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....
plaudit \PLAW-dit\,noun:
plaudits; noun, plural
1. A round or demonstration of applause.
2. Enthusiastic approval; an expression of praise.
The aim of the wise man was no longer the plaudits of the masses but autarkeia, or self-sufficiency.
--Peter France, Hermits: The Insights of Solitude
Etymology: Latin plaudite, "applaud" (said by players at the end of a performance), from plaudere, "to applaud."
You gotta heap big grin outta me for throwing the name of my hang out in the room!!

you didn't know that we have a separate thread with a webcam cued on Mugs Bunny where we all get together and observe you in action...?
Mugs' security cam has caught it's share of wacky hi jinx - luckily none of it mine.

It's a good one.

One of my favorite stupid crook stories: We owned a company that installed burgular alarm systems in businesses. A pawn shop was broken into and my husband went to reset the system and add some motion detectors for inside. The crook had come in through someplace in the ceiling and his wallet had dropped out! His drivers license with name and address was right there left as a calling card! lol
Bye! Have a good day! :^D

offer extends to you ladies as well! i could make a killing on FR alone! : )
Shouldn't the commander-in-chief inspire his troops? Kerry could damage morale so badly, we'd almost need to ask for help from the UN to do anything. Or is that his plan?
Mine is just an amateur bono. Will you still take it?
for you, truthy? sure. : )
I saw your link and almost knocked over my Dr. Pepper! lol - I can imagine some men on here thinking they couldn't even remember the last time their wives said yes..........lol
i am LMAO at that thread, i could have as much cash as JOHN EDWARDS!
there was a potential troll on there that caused the thread to be pulled.
Yea I just saw that - I didn't see your comment to me though
the troll was saying that the men complaining were being sexist. i said that it was not remotely sexist and that unfortunately a great number of women use sex as a weapon in their marriages. i pinged you bc you and i have discussed it before. and her response to me was did i have data to back it up or was i GOING BY MY OWN EXPERIENCE... (as IF!) i said she obviously had not been around FR very long. clearly, with todays BORN ON Date, she had to have been a troll.
