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".
Megillah, Megilla
b.a lengthy and tediously complicated situation or matter.
2. Hebrew. a scroll, especially one containing the Book of Esther. Others are the Book of Ecclesiastes, the Song of Solomon, the Book of Ruth, and the Book of Lamentations.
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....

Thanks.
I was thinking stroke, but he hadn’t had one. He was sepsis.
97 is indeed a long life-may he rest in peace...
I really like that table-scrap lumber is wonderful material to recycle-you can get so many different variations of color and texture with it-is your SIL going to use one of those heavy-duty polymers to seal the top, or going to use the regular clear coat stuff?
Wow-that seems like a strange thing to come on in a sudden fashion-but some years ago it happened to a woman out here suddenly, too-she was around 50, not sick and she collapsed like that-there was nothing to be done for her-it turned out to be sepsis, too...
Something heavy duty, but he still has to test different things to make his final decision.
When he arrived at church he told one of the other ushers that he didn’t feel right and he thought something was wrong....he knew something was going on.
Cruz should have bit the bullet and endorsed Donald Trump from the podium. I disagree with a lot of what he did when his campaign started free falling, and I disagree with this decision. If he couldn’t endorse Trump, he should have stayed home. That being said, I wish everyone would just move on as graciously as they can. This sniping is dividing us, not uniting us. Trump may not be happy, but he moved on. His supporters should, too. They need all the votes they can get to beat Hillary. Whatever happened to being gracious in victory?
Very appropriate characture....
But enough about Hillary’s appearances on TV’s endless Megillapportunities for debased rapture by her press corpse.
Is she going to have a “theme” for decorations and setup and menu? Or just trying for the walk-in/drive-in family lunch & dinner?
Sorry about your old kitty. He had a good long run, didn’t he?
I agree but think Cruz should have just stayed home, but he did what he did. I don’t really care about the whole controversy.
