p>Word For The Day, Thursday, Sept. 2,2004
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".
AVUNCULAR
1.(-vngky-lr) adj. Of or having to do with an uncle. Regarded as characteristic of an uncle, especially in benevolence or tolerance
duty.
*vun"cu*lar\, a. [L. avunculus uncle.] Of or pertaining to an uncle.
In these rare instances, the law of pedigree, whether direct or avuncular, gives way. --I. Taylor.
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
nope, didn't have it planned, that is EXACTLY where i got it right before i posted the thread. you found me out!
Now if Bush will just send him to S. Dakota to stump for Thune my life would be almost be complete today.....
keep Daschle away from bribing the dang indians on 11/2 and you may get a win there!
I hear that Thune is ahead there. If everyone who votes for Bush votes for Thune it would be a landslide.
Last time Thune ran, Daschle and Co. tried to dig up the vote and Thune lost by what? just over a hundred votes I think. If we can send Zell then those dyed in the wool democrats just might be able to justify their jump over the fence for Bush. I'll take it any way I can get it!
Anyway, Many posters hear say Daschle is toast. If he loses we sure are going to miss those pictures of him standing on a Crate (sarcasm).
Oh PLEEEAAAASSSE say it's so!
Cyber and I remember both the cardiolgist and neurologist saying, "There's something wrong."
Two MRIs.
Tests up the ying-yang.
Told to stay in bed except when necessary.
Two months of hell.
DIAGNOSIS: Low blood pressure.
Need any prescription drugs? I'm flushing them.
After seeing the cardiologist yesterday, we got smashed. Thank you ever so much. That was our summer.
Still getting over the tiredness from being in bed all those months. I got the okay to work out again, but it will take me about a week to get the leg and arm muscles working. Some atrophy has set in. Shouldn't be that hard, though. I get pi$$ed off pretty easily when things like this have happened.
Gotta get some housework done. Poor Cyber has been doing 90 percent of it for waaaaaay too long.
*snicker* Sort of like pinky fingers, eh?
It's too early to do Sente race predicitons but back in 2002 I was perfect except for Colorado (Zogby tricked me) and I abstained from picking in SD as it would be too close to call which it was.
I could see Zell campaigning in SD he really does loathe Daschle.
This is how I hope to see Daschle soon!
Daschle is toast. Deeply saddened toast. Inhofe was saying he had spent $9 million dollars on his campaign to be re-elected , then said how can you even do that in South Dakota? Notice how he has completely disappeared from public view the past six months? The media smells blood in the water.
couldn't happen to a shorter or more deserving guy : )
Sounds like a thread for the Just EEEWWW crowd.
well i figured slippy should know about it as a miracle cure, as she has been ailing of late... ; )
So Daschle is toast. Kerry is French toast. And Bob Byrd brings home the bacon. They sound like breakfast.
Let's just break that name down a bit. "Rat Tree Cheap You Dumb Wit." That's kind of like, "Would you like to buy the Booklyn Bridge," I think.
At the IHOP, no less. ;)
