Word For The Day, Friday, 12/31/04
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".
diaphanous
adj. ; dia·pha·nei·ty (d-f-n-t) or di·apha·nous·ness n. di·apha·nous·ly adv.
1. Of such fine texture as to be transparent or translucent: diaphanous tulle. 2.Characterized by delicacy of form. See Synonyms at airy. 3.Vague or insubstantial: diaphanous dreams of glory
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
When I was a kid it was always ham or turkey, again.......... but I sometimes do a pork roast or even steaks........ we've done the big steak dinner before too.
I bought more than one!!!!! I got 8, Jax got 3 and hubby and SIL got 1 each!!!!
Sigh. I never catch up.
what did you buy, gabz? the prime rib is not medium rare yet based on the thermometer. i had a mini nap and feel like i can probably make it to midnight.
I bought cookbooks!!!!!
Hubby found one that is an absolute hoot - The WASP cookbook
Luckily, I had today off and went shooting. First time I was able to in ages.
I figured it was safer to shoot .45's at the range instead of up in the air (I'm in the town limits) at midnite.
sounds like a fun thing to do. oh heck, just one good round at midnight to ring in the new year....
With my luck, that .45 round would be going through my head. That would hurt. It's not some wuss gun like the 9mm ..... ;)
I'm so glad we're not in San Antonio anymore. Every year someone near downtown ends up shooting some innocent person by firing the gun into the air on New Year's. It is a stupid tradition.
I just remembered - we've got a bag full of bottle rockets and firecrackers...........
Oh well, they'll just have to wait for another day/night/holiday..........cause I'm already in my granny nightie and may not make it til midnight!!!
Remember where you stash them before July 4th! Even better - write it on your new 2005 calendar, on July 3rd.
ROFL!!!!!
They're under the bar - no need to worry about documenting the location.
I'm actually thinking about taking a nap and getting back up and scaring the beeeeejus out of the young men across the road from us. They are obviously having a party, based on the number of cars that have been pulling in their drive.
Happy New Year, FRiend.
And another one bites the dust.......
You .... you .... ah, you didn't expect me to reply to that nighty-thing, did you?
(shudder)
Sorry, FRiend - I've been playing on the live thread and so missed this.............
happy New Year, FRiend!!!!!
Happy new year, friend.
Sounds like a witch's curse!
You're a grandmother? Oh yeah....sorry about that...(I'm joking there, but I just couldn't pass up that one liner!!!)
First off, what the hell kind of bar closes at 11:00? On a FRIDAY of all days - and that the local bar most of the hotties go to. :( Not a good sign.
Secondly - I'm picky, and will flat out admit it, but how bad is it when the only woman that can catch my eye on New Years has a ring?(and I don't break up families and turned down every married woman that I attracted - ever)
I've never had this bad of luck. LOL.
