About Exigency

Exigency is a noun that, when used in the singular, describes a crisis or emergency that needs immediate attention. When used in the plural — exigencies — you can describe the overall pressing nature or demands of a situation. Either way, there’s work to be done.

Did you Know?

Even Latin evolves. This demanding noun can be traced back to “exigentia,” which means urgency, but that comes from the Latin verb “exigere,” which means to demand. The root words have merged into exigency, an English noun for an urgent demand or need.

Free DVDs - CLAIMED

****DVDS NAVE BEEN CLAIMED ******

So I decided to check out the more compact package of the series and I like it a lot (I'm trying to downsize, and those big bulky DVD collections are always problematic).


So since I'm moving on to smaller and better things, I'm happy to give my briefcase collection to anyone who wants/needs it - or is anyone keeping any kind of shared library of the disks for people to borrow?

If there's no fannish "library," it's pretty much first come first served. I'll ship 'em off to you.
