refulgence, refulgency; noun
refulgently; adverb

1. Shining brightly; radiant.

Etymology: Latin refulgentia, from refulgent-, refulgens, present participle of refulgEre to shine brightly, from re- + fulgEre to shine. Date: 1634

Franklin Graham said something very similar the other night on H&C or oreilly.

speaking of my seanny, did anyone see him last night with the proabort woman from Planned parenthood on the issue of the restraining order against the woman that the boyfriend got to prevent her aborting his child? seanny did a wonderful job, i was very proud. he was pummelling the woman on whether it bothered her as a woman to see the sonograms of perfectly formed little babies, being ripped out of their mother's wombs. i love seanny.

[xsmommy]

To: xsmommy

CATFIGHT!!! better watch out!

[NeoCaveman]

That lady was a twit. She must have said "my" 20+ times in 5 minutes. I'm suprised hannity didn't call her on her absolute selfishness.

[xsmommy]

he pounded her on the roe v. wade crap, saying i don't want to hear the law, we know the law. and you're right, she kept saying MY CHOICE, MY CHOICE, MY RIGHTS. the other guy could have been a bit more articulate. he had the right idea but wasn't quite effective enough. seanny did a good job though.

[hobbes1]

That is why I like the GE commercial...

Gee Honey, there's our Choice...

[xsmommy]

exactly! seanny was ramming that into her face, figuratively speaking, and she was completely nonplussed by it. He asked if she was a mother, she has 2 kids and apparently aborted one, by her own admission.

4. It is important that these three women never meet.

When hubby and I first met, I fit all of the first 3!!!! Now I don't qualify for #2.

[xsmommy]

ooooh looky how you put him on the TO: line, looking for verification! LOL!

[hobbes1]

n the issue of the restraining order against the woman that the boyfriend got to prevent her aborting his child?

That is the part that irks me almost as much. IF she deigns to carry 36 weeks, she can screw him for the rest of his life, in Child Support, while denying him Fatherhood rights, but His potential interest, and the childs potential interest are somehow less worthy than her right to not be uncomfortable for 9 mos.

[Gabz]

What would the Fate of te Democratic Party be,.........

There would be no DNC - HURRAH (I know, wishful thinking)

[xsmommy]

when we were first married i fit all 3, but now, between consuela and i, all bases are covered...; )

[xsmommy]

well seanny and the other guy were making that point, they cannot get around that very obvious inequity.

[hobbes1]

Oh, there would be a DNC, but they would be as politically potent as the LP...LOL, who knows maybe Harry Browne could take over at that point, and get into a Debate...

[hobbes1]

Consuela makes good money?

[Gabz]

I missed that - too much other stuff going on around here, if you know what I mean!!!!

But I love sean as well!!!

And my hubby thinks the croqs who are calling him lavender are snorting stuff they shouldn't be.

[xsmommy]

well of course the boys are silly.

[RikaStrom]

Not quite.... he was suing for his child. She would have had to sign over all rights and visitation. He'd never had to have seen her again. (different situation)
