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....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Haven’t checked my mood ring yet. Y’all behave yourselves, ya hear? Principal JimRob is still out of town. I expect the utmost respect on this thread today. The Mods have been overworked lately.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.
If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.
I absolutely REFUSE to get into a discussion today about horses or ponies.
If I get in a good one, I'll call my invisible friends to help.
Or Maybe he can cook it hisself....
She's ignoring us.
I loved those horses. I was about the only one who could climb over the fence to feed them when my neighbors went on vacation.
She also had a pig name Piggy Sue. Piggy Sue was a biiatch if there ever was one. Very smart pig, but she actually bit me. I smacked her.
The day before my neighbors got home from vaca, one of their living room sofas had been rooted. All the fabric on the bottom of the sofa had been eaten by Piggy Sue.
I didn't know what to do. So I just moved one sofa to the other side of the living room so when her hubby came in, it wasn't the first thing he saw. I thought Piggy Sue was going to be barbecued that evening.
Okay.
LOL....Bet it is Popsicles for dessert this time ; )
There is an mpg where you pick a card and Garfield tells you which card by removing it. I have watched idiots do this for hours totally amazed that he was right every time.
I explain to them that I learned this card trick in 3rd grade. You show the person 5 face cards. Tell them to pick one in their head and concentrate on it. Then you say I have removed your card and show them 4 similar face cards. No matter which card the person picked it is no longer showing. The reason this works is because the person has focused on their card rather than all five. The first time someone tried it on me in 3rd or 4th grade, I caught it because I remembered all five cards.
Subbie's knee needs to be iced.
There are paint ball guns in the back of the room and actual paint balls. I don't want anyone's eyes put out, so wear the special glasses back there. If anyone has "special" clothing on, put on the overhauls back there.
Be good!
Piggy Sue is a great name!!!!
Cute story...............Piggy Sue......ROFL!!!!!!!!
The hubby wanted to name her "Carnitas."
i have decided on hamburgers and hotdogs in order to stay sane. i had something more complicated in mind, but this is the guy who ordered 25 boxes of GS cookies from xsbrownie, he is single, he will be happy to have anything i make.

makes perfect sense to me.
Which reminds me - I need to pull pork chops out of the freezer.
Her music is pretty good.
the best kid party we ever did for our boys was the water gun, water balloon fight one. We were soaked, but all was fun. The kids talked about it for years. We never told them, just snuck up on them and attacked. Then we headed inside and locked them out till they exhausted themselves.....what fun.
