B>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....

Thanks for the advice. Unfortubately it didn't work. But I recreated the spreadsheet and printed out before I saved it. Saving always crashed my pc. Time to buy more memory.

I don't mind you crushing my toes with a sledge hammer, just as long as you please please oh please don't force me to watch the Victoria's Secret show tonight...

(I have no intention of watching it. After a few days of housesitting I intend to be on my couch listening to Brahms consuming mass quantities of beer this evening...)

Enjoy you stretch with Brahms, but not to the point of bloat!

I must demand a grade for my WFTD submission @ #17.
I had to type it with one hand while I fended off numerous hormonally overcharged HS students with the other hand this morning.
