There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

do you remove a random letter each time, or is it always the last letter? Or the first?

Well, it must have an 'a' or an 'i' in it, since no other letter is a word in itself.
That's the limit to my brain activity for a Friday afternoon.

    So yesterday my nephew got his braces put on and he spent the night with me. He woke up hurting and after giving him some tylenol I just talked to him a while about funny stuff and I mostly talked about when I was younger in HS and had more friends and all the fun things we did. After he fell asleep I stayed awake wondering what happened to that girl she was happy or at least I had friends to do...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
