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.

He better not try playing dodge ball in here. He'll be crying all the way home.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Take some photos, okay?
You're a good man, tiger!!!!

File "it" under ass-u-me except change it a bit to read,
Huntsville you made an "@ss" out of "U" ....not "me"........LOL.
Is this your first time on WFTD? You get an A!
You get an A+, Dutchgirl. And thank you!
Yes, we still should, because we hate cancer.
I think it should have said: "My wife just spent . . . and she got nothing." LOL!
LOL, I saw that after I typed a response about sports equipment!
to be honest, i don't know that she did, but i am thinking of one woman that i know that has 5 kids and the youngest is a boy, i am betting she took it and i don't blame her. that is the incentive to help with the sorting, they get first dibs on the stuff that comes in and i am sure that she gave a nice amount of $ for it, though nothing like what it was worth.
Let us gloat! We need to gloat. Gloating is good for the soul when we almost had the devil take over.
You two were about three seconds off from each other. I like the name Miss Beasley. Great present!
Well, about the Thomas set....try to look at it from the point of view that it will be loved by another child, and that you are blessing someone else with it.
I help with the Parish white elephant table, and last year the older ladies that I work with made me buy (for $1.50) a very "loved" (read, dirty) American girl doll. My daughter already had one that she never played with....but they insisted that I needed to buy her. Well, I brought her home, cleaned her face with a cotton swab and alcohol. My daughter named her "Mallon" and it is her favorite doll. (What do I do with the one I paid $80 for????)
you are right, if i don'tthink about how i wanted those trains for xsboy's KIDS, i am fine with it.
A+ for you, fritzz. Danged good usage of the WFTD.

I will not get another dog who sheds, ever, ever and never.
For some reason my old dog and the cat seem to be getting along better. Something is up with that.
