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....
seriatim \sir-ee-AY-tim\, adverb, adjective:
1. In a series; one after another.
"Two days from the opening of the impeachment debate, gangs of television crews moved through mostly deserted corridors, doling out their 15 minutes of fame seriatim as individual lawmakers stepped up to batteries of microphones."
--The New York Times, December 16, 1998
Etymology: From Latin series, meaning "row, chain," and is formed on the same model as verbatim ("word for word"), literatim ("letter for letter") and gradatim ("step by step")..

I know that because you are a patriot too.
That's what I'm afraid of when I go to stay with my aunt when my cousins need me. I don't want Shadow to think I have deserted her. She is now use to sleeping in the bathroom and knows what "Time for bed" and "get in your bed" means. I can't wait till she is fully housebroken though. There are several good kennels in the area for when I go to Aiken, but that is only for overnight.
My dogs would not eat, would fake illness, and come home depressed as hell. Going away for two weeks was devastating for them. My cats only get mad and that never lasts long.
