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....

Good News: Edouard just told me he's got a friend coming in from Belgium this week, and he's going to see if he can score us some more chocolate....

[SeaDragon]

Thanks Slip.

He is so easy to look at.

Oh, and I like his gun too..........

[Slip18]

That is so great. Lord knows we could use a little "uplifting" chocolate around here!

[SeaDragon]

Slip, you are making my day for sure.

[Slip18]

I didn't save the movie star photo you have posted before. So I couldn't put him in the group.

[SeaDragon]

Well that is a bummer.

[Slip18]

I'm so glad, Sea. I think we all need a little laughter around here, even though it's so difficult right now. Death, murder, mayhem, war, terrorism, et cetera, is not a laughable matter. Oh, I forgot, sleezy elections, too!

[Slip18]

When you were posting that photo, I didn't know how to ambit (copy).

Miss Rika, is that an okay usage of the WFTD?

[SeaDragon]

True, true. Laughter is a good thing as it helps us the the bad things in life.

Slip, you are making my day for sure.

That having been taken care of....Perhaps you would like the night to be filled with fireworks, and.......eruptions...

That having been taken care of....Perhaps you would like the night to be filled with fireworks, and.......eruptions...

Oh my, what a lovely idea. I can't think of any better way to spend the night.

How have you been, sweetness? Did you miss me?

[Slip18]

I just found this photo.

It's geocities, I hope it works.

[SeaDragon]

I can't open it.

:(

[Slip18]

It's Geocities. I should have known.

It's a gruff picture of James Arness. I hadn't seen it before.

[MeekOneGOP]

heh heh !!
A classic.....

[SeaDragon]

Can't win them all, I guess.

I am still trying to find an easy place to use for pictures. Ever since Monkeyview went south, I have been picture posting challenged............

xs,

I was worried about you last night when I saw this latest news. I thought that sounded a little too close to your neck of the woods for comfort. Stay safe.

Someone recently told me of a new place. I'll check for it later on. I know they pinged me to it.
