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.
Dodgeball Day!
Subbie Slip has given her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs to xs 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.
I thought for the limo. LOL
if anyone in this house is going to get a driver it is going to be me. With him out of town for multiple days this week, on Weds PM i was in the car pretty much nonstop from 2:30 to 6:45 pm. taking them to and fro. The van, which is a year old last month, has 22k mi on it. we are some driving fools. and that is with THREE vehicles in the household.
Usually, it is a cab to Dulles...and a cab home.
Yikes.....that's a lot of driving.
your kids take the bus or walk everywhere, no doubt. i don't have that option. also, your family lives their lives within the confines of that tiny earthwatching town. i find that totally bizarre since that is just one stop on our treadmill from Fairfax, to Annandale, to Georgetown, to ALexandria, to Capitol Hill, and then back to falls church,and if i am lucky, out to Ashburn for hockey.
that is so COOL! i bet your BIL is loving all that stuff! what a great gift for your dad!
I guess we can assign whatever causes we like to explain the collapse, but XS may be on to something...Tiger may be expending too much energy at home. :-p
translation: i didn't have it, bc i left it at home with my wife.
FFX is a long drive for me. I avoid it.
Yep...and I'm lobbying hard to have those head covers bequeathed in my direction some (hopefully distant) day.
your family's way of life is a foreign mindset for me, as well. growing up, my catholic elementary school was 11 miles from home. we lived on 8 acres of land out in the country, going anywhere involved driving to get there. each of my grandmothers lived 15-18 mi. from my parents so visiting them on weekends was another drive. going to visit school friends was the same thing. so i can't imagine walking everywhere and never driving outside of a 2 mi square earthwatching town.
be nice to daddy : )
So give me an "F" and the thermos...walking to the corner with my dunce cap on...
;^)

Always. 8-]
i'm telling. ; )
Before my grandmother moved to the dairy farm. Maybe that's why she did it. ;)
I had a community service blood pressure screening to do from 6:00 am to 10:00 am today. Way too early for a Saturday morning. The husband took my nice Avalon, and left me the standard puddle jumping car he just bought -- a Mazda Protege.......gees, how much trouble can I get into with that thing? No speeding tickets but I could stall it at the busy intersection by the mall if I tried.
I haven't had the luxury of walking or taking the bus anywhere and everywhere since I left NYC in 1982.
Folks in NYC, and I assume similar type situations, have no concept of distance. When I lived in Dover, but worked in Maryland, I had an 80 round trip drive every day.....folks back home totally freaked out - until I expressed it in terms of drive time. 45 minutes each way they could comprehend, not 40 miles each way.
...in front of a truck. ;)
