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....

ROFL !!!

For I know I'll never find another Ewe ! ...

[Gabz]

Nothing posted yet about any school closings.

I just looked at the updated list - what was being shown during the news earlier were the closings from today - not for tomorrow.

to be on the safe side, everything is ready for her going to school tomorrow ---- which I so very much want!!!!!

[MeekOneGOP]

BAD finger !!!

What IS that line ...

[RikaStrom]

Hey Sis,

Long time no type!

Is all well in your world?

[Gabz]

If you took Route 13 in September, you passed 2 miles from my house shortly after you crossed the Maryland line!!!

This entire area has been swampland since September. There has been so much rain the ground can't absorb any more. I was actually glad it snowed last night instead of rain, at least the cold gives it more of an opportunity for the ground to absorb and prevent any more of the major flooding we've been having.

Here's a groaner Robt. and Max have probably heard a zillion times: Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive..."

AAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

[Neets]

Hi SIS!!!!

All is well here.

I saw the pics from CPAC!! Looks like you had a great time.

I LOVE the NEW DO!!!!!!

[Neets]

The next time I venture down that way, I'll let you know ahead of time.

That's usually about the time I am ready for a short stop and a refresh on my coffee!!

I have been reading about your flooding/mold woes..and don't envy you.

[CholeraJoe]

Hello Doctor Max. Great to see you!

[Neets]

Where on earth HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING?

[maxwell]

Hey doc! How's the butt business?

[maxwell]

Hey chick, I am out in the wild wild west doing great science and eating way too much burritos and green chili. How goes it on the east coast? Cold, eh?

[Gabz]

I will refrain from comment..........although I do like the shoes.

[Gabz]

Night, Neets!

[CholeraJoe]

It's alot BEHIND. I need to get AHEAD.

[Neets]

Almost as cold as New Yawwwwks' Biggest B!+@#'s stare.

[RikaStrom]

All is well here too. I'll send you a FReep Mail and get you caught up with what's happening.

CPAC was a blast... I am still recovering. It was go go go, for three days straight. I think I am dead, but the body hasn't keeled over yet.

Thanks! I'm liking it. It keeps getting shorter every time I go in. LOL

[Neets]

I'll send you a FReep Mail and get you caught up with what's happening.

Please do. It's been a while since we've updated each other.

[Gabz]

The pic of you, me and Rika makes me look like I'm pregnant.....

I'll get my pix downloaded and uploaded tomorrow - at least the ones on the digital, the regular ones will have to wait till the weekend.
