      No MDI is from the first letters of 'Million Dollar Initially', 'starts' being the indicator to take the first letters of the words.

    Dear Mr MB, on Fridays, by 11 O’Clock, all are answered and hence we have no chances to send our answers.
    On Sundays, the blog opens only after 10.30, and I, being busy with patients, find no time to look for the CW. If it opens as in Friday’s, I will get some leisure time to go thro’ the CW.
