353/365, Felicia Heiliczer
My Jew-turned-born-again-Christian friend, used to badger me daily with Jesus. When I switched schools, I told her I was moving to the islands to do soft-core porn and deal drugs. She believed me, until this past June.

Ha! I need more than 38 words on this one!
LOL! Actually, thank you for making me do another word count...I had 37 words, instead of 38! I have to add a "that" (or something).
But I think you're actually referring to my two hyphenated words? I'm using "Jew-turned-born-again-Christian" as an adjectival compound modifyer (AKA one-thought adjective) for the noun, "friend," so it counts as a single word. It's the same with "soft-core," which modifies the word "porn." So, soft-core + porn = 2 words.
You'll find that the rules for such things differ, depending on where you look, but I am a purist a that's the way I was taught.
OR, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. :-)
Now I can LOL! Actually, I count hyphenated modifiers the same way! What I meant was, I'm dying to know what happened next! Which would likely take another 38 words...
JHK: Thank you so much! I am thrilled to be here...though y'all make this look so easy!
Indigo: Sorry for the confusion. What a hoot! I really need to get more sleep. :-)
