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.

How did you get all that done today and FReep, too? Do you have a twin sister or something?
Cyber told me it was a Tom Turkey, and they don't have eggs. I asked him how he knew it was a Tom Turkey. He's thinking about it right now.
Are your plants healthy? Egg shells are good for plants, you know, calcium and all. Just ask my mother. She took a couple of dozen whole eggs and put them into the plants. Couldn't figure out the lovely aroma for about a month.
Give CG a hug for me.
What are you and xs taking? And may I get some of it?
I like your box of cereal. A+ for making the subbie laugh!
Do you want to be on the ping list? We're here every day come rain or shine . . .
"Are you a Pisces, too?"
I am a Canine.
...but I eat all the pisceses I can get.
So since "you are what you eat," I guess I am also a squirrel, gopher, tweetiebird, bug, and whatever they put into this Kibble.
(actually, I am a Typing Canine)
So what typo' canine are you when you misspilt something on the floor?
Tell cyber that if its a Tom Turkey it should have two balls, not one egg.....
I'm an temporarily elsewhere canine then, until things cool down!
...or I'm called for dinner...that always works.

LE and I are very open people. Be careful what you ask us.
