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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
plaudit \PLAW-dit\,noun:
plaudits; noun, plural
1. A round or demonstration of applause.
2. Enthusiastic approval; an expression of praise.
The aim of the wise man was no longer the plaudits of the masses but autarkeia, or self-sufficiency.
--Peter France, Hermits: The Insights of Solitude
Etymology: Latin plaudite, "applaud" (said by players at the end of a performance), from plaudere, "to applaud."
welcome to our world...............
Well, had my first hurricane. Actually, it was probably a tropical depression. But we did get a good soaking.
If it didn't feel right, you're doing it wrong. DUH!
Hiya, Sea! How goes it? And what happened to your old fur-lined handcuffs? Did they finally die a natural death?
Ah, I see that 58 is another early bird. Is the coffee made, or shall I make some?
Buckhead deserves plaudits from a grateful nation.
Good morning!
Welcome B58
Everyone overslept in this house this am...actually it was a matter of going back to sleep after having gotten up at OH-dark-thirty. So hubby is now driving Jax to school. Mondays.........

That's quite a trip for someone who lives in Lala Land...
Oh, how nice! May I have the strawberry tart?
Yes you may! Good morning......How much longer do you think before the new word for the day will appear?
I'd better finish this bid and get it to the customer near Boerne-I have to go to the grocery store and feed store today on the way home-fortunately both are on the highway I'll be on...
CU L8R!
It should be up any minute-I'm watching for it, but if it isn't up before I finish my bid and get it printed, I'll have to join afternoon class instead-I'm determined not to let this be another rushed and crazy Monday.
True he does.
A+
Have a good day.
I think we are going furniture shopping for anew bed for Jax. One of those loft type arrangements that a desk can go underneath.
