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....

Final Exam

As promised, today we will be having the final exam of the semester. Below I have linked 40 past WFTD’s. The exam is simple. You must use 5 of the words, in however many sentences you like, that somehow relate to the news. The minimum is 5, and for using the minimum, you will get an “average” grade of a C. Use more, your grade goes up. Use less, it goes down. Fail to turn in your exam, and I will submit your name to Principal Rob for a “counseling” session.

Here we go:
1. farrago
2. abditive
3. indolent
4. froward
5. ken
6. risible

How Cool!

[xsmommy]

wow you live in the city, tiger. last night xsteen and i went to the gym at the rec center in Oakton. there were 4 deer coming out of the woods into the parking lot as we were leaving. xspup was with us in the car, he was totally oblivious to what they were, had they been squirrels, he would have gone nuts.

[xsmommy]

i'm J because i can't find my house on there, since it is only 4 years old : (

[hobbes1]

[hobbes1]

12 miles from Manhattan.

[xsmommy]

how did you find my house?????

[hobbes1]

I asked for it.

[xsmommy]

so. i live less than that from Washington, DC= center of the universe.

[hobbes1]

No Dc thinks its the Center of the Universe, but the Greatest City in the World, is the Home of the NYJets...

[hobbes1]

Washington, DC= Countryfolk.

[xsmommy]

there are more trees in my pic than in your's.

[Argh]

Sorry, xs, New York is the greatest city in the world.

[xsmommy]

heck there are more trees in my pic than in CJ's, and he lives at the end of the earth!

[xsmommy]

it is so cool to see it from up there. i see the jack@$$ treehugger's house right behind mine, and the neighbor who xspup likes to give the wakeup call to at 5am on the other side.

[CholeraJoe]

I didn't even bother because the list showed the most recent as 1988. Looks like a vacant lot to me.

[xsmommy]

you know you are right, i was looking at it wrong. it is where the trees are in the middle at the end of the culdesac. i looked where he had the red dot and because we are 2d into the row of 4 houses there now, i thought that was it, but actually that is down the street from me. we are in what was a farm prior to 4 years ago.

[hobbes1]

Heck, there are more trees in my pic than cjs, lol....

[hobbes1]

IT gave me a 1998 date...

[hobbes1]

Nope. You were right...1988..lol

[xsmommy]

close enough. that is my street. it just ended where the farm was. the treehuggers house is in that same thicket of trees.
