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....

Gone, except for the laundry room.

Our toilet is now in the bathtub. If Maxie or Grimmy say anything, I'll shoot them! Master bath should be done today. It is looking good.

One toilet ring now in place. They said they would have done that, anyway.

Two Republicans working here, maybe three.

The boss is here, and he wanted to get the Master bath finished first. I do believe he is right.

Never thought of that!

What about the hole, though, Grimmy? There's a hole in the floor for a reason, I think. LOL!

Yes, they should put some sort of cover over it... usually a piece of scrap plywood with a brick to hold it down.

My sister is married to an Indian from India. She's been to India now three times. She calls crying every time. His parents built her a "modern" bathroom with toilet.

The crying is usually over the goats that have their throats slit. She can see them from her balcony. She only eats rice and veges when she's there.
