[Bella_Bru]

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
7. hariolate
8. anhedonia

[Argh]

This is the end of the earth. It's certainly the end of mainland Canada as you head west. Point Roberts, Washington is so unimportant you can't get the whole thing. I live 12 blocks north of the line across the top of the tiny picture. I think. (Snort!)

[hobbes1]

i live in the trees.

First generation to walk on the ground? LOL

J/K!!!!

[CholeraJoe]

All the trees ended up under water when they dammed the river back in the 30's. There are trees up behind my place at higher elevations

[xsmommy]

Gosh arhgy, i know i need bifocals, but sheesh!

[xsmommy]

[CholeraJoe]

Kazinski lived in Lincoln, about 60 miles away. There are plenty of trees there.

[xsmommy]

[Argh]

Here's a better picture. I'm still 12 blocks north of the line across the top, just left of centre of the picture. The big thing that looks like a button at the bottom is a huge biker bar in Point Roberts.

[xsmommy]

what the heck kind of biker bar is that big?? yikes!

[hobbes1]

The Kind you Like Obviously...lol

[TheGrimReaper]

[hobbes1]

[Eala]

Washington, DC= center of the universe.

Hm. Out our way, it's "the OTHER Washington."
