Word For the Day

felicitate verb
Pronunciation: 'fi-lis-a-tate

Latin felicitatus Date: 1605

1. : to make happy


felicitious: adjective, very well suited or expressed

felicity: noun;  the quality or state of being happy

felicific: adjective; causing or intending to cause happiness


Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD:

 

The Democrat fiasco in Minnesota at the Wellstone Memorial has been dissected and commented upon ad infinitum by various and sundry pundits and talking heads, but one of the most touching and felicitous is the piece today by Peggy Noonan. As is her wont, she takes it to the deep gut, personal level, a level upon which all can relate. Here she writes in the voice of Paul Wellstone, from the great beyond.

Let me tell you, when I watched the memorial and how you acted, I wasn't alone. Jack Kennedy was here, and you're not going to like this, but he said what he said the day Nixon had his meltdown in '62. He looked at you and said, "No class."

John Adams is here too. He turned away from you in disgust. "Faction!" is what he said. It was no compliment .

"I had a dentist tell me, "Hang on. This is going to hurt."

I think I would have said, "Hang on Doc, I'm leavin'".

I should have mentioned that Cujo was a biter before the diabetes set in. Rotten little animal it was. When he finally croaked, my sis was quite upset. She loved him so. The rest of the family was cheering: "That little s$!t is dead! Whoopieee!" Of course, my sister didn't hear us.

Absolutely nothing, forget I even mentioned it...

Oh, sure, some crude person might say "Well, given her looks, that's appropriate", but not me, no siree Bob, not on your life would I mention such a heinous thing...

My grandmother had a little dog like that. Had the personality of a rattlesnake (the dog, I mean) and bit my grandmother countless times. My grandfather hated that dog.

I remember getting a toy gun that shot small plastic bullets and my grandfather asked if he could see it. He emptied the entire cylinder of bullets at the dog. The bullets didn't have the velocity to do anything but annoy the dog, but you should have seen the smile on my grandfather's face while he was doing it. Priceless!

That is awful!

I'm not big on candy nor sweets. The Scotch gives me enough sugar!

Cyber has a sweet tooth at night, or course, he doesn't even imbibe at all any longer. I think I may have ruined the flamer in him . . .
