question about the Mary's Bean I found ---the flower is anywhere from white, to blue, to pink or yellow. And it's of the morning glory family, found only in the Caribbean.
How interesting!!! We have "Git & Go's" around our area but we may have a 7/11 around somewhere, too!!
who knew brain freeze had an official name?
Hate brain freeze, but love a slurpee. Just so happens theres a 7-11 right around the corner. Lucky Me!
I thought it was the name of the worm we dissected in 7th grade biology :)
Love red Slurpees! Have one in my honor please :)
It's soooo hot here in N.C. that a brain freeze sounds wonderful...
Great idea...
I hope you have a great weekend.
Hugs
my daughter asked me today what does brain freeze feel like. I wasn't too sure how to explain it, but I'll be showing her this word. Now we have to figure out how to pronounce it!!
woohoo!! thanks for the tip!! can't wait to celebrate with 7*11 tomorrow with my own Sphenopalatineganglioneuralgia!! :)

That is so .... I was gonna say cool but I think I'll go with COLD!
It freezes my brain just to read that word! Except I can't really read it but only look at it!
44 is my favorite number. I'm gettin' me a Slurpee after church tomorrow ...
Darn, I love Slurpees but we don't have 7 Elevens here.
Hugs,

I was here at your blog place for more than an hour just reading your previous posts and scrolling down to view the lovely pictures you have taken on your trip.
What a great time I had just looking at the beautiful places, and reading your interesting captions.
You have a good eye, Mari, and your angles are able to capture the photos in such an artistic way!
Thanks for sharing all you did, including the misadventures you had with Alice!
Love

love this word - could not even imagine how to say it. We have no 7-11s here - enjoy !!!!
Happy Sphenopalatineganglioneuralgia Day!
:-D
Wow now that is long weird word, I can't even pronounce it. LOL
Thanks for the heads up, guess we'll be heading there today.
Erica actually pulled that one out on us on the way home from a pulmonologist appointment. She said it was a word she had made up for headaches. Brandon googled it and found out what it really was so we probed further and found out she had learned it on fetch with ruff ruffman (a PBS cartoon) little turkey.
How fun is that?
You are so creative and clever!
That's some deal!
