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.

If you would look, you POS, I spelled the word "antinomy." So this student should go back to the dyslexic class where he belongs. Poor dear.

The problem is this: I put everyone in alphabetical order. Unfortunately, xsmommy, is the last name. I was thinking about putting you, Miss Rika and Vastie on top because of our teacher/subbie status.
Better woman than I am. I avoid my attic when at all possible - I do not like the stairs......too steep and no handrail.
Ahh, the antinomies of reading and comprehension! :-)
My kitchen is just typical clutter and I will get to it........as soon as I figure out how I am going to fit all of these clothes into Jax' dresser...there is no way they are going to fit.
I think I will make another cull through them and put some more of it into the plastic container for the spring and see if I can increase the Food Bank pile.
if i am away when i am first pinged, pings tend to get lost in a pile, that is what happened this AM. i had taken xsteen to school and wasn't back when you pinged me and so i didn't see it at first! my mistake!
Kerry is pro-money(his money, not ours), and anti-America
Kinda like his pimp, Soros.
we use the rubbermaid tubs in the basement to store the offseason clothes. xsbrownie has more clothes than anyone in the house bc she has her own clothes plus handmedowns from 3 girl cousins and big sis. at one point i counted her underpanties and she had 60 pair, and i hadn't bought her any of her own!
There is a genius classroom down the hallway. I think you would be more happy there.
It looks like Arlen Spector is a walking antinomy.
