adj : intrusive in a meddling or offensive manner; "an interfering old woman"; "bustling about self-importantly making an officious nuisance of himself"; "busy about other people's business" [syn: interfering, meddlesome, meddling, busy, busybodied] Marked by excessive eagerness in offering unwanted services or advice to others: an officious host; officious attention.

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....
did you check amazon.com for a book?
Yes, I've found several I can order. Of course if Granny was still alive, I could just call her. Orchids were one of the many things she collected.
yes i am lamenting myself the lack of institutional knowledge that my deceased relatives had.
High school was a long time ago. Thankfully. ;)
Since the Titans have excluded themselves from playoffs by their abysmal play and score of injuries, I am throwing my support to the Pack.
Six to eight hours of indirect light and put the pot on pebbles in a tray of water. Change out the soil once a year and repot to a larger pot using Ron's mix(looks like mostly bark bits). I keep mine blooming most of the year this way. I love orchids.
Since the Browns have excluded themselves by abysmal play, a record number of injuries, and coaching that has gone from bad to absent, I am throwing my support to Carolina. Go Cats.
I believed Mike Myers when he said most Scottish food was invented on a dare.
Who is their head coach and which QB this year? I think Michael Vick has some work to do yet and I have family on Atlanta's team so I may root for several.
Never mind I found them - Fox and the French guy.
Thanks for the info..What temp is best?
I believe I rooted for the Packers last year but they always let me down and cause me to lose $$$
Since the J.E.T.S. jetsjetsjets haven't managed to eliminate themselves by virtue of recent abysmal play, and a QB that wont admit that a rotator cuff injury is sapping what little arm he had (and I know he's lying bc I suffer the same injury...)....
I will throw my support on the mercy of the football gods for now.
Yikes, a few of those pirateers have prominent ribbage.
but we can still dance can't we? GET INTO THE GROOVE, BOY, YOU"ve GOT TO PROVE YOUR LOVE TO ME.... ; )
you back?
68-80, just the way most people like it. They also like misting now and then. Again, like people... ;)
I will admit I am not a fan of the xylophone look. But there are plenty others to pick from. AND THEY ARE ALL PIRATE BABES!!!!!!!!!!
yeah - you front?
