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.

Isn't that funny....this morning I had to order a new wooden Thomas engine for my little guy for his 3rd birthday....he carried around the old one so much it got lost. I shudder to think what the Brio/Thomas investment we have is (could it be as much as a couple thousand? I hope not! But possible!)
Flylady is all about keeping your house clean in 15 minutes at a time. Make sure the kitchen is clean every night, and boom! You are pretty much done. The house "cleans itself".
This only works when the kids aren't home all day!!!
Anyway, we moved a couple of years ago, and I was MERCILESS in my pitching out. If I didn't LOVE it, out it went! My house is blessedly bare. Now...I really COULD use some color on my walls, but I am decorator-challenged. I didn't get that gene.
I'm with you.
Have you been around long enough to remember TridentDelta and quiddam? That was hilarious.
Retired EE Traveled to most countries.
Or did you mean Travelled...?????
From: Pot
To: Kettle
Re: You're Black....
NOT nice.
Stand in the corner with your back to the class.........prepare for spitballs coming your way.
okay, you made me feel worse, bc i know i am undersestimating the amount of $$ lost by him giving it away. xsboy was a HUGE fan of thomas, we had a TON of it, and i had forgotten how much it cost. xsboy had a thomas room, with a thomas bed, bookcase, sheets, etc. every video, every EVERYTHING thomas, and thomas even came to Union Station and we went to see him. we still sing the DO DO DO DO DO DO, from the theme song, and imitate ringo saying HA HA HA GUFFAWED THE CARS. and my husband gave away all that crap. i am sick!
oh yeah, tridelt is still around. QUIDAM had me enthralled, i used to be spellbound by trying to figure out his posts!
You are not funny. We do not grade in here if smeone misspells a tough word. We are here to learn words and to find out what is happening in the world. If you don't like it, leave. Otherwise, I'll bring in a Moderator. And bringing in a Moderator will only be the second time in almost four years it has happened here. Is that what you want? The attention?
OH no! Did I just fall into the spelling doom that is pervading this place right now?
And my WORLD is Thomas right now....my little guy commutes with me, and we split the radio between talk radio and the Thomas or Lion King CDs.
Well isn't that special.
i enjoyed the thomas phase. very much so!
well he is hardly a member of the intelligencia and his page indicates he is old enough to know better, so apparently Huntsville just is a disagreeable sort. whatsamatta Huntsville, you don't have any liberals that you can go gloat to, you'd rather criticize people from the SAME SIDE for no reason? ummmkay....
Here's a sentence using the misspelled word....what do you think teachy....?
The democratic party in it's current "element" is like antimony.......Hard but extremely brittle metaphorically speaking. There does that satisfy that other guys definition of the misspelled word in 3 (b).......LOL?
I love the word today. Too bad it created a stir with new students. Keep the chin up.......we love subbie.
I haven't even gone through this thread yet. Trying to do so right now.
My brilliant students, I must help Cyber get the Halloween decorations up into the attic. Be back in a few minutes, make that a half an hour. There's lots of stuff. Then have to get down the Thanksgiving stuff.
We're going to have a nine-foot turkey in front of the house. LOL!
See 216.
The answer is Vermont! That's where our CPA resides. But I know he's a Republican.
I'm still going by your previous (two years ago) statement. Vice-President Cheney will step down within two years. Dr. Condi will step up to Vice-President and will be confirmed by Congress. 2008 will be President Condoleeza Rice. She has EVERYTHING going for her.
