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.

yes i most certainly can. i very nearly stayed home back when Darby was breathing weird after eating that pigs ear. if lucius were sick, i would def be home. as it is, he is sitting in the laundry room in the dark, bc our power went out in the middle of the night last night. I was scrambling for a flashlight and a watch to figure out what time it was, bc i knew the alarm was not going to go off. miraculously, i woke up at the proper time and xsteen and i got out the door in a half hour flat. No hair dryer (i am au naturel today with the hair) and i had to take the makeup with me to put on at work, bc it was still dark when we left.
