Roll Call.
It's: suh-fros-uh-nee
I would have bet money on soph-ro-sine
the decided lack of sophrosyne here has lead to numerous opuses by longtime freepers. none are so blind as those who refuse to see that the vitriol even more than the trumpfandom is what is driving people out.
my biggest beef is that they tout that daily caucus thread as a valid indicator of Freeper support for trump. it is NOT. how many posters post to that thread? 100? maybe. and it’s the same zealots daily. there is no unanimity of trump support from the freeper base. how many who don’t post to that thread don’t because of what sort of fresh hell of abuse they might become subject to by revealing themselves as not supporters of trump. i think i voted there once. there is no appropriate category for most of us anyway. i can’t stand cruz, think Trump is unelectable, not a conservative and a thin skinned bully. i will not vote for hillary. i will likely vote for the thin skinned bully bc i am #neverhillary. that caucus thread is BS and having it touted as some proof of freeper support just annoys the crap out of me. i would LOVE a true blind poll with appropriate choices.
thanks for posting, i was mentally pronouncing it that way also.
rhymes with demonsthenes, LOL.
Suh-fros-uh-nee?
Gosh that’s funny.
My eyes, not keen
Read SOPH-ro-seen.
But I won’t make
A conflagration,
I do everything
In moderation.
One can't be a poet if one doesn't know how to pronounce words. Unless one is a rap star. (Because "birfday" still rhymes with "earf day.")
Pronunciation is always at the source....go there to hear it pronounced.
"soph-ro-sine" sounds much more like an adjective.
Slick Willy should have used some sophrosyne
Before seating Monica across a knee
Then pulling her thong
Which, clearly, was *wrong
His excuse for what followed was lost on me
*I used sophrosyne by not rhyming “thong” with “schlong.”
That’s helpful. LOL
Good game last night. I think it’s going to be a long series and the winner takes the conference.
Off to take puppy to the vet, she isn’t eating consistently these days and we are worried. Probably a big fat vet bill for nothing...but here goes.
BBL
I am off to the vet too. Good luck for your pup.
“What’s that Vito?” “S’frozen knee from our last hit.”
Diagnosed with acid reflux...no big surprise there. LOL
It is the nastiness that is getting to me. It is offensive to see Lyn’ this and that when it has NOT been proven, just stated by Trump. What a cult that is.
A++++ Excellent and great sophrosyne in keeping it clean. LOL
Sophrosyne – Either that’s a toothpaste for wisdom teeth, or a nasal spray for someone in the second year of higher education…
I’m glad your doggie is okay...
It is humid, overcast and 76-it is likely to start raining any minute-
Liberals aren’t into sophrosyne
They’re more boorish each day
Instead of respecting everyone
They riot to get their own way
They scream at those exercising
Their equal right to be heard-
Smash up a cop car for emphasis
And then flip everybody the bird
And after punching a few people
Who just may happen to disagree
They then get hauled off to jail
To see how tolerant cops can be...
