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. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

I am sleep-deprived but very happy. :-) I need to grab a nap today since I work again tonight.
I forgot to ask you, how the he!! did the Aggies not beat Baylor like a red headed step child last week???? Losing to Baylor, how embarassing.
Thanks, Gabz. My muscles are sore from putting up and taking down Halloween decorations. Tonight we'll put them in the attic, then take down the Thanksgiving decos. Not a whole lot of those, though.

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Thursday!
Congratulations for your re-election victory, President Bush! :^D
You received MORE votes than ANY U.S. President in our History!
What's the over/under that the overdue for his dirt nap ex-pres will be the first one to offer condolences to his fellow Nobel laureate?
Cyber had to warm up his car today. 46 degrees last night. I went out and got the paper. Brrrrrrrr.
Must have gone to someone else who turn in their homework!!!
One hour. It will take that long for the old fool to find a tv camera
It sounded like our secondary was tertiary and let them run all over us. :( We play Oklahoma next. I believe that will be a tougher game.
And I have the audacity to complain about 46. Someone beat me with a wet noodle.
You may have a Pansy - but I've got 2 Prima Donnas that won't go outside if it is raining....they will hold, hold, hold, until the absolute last possible minute. And the purebred sides of each of them are HUNTING dogs.........wimps, both of them.
You show me where antinomy is a metallic substance, and I'll give you back your alimony. Trade names are not fair game here unless it's in a poem or you are trying to make subbie laugh.
There are dictionaries in the back of the classroom. Go look.
Check your post #3 (b)
You get an A+, Tx. Nice find.
correction, yasssar may not have died, but if he did they would deny it in order to establish control over the people....so we can speculate and wait while they play games. Interesting day..........
We're only at 59. I think I could build an igloo outside.
LOL!!!!!!! I do not buy into the lib horsecrap - being a housewife is a noble occupation.
But no where near as noble as being a MOM.............xsMOMMY!!!!!
I'm currently looking for my dining room table - it is so piled up with clothes, including the 4 loads of laundry I did this morning.............and I still haven't attacked my totally gross kitchen.
Hubby called a little while ago, he's headed home, work is dead and he thinks he's fighting something off - I think it's just delayed reaction to the 2 teeth he had pulled Tuesday. But it basically means my afternoon is shot, because he will be in my way.
xshub would go nuts if he saw the mess that my kitchen is right now! it looks like a cyclone hit it. i have the oven and bread machine going, stuff raising, stuff cooling.
