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....

i am pretty decisive, i know what i like, but i don't try anything on in the store, so i am always having to return/exchange etc. for size or if it just looks hideous on. i hate shopping on weekends because it is too crowded. not a soul in there today. it was perfect.

You sound as if you shop the way I do. Go March in and get the dress kilt and accessories, then you're out of there.

LOL! But you know, there is a kilt store here in Seattle. (Went to look at the Tuxedo kilt -- O Dhia, that's more expensive than the real tartan MacKay!! Now why wouldn't they recommend bungee-jumping in one... *\:-)

I can't really tell, chickie... I know how I feel, yers truly will be voting AGAINST any tax increase. Hell, cut the arts budget. Cut the park bathroom budget. There's plenty o' fluff cash already. I am a strict anti-tax Republican.

I've talked to some other folks about this-- greenie folks that are concerned about the effect that highway construction has on the deer habitat and whatnot-- some conservatives whose opinions I hold alot higher than those of rapid treehuggers who told me they'll be cussin' me out when they're stuck on I-64 in rush hour traffic... So it seems like a mixed bag-- probably be a close one...

i am afraid the No.VA contingent will be suckered into thinking it will help with traffic congestion, which is just a load of crap. But even the RINOs up here like Tom Davis, and John Warner are for it. ON the bright side, i have received several calls advocating against it, and there was someone at the grocery store with literature against it also. i want it dead.

I love the beer gut cut, too. I was laughing out loud! Never heard of that before.

Side o'Beef just threw up. Simba won't move off my bed. And Box o'Rocks has taken advantage of the front door being open three times, and has just strolled out for a walk by himself.

Tell me this will be over soon!

I forgot, I'm supposed to be taking photos of this whole thing.
