Word For The Day, Monday, 12/12/11
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".
ephemeral;adj.
1. lasting a very short time; short-lived; transitory: the ephemeral joys of childhood. 2. lasting but one day: an ephemeral flower
Etymology: C16: from Greek ephēmeros lasting only a day, from hēmera day]
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....
Don’t tell Norway, but i have 14 lbs of butter in my freezer preparing for just such an eventuality... ; )
the better question, IMO, is are WE? and who will be asking that question from our side of the aisle? A+++
Newt’s campaign has been calling all weekend, I finally picked up and listened to his spiel. I suspect he will be pretty hard hitting one on one with theO. Mitt would be still trying to be Mr. Nice Guy. Michelle would look shrill calling him out. Perry would end up with his foot in his mouth. I had to admit I was leaning Newt. I do think O could win just on unity alone.
Headed back to the doctor today. I have been on antibiotics since the end of September and my head still throbs daily with intense pain. Something is really amiss. Time to see my doctor, again. I can’t take any more days like this. I am near tears now when it hits. How long can you take this kind of pain and shrug it off? I am tearing up just talking about it. I did just that last night after the squad meeting. I asked some advice. I am ready to thrash it all out with my doctor. Something has to give.
I wish I had her money to spend on my looks....I certainly wouldn't settle for this. She makes old madMaddie look good.
As they say, Beauty may be ephemeral but the reverse goes right to the femur....
Hmmmmph.
Oh, Ti, i hope you gets some answers and some relief!!
Of course, with that said it would be better if we had someone really good.
SERIOUSLY???????????????????????????? THAT HAIR????????????????????????
can you spell ATROCITY?>?????????????????
LOL!! A++++
Well, THAT’s not gonna happen. We will have to play the cards we get. We will know soon enough.
To paraphrase old Rummy, we go with the candidates we have, not the ones we would like to have.
now look, her dress is half decent. i wouldn’t wear it, but it’s not an abomination, but she has stupid shoes on with it. She cannot seem to get the right shoes with her get-ups. i do not care for Sasha’s dress [is she the older of the two?] and Malia’s tights do not go with that.
I think she took the fabric from that chair and made a suit.
does that mean we win regardless or we don’t have a prayer?
Agaisnt Mr. 43%.....
i’m a glass half empty kind of girl, and i am scared of Mr. 43%.
