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 was comtemplating giving out halfcooked greasy bacon & scrambled eggs to any of the older kids that showed up on my doorstep lastnight for candy. I really hate it when these teenagers show up with the most lame excuses for costumes just so they can get candy.

the best costume of the night last night was a youngish teen dressed as Kelly Osbourne! xsteen got a huge charge out of that costume, and complimented the trick or treater on it. I am still stuck with a boatload of candy, the doorbell only rang about 8-9 times, we likely had 50 trick or treaters or less. : (

Check out this quote from the article...

The minister said the new Colombian Government was launching a policy called Trees for Drugs, under which poor farmers would be paid to protect the forest instead of growing coca

What is the money for, to help them by bulletproof vests and guns to protect themselves from the FARC Guerillas, that will surely execute anyone that refuses to grow the leaf?

I was out of candy by 7:15 last night while the wife was out taking the girls around the neighborhood. As I was setting the bowl down getting ready to turn the porch light off somemore kids show up.... so I told them they'd have to trick me instead since I was out of candy. They had no idea what I was talking about. Even shutting off your lights don't deter some kids, though... I probably got 3 or 4 more sets ringing the doorbell in the dark.
