Word For The Day Monday 10/21/02
The Verbivores | 10/21/02 | Mistress Bella

Posted on 10/21/2002 6:24:21 AM PDT by Bella_Bru

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....


Today is Dubyaismypresident's birthday, so please join me in wishing him the happiest ever! Today's word is a Friday style word in honor of him. :-)

1.Of, pertaining to, marked by, or given to the consumption of alcoholic drink.
2. Readily absorbing fluids or moisture.

Etymology: Bibulous comes from Latin bibulus, from bibere, "to drink."

I solved the dog food situation - they get fed outside!!! I had to - the one dog absolutely refused to eat in the kitchen and insisted on using the dining room carpet. Nope.

As to dishes in the sink - well I really cleaned the kitchen on Friday and am proud to say it is still clean - even after making 10 quarts of applesauce yesterday!!!

I've been known to be a freak about housekeeping; however, Cyber has calmed me down. It just doesn't have to be perfect for him. His mom got laughing when she saw the 1/4 inch brush I was using to paint little areas. LOL! I'm paying for using that brush with the swollen fingers . . .

A date with Dimpled Chad. (Pennington...Go Jets! ; )

I'm looking forward to that game, it's a great chance for the Browns to get back to .500.
