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....
chimerical\ky-MER-ih-kuhl; -MIR-; kih-\, adjective:
1. Merely imaginary; produced by or as if by a wildly fanciful imagination; fantastic; improbable or unrealistic.
2. Given to or indulging in unrealistic fantasies or fantastic schemes.
Her name is Dulcinea; her country El Toboso, a village in La Mancha; her degree at least that of Princess, for she is my Queen and mistress; her beauty superhuman, for in her are realized all the impossible and chimerical attributes of beauty which poets give to their ladies. --Miguel De Cervantes, Don Quixote. Etymology: Chimerical is ultimately derived from Greek khimaira, "she-goat" or "chimera," which in Greek mythology was a monster having the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon.

R. Kelly's chimerical attachment to nubile young thangs has in no way impeded his career. For the record, Grimmy, i do not care for R.Kelly and have never bought any of his cd's....

M & M, just checked and it has warmed up to a blazing 4 degress below zero as we speak.You know, EOD, that's why I moved from the northern climes. It's just to damn cold and my love affair with snow and winter was a chimerical thing!
To: xsmommy
LOL!!!
A friend of mine just called - he's been excused from jury duty for the day and wants to go get a beer. I told him I would join him.
Talk to you all later.
(Virginia and Larry - I know you're both reading this - yup I'm going to have a drink with a man that is not my husband - he's also a non-smoker, but we're going to Maryland. Not all non-smokers are as anal about it as you two are. We'll leave the non-smoking Delaware bars to you antis that don't even bother going out and go somewhere that smokers are welcome.)
