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.

What a great story. I do so love stories. Maybe you could write a book some day.
Another great story! It's story time on WFTD.
JaJ opened the Smokers' Lounge today? Yippieeee!
Believe it or not, Arghie, you get an A++++ today. I dislike Moore so much that you made my day.
I always thought it was the girl friend. There's an automatic appeal, anyway.
I finally found out I didn't have gremlins in my CPU!!!
I told the Tiger if he told me after having a baby on Nov. 5 that I could make a Thanksgiving dinner (she was being sewn up at that point), I would take a scissors and stab him. LOL!
You want stories............I've got stories..........and I'm only into my 1st 5 hours of a weekend of 2 (count'em 2) 6 year olds...............
God Bless the women with more than one who deal with it on a regular basis.
I saw your comment......unfortunately I could not appropriately respond at the moment because of circumstances surrounding me.......that included a looneytune dog and meatballs.
(Don't tell Hobby that. He'll start planning things ....)
xshub must be seeing the remnants of a horrible storm or an influx of illegal immigrants. There's a CIA thread on Puerto Rico. It's very interesting. It's at Google about ten stories down on PV. There's a lot more people there than I remember. Average woman's age at death is over 80, as I recall.
Amber? No way. She's seems like the kind that rebound well. Not the Glenn Close "Fatal Attraction" type.
Don't tell Hobby that. He'll start with those oboxiouz obscource obscene comments about you chowing down on a long thick weiner with two balls ....
I was an awful babysitter, though. When they were about five, I gave them Margaritas so they would go to sleep. Neither of them drink to this day.
We have a really nice storm going through here. Right now it's a dirt storm, but it will turn into rain any moment.
You mean like: If Mrs. Hobbes can have an eight-pound baby, she sure as heck can have a nine-pound one?
What I can't figure is how he is so dumb and such a loser to do what he did, if he did it.
I dunno.
(Does Hobby have a none-pound one?)
Maybe in the making already . . .
