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....

I must admit to not bouncing back from my roisterous activities as well as I once did. LOL

Unfortunately for a grade, you have to use the word in cunjunction with a news/current event type sentence. :-)

Unfortunately, NO! I'm off to Baltimore. I think I'll go see Sum of All Fears while I'm down there. I can't go to Camden Yards for dinner because the Birds aren't there. They're in NYC all week at Yankee Stadium. I'm glad I don't have any Baltimore pitchers on my rotisserie teams.

All Y'all take care.

[Gabz]

LOL!!!!

You're funny this morning!!!

[xsmommy]

gabz, what the heck are YOU doing up so early?????

[Gabz]

didn't sleep worth a darn Sat night - so last night was asleep by about 9. Been up since before 5!!!

Me who normally only has about one and a half cups of coffee is on third cup already!!!

[xsmommy]

i am still home because xshub is on a golf trip and i have to take the kids to school before heading to work. i was going to to to the gym before getting ready for work and set the alarm for 4:45 and woke up before it went off and remembered the gym would not be opening til 7 am this AM. so here my golden opportunity to sleep til 6 am was shot! i am still making coffee and packing lunches.

[Gabz]

it was really nice this morning - everyone still asleep - I had real peace and quiet.

I just heard hubby get out of the shower - so that is the end of my solitude!!!

[xsmommy]

i love being the only one up, but then, it is always me and xspup, so i am NEVER alone! i like to go out on the deck with my coffee and xspup in the AM/.

[Gabz]

The last thing I need are my dogs in the morning!!!!!!

And it was bit too chilly for my taste for the deck and coffee this morning.

Besides - I got a whole lot of work done!!!

[hobbes1]

Besides, you know that hobbes has much more interesting things to do with his tongue..

Well, if one is going to have a hobby, It should be pursued with vigor....N'est ce pas?

Good morning, Miss Rika.

I hope someone sent in an excuse for me last week. I was traveling. Wahoooo! Went to Las Vegas, Reno and then on to Lake Tahoe to visit my sis, BIL and nephew and niece. Had a wonderful time. Cyber flew up on Friday for the drive home. 877 miles each way. . .

[Slip18]

Nice tongue, Tiger!

[CholeraJoe]

[xsmommy]

welcome back slippy! we missed you! glad you had fun.

[xsmommy]

those do not look very appealing to me, sorry to say....

[xsmommy]

this is the amusement park where we always went on our school picnics, and where my brother and i still take our kids when we are home. this is very sad.
