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.

Thomas the Train was my favorite toy for my nephew. We played with it every single day. Who were the other characters? James -- I can't even think. Those are collectibles.
Don't worry, there is no smut involved.

What about DeepintheHertzgenForest guy? I remember Quiddam because Cyber has been here since 1998. I had to ask Cyber who was who. Didn't want to offend anyone in those days!
Why do people have to be so nasty on such a wonderful day as today? I'll never get it.
Haven't read the thread...but which spelling IS it -- Antinomy...or Antimony........?!
I have heard of antimony.
I put you on our ping list. If you want off, it's a matter of poof! But I think you'll like it here.
You ladies always say that after I'm done.
I'll have to see if Cyber can figure a way mathmatically to do that? I would use just round balls, but I know eggs are not round. They are called something else. LOL!
The 12-foot Saguaro Cactus is for Christmas. Easiest stuff to put up and take down. You just plug them in and voila! they are ten feet tall!
Are you a Pisces, too?
I can't run your link because I have all my speakers turned off on my computer. I'll have Cyber take a look at it when he gets up from his series nap!
If it's from you, I'm sure it is just fine.
Tiger is right. He is a mental midget.
Hey, I'll outbid you. I'll pay $25!
Hehehehehehehe!
I'm the one with the "egg" in the front yard............
And yes - it will be a Christmas ornament again this year!!!!!!
Oh, heck - you had to remind me...........I don't have a dishwasher (yes I do, ME) and so have to empty the drainboard for the 4th time today....and I really don't want to do it.
But the good news is, all Jax clothes are put away, the shelves have been re-arranged and it seems as if we added 10square feet to her bedroom just by moving the shelves.
I feel good!!!!!! Even though my back is killing me.
Nice try.
Ooops....dishwasher full..must go fire it up.
