Word For The Day, Monday, 10/20/14
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
aporetic;. adj.
adjective
tending to doubt
Examples
The aporetic voice is that which expresses wonder and perplexity.
Word Origin
from a Greek word meaning 'to be at a loss'
Etymology: c.1600, from French aporetique, from Greek aporetikos, from aporeein "to be at a loss," from aporos "impassable, impracticable, very difficult; hard to deal with; at a loss," from a-, privative prefix (see a- (3)), + poros "passage" (see pore (n.)).
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
A+++ he’s a despot.

Nice.
Guess whose boss invited him to go the Steeler game tonight?
Cool.
When my compadre and I were taking stuff to a jobsite in his truck, we heard that nurse#2 had lawyered up, and ended up discussing that from an employer/employee point of view-
Maybe lawyering up was smart
For the Dallas nurse who flew-
With ebola she went shopping
Without even a thought or two
She has wedding plans you know
It was the most pressing thing-
Exposing hundreds is unimportant
When shopping for dresses and bling
I remain aporetic-her attorney
May be for defense, as it were
If someone she wantonly exposed
Decides that they want to sue HER
My compadre asked me if I thought she would sue the hospital where she worked, and I said I thought that might be risky for her under the circumstances-what if she gets fired-sued employers are not very nice people-and she loses-then she has no job, no legal settlement and someone might be lawyering up to go after her-an irate bridesmaid, whomever.
I think she’d be WAY better off filing a workers comp claim-she could get as much as a year off with all the follow up meds, counseling, rehab, etc anyone could want-and still be collecting as much as 3/4 of her pay each month. When she is released to return to work, she could get accommodations, if she gets a disability rating. That is the kind of
client I used to love having assigned to me when I was a case manager-all to be done by the book...
HILARIOUS with sound! Thx.
Be careful in Chicago. Lots of careless shooting going on around there — even in the nice parts.
Of course, on election day, they’ll probably all be up in Milwaukee and Racine trying to vote.
That's when they should be shot.
Good on you!!
Hope the rain stays away. Check my Twitter feed for a photo. I could probably spit on the players from here.
Can you smell them
From there? My SIL just said they’re stinking.
Turn it back on. They just went from down 13-0 to winning 24-13 at half. Two turnovers leading to 2 TDs in the final two minutes.
