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....
I'm wondering what will happen with my son-in-law's father who is a conservative Episcopal minister in Florida-so far, his congregation has been solidly behind him, but his bishop is a waverer...
guess she saw all the buzz that the bubbaloon was getting.
Good morning........ I think TherAzzaaay is suffering from being out among the "little people" - kind of like when Missionaries introduced Western diseases to tribes in South America - she was a little dizzy and had a tummy ache....... Good Lord....lol
You'd think being married to effin would provide enough high colonics for her.
speaking of being dizzy, xsteen drove home from church. SG, Mass wasn't over til almost noon, so it wasn't exactly deserted. there were even BIKERS on the dang street that she had to avoid. i did the best i could to keep my yap shut, but xshub said i WOULD have to be bound and gagged the next time. i blurted out a few things and he was not happy with me....
Should've gone to the eight o'clock...BTW, aren't bikes worth points? ;)
the first biker was an adult, riding on the dang street, and he would have made a nice hood ornament. there were two kids riding bikes in the roadway through the cemetary, where xshub had her cut through. He wasn't mentioning the kids, so that was one of the things i blurted out that made him mad. i said Watch out for the kids on bikes. I have to say he is doing a great job with her. telling her when to accelerate, when to start slowing for a light or a stopsign and also telling her to pick a point to decide about proceeding through a light, the point at which to decide whether it will change or not, and then you just keep going. i would not have thought of that, but it worked very well, he took her through the decisionmaking process at each light we came to.
One of the continual lines used by Hyacynth on that show is said to her husband, Richard. As he drives along the road, if she sees someone on the sidewalk (not even close to the street) she will say, "Mind the pedestrian, Richard"........ lol
He gives her this "why me" look and answers, "Minding the pedestrian Hyacynth"..........lol
Ok - you'd have to see the show but it is funny........and my husband will make that crack at me if he is driving and I point something out to him..........
even not having seen the show it made me LOL! i may have to start saying that!
xshub swerved to avoid a branch down on our road here,en route to church, and xsteen says Daddy! what are you doing?? and we both explained he swerved to miss a branch. she said, well i didn't see it. He rolled his eyes and said, oh great, another backseat driver in the family!
I think you're right about Tahrayzza-between her seeing X42 getting all that attention and Dubya putting a leash on her poodle at the convention she just had to grab some thunder-hasn't she ever heard of antacids? Jeez, I had indigestion after we got home from the party from eating some really greasy sausage, but I didn't make hubby take me to an emergency room-I just took some Tums and sat up for awhile-she's as much a wuss as he is...
My hubby has a fit if I point out to him that he is driving WAY over the speed limit without his radar detector on, but if I am five miles over the limit with mine ON, he says something like "Do you know you are going 60?" I always just give him an exasperated look and mutter something like telling Noah about the flood. He has offered to take me to a favorite junk/collectible/antique shop outside of Kerrville this afternoon to find something I want for my birthday-he gave me a bottle of my favorite perfume this morning, but I kind of like to pick out at least one of my own presents.
Happy birthday to ya!!
Thank you!
Thank you for the pretty cakes!
I found 4 hunter green ceramic cannisters embossed with apples and grapes for the kitchen at my favorite junk shop, and they look really good on the counter. Hubby is taking me to the fancy restaurant at the marina on the other side of the lake for dinner, so I put on a black lycra sundress with the outlines of fish printed on it in gray-it looks like a tank top that comes to my ankles, actually-this is the first time I have worn it. I'm wearing black sandals with sequins, more jewelry than usual and leaving my hair down with mother of pearl combs on the sides. I hope I look okay-I also hope their side diehes have improved-Husky girl wouldn't even eat the rice I brought her the last time we ate there...
Your outfit sounds lovely........I hope you have a wonderful time........
I'll bet you look stunning. Hope you had fun tonight!
