Word For The Day, Friday, 9/3/04



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".

POSIT: verb. (pa-zit) tr.v. pos·it·ed, pos·it·ing, pos·its

1. To assume the existence of; postulate. See Synonyms at presume. 2. To put forward, as for consideration or study; suggest: “If a book is hard going, it ought to be good. If it posits a complex moral situation, it ought to be even better” (Anthony Burgess). 3. To place firmly in position.

Etymology: [From Latin positus, past participle of pnere, to place. See position.]

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....

Robert, I think you misread that photo of Jax last year........ Gabz and Coolbreeze where holding onto Jax so she wouldn't try to get to the front of the class to tell the teacher what she should be doing! lol

I hope she has a great year Gabby........ first grade is a big milestone!

Your baby is in first grade and mine is in her first year of college......wanna trade?

After the week I've just been through - sure!!!!!

I think it's a serious case of mommy burn-out. about the only thing that has maintained my sanity the past 2 weeks has been feeding my friend's animals. I've been spending a couple hours a day at her place and Jax has been having a ball playing with all of her cats.

You couldn’t knock him over by batting your eyelashes at him. He certainly had a profound effect on women.” Another member speculates: “Maybe he was a good kisser, from all those years as a saxophone player.” His ex-wife Joan Mitchell Blumenthal offers a different explanation. “He is very clever, he knows a lot about a million things, and he has a wonderful sense of humor.

i thought the Bush twins looked MUCH better last night! xsteen got a kick out of Laura's interview with Seanny, when she said that the twins love to HARRASS their grandmother and vice versa. xskids have made harrassement an ARTFORM!

Well, a woman would CLOSE HER EYES while kissing - maybe that helped............ (geez.....I'd have needed duct tape on my eyes so there was no danger of them opening....)
