Tuesday, May 02, 2006, STALEMATE

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.


STALEMENT

Pronunciation: 'stA(&)l-"mAt Function: noun
Etymology: obsolete English stale stalemate + English 1mate


1 : a drawing position in chess in which only the king can move and although not in check can move only into check 2 : a drawn contest : DEADLOCK; also : the state of being stalemated

Well I've never been the bad girl in any setting so Cyber can be the worst student in class!

Yes, exactly. Two years ago I found out I had a traumatic heart attack in 1990. It was from a car accident. So I have to tell the ambulance attendants about that, too. They usually give me morphine right then and there because it opens your blood vessels.

Our moms were not right about wearing beautiful undies all the time. The ambulance attendants cut off all of your clothes to check blood pressures in different places. So don't wear your expensive panties. Just wear old PJs. LOL!

That's all the rage these days. I'm too old to catch the real wave, though.

Cyber has taken it apart twice. First he used nail glue and duct tape. Then he went for something extra special, a gummy piece left over from the new dishwasher. Still died. So he's going to take every piece apart and clean it thoroughly tonight. I love my Windows 98.

The 'puter I'm typing on now has all the bells and whistles, the screen even turns around and you can hand write posts if you so desire, but there are too many things in here. I like to keep it simple.

A++++ for you, and thank you for my poem!

HAH! I don't see the big deal either. From the tone of this, you'd think some genius just invented female brass players.

And I know, although French horns are made of brass, they're considered woodwinds. Maybe because they were made out of wood once, I don't know, it's one of those goofy musical things.

He would never do that. Heck, he gets home from work at 11:30 a.m. Works the rest of the day from here because he likes my food. LOL!

I'm so glad we got your photo back. I've missed it so much!
