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. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

acclivities; noun, plural

It prompted the matron to say that she would walk a little way--as far as to the point where the acclivity from the valley began its first steep ascent to the outer world.

Etymology: Latin acclivites, from acclivis, uphill: ad-, ad- + clivus, slope; see klei- in Indo-European Roots.]
Well, at least we now know how to secure a guaranteed "score" with XS.... just pop in a Zell video and let nature take its course. :-o

I am going on the record here, saying I am glad I turned to MSN last night to watch FPL's show. It was a blast!
Bring tissues.
I'll probably need them for the drive up..this if the first time we've boarded LulaBelle.

Freudian slip LE???
Alan Keyes is outspoken and is not PC and tweeks the noses of the media and those in leadership therefore he finds himself in race battling acclivity produced by those who can not see or hear or report the truth without making fun of Mr. Keyes.
At the risk of being non-PC I suggest that if you lived 2000 years ago in Palestine you would have seen the same thing. Those who hate Alan Keyes hated Jesus, think about it, it is called the truth.
Give them Zell! Give them Zell! Give them Zell! Give them Zell!
Me too! Zell was ripping FPL a new one. It was freakin awesome.
