Roll Call.
My son is on a five day yearly visit, so don’t expect me around much. Grade your own work, or each other’s. I’ll be here when and while I can.
Is that a blandadmishant that he’s up north in the mountains enjoying breakfast and dinner with you?
Too many people think government
Is something that heaven sent
To unfurl
A perfect world
So they believe in politicians’ blandishments
In the rainy hills of NY, yes. San Jose has had a drought and he hasn’t seen rain since spring. And he is sleeping in still.
A++++ They should place their trust in God, not government.
I have a suggestion for a word for the day for the malcontent complaining yesterday. The word is THE.
Enjoy your son! I am so fortunate to have my kids and grandson local, I can’t complain to any of my friends about missing Gord and xsteen and xsSIL bc they’ve gone to the beach in ocean city NJ for a week. None of their kids live nearby so they don’t want to hear it!
Blandishing a file alm can get one into rots of tloubre.
They say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. So, if you’re invited to a woman’s home on a date, you might be expecting her to woo you with steak, baked potatoes, and perhaps, a nice bottle of Bordeaux. If, instead, she serves you a bowl of oatmeal, it should be pretty obvious what that bland dish meant.
"I’m backing up, they kept coming towards me. They kept coming towards me. That’s why I drew. I was outnumbered, they were pushing and shoving me, they were using their flagstaffs as weapons. I was backing up, they kept coming towards me. I feared for my life they had weapons,” Michael Strickland said.

(Notes...1) see note at bottom of article for BLM reference, 2) substituting blandishment for brandishing...just for funsies.)
As I lowered my pants, I was expecting her to laugh,yet to my surprise she offered me a blandishment of an ooh!
Wouldn’t the other Ocean City be closer?
Hope you enjoy the visit!
A staffer who crosses Hillary
Might have more than regrets-
To assure loyalty she employs
Not blandishments but threats
Of the probable consequences
Of whispering in the wrong ear
Some juicy tidbit about herself
Could just make you disappear
If you’re lucky-you’ll be ruined
And cast into the political dark
But if not-you could be found
Arkancided in a public park...
I saw that there was another complainer visiting class yesterday, and I never see the point of their bitching-the object of class is to play with words not used every day-if they aren’t into that, what the hell are they doing here complaining? They can always start their own daily word thread-call it words everyone uses daily-or something like that...
#1 ocean city MD is a dive compared to ocean city NJ, and #2, the other grandparents own a beach house in ocean city NJ, so the kids are staying for free, and being fed etc. I’ve not yet been, but ocean city NJ is supposedly quite nice, and the inlaws have gone there since his xsSIL’s childhood.
same complainer who crops up just to b!tch about the word choice, bless his/her little tiny heart. Let’s offer a prayer for them.
Doesn’t like to see people playing with words and getting a laugh or two from it, I guess...
Your suggestion had too many letters. I suggest the word “is” for the next complainer.
