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....

i both recognized the theft of A&C, and liked it at the same time, mayhaps I'm an accessory?

Yes, I can see your halo. It's held up very nicely by your horns.

An accessory hmmmm? A scarf around the neck, a broach, a nice little handbag? Nah, camle, I think if you ain't the main thing you ain't even going to try. I have noticed how your coruscating personality is always so brilliant around here.

You too?

:^)

That's the first time anyone's ever said I inspired them to write poetry, but I must say I have no idea what I did to inspire your nice poem. I see our "old" teacher is accusing me of having got you drunk. Huh. Shows what SHE knows. If I'd gotten you drunk it wouldn't be so you could write pomes...

I haven't put the new Baby up on the homepage yet. She's 6ish months old, teething (she's eating my coffee table). Lab/Chow mix. As soon as I find another hosting agent for photos (or get roadrunner to play nice) I will get her pic up for everyone to see.
