Word For The Day, Day, Date
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 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....
That's a screaming riot.
the scary thing is........there are people who will actually believe it.
Let him, and his family, know we're thinking of you up there.
When I saw that story, you came to mind.
: P
xshub got a brand new Jag back in Dec. i haven't been behind the wheel, i haven't backed into it. i am improved : )
ROFLMPJO!!!!!!!!!!
I seriously doubt we would be seeing you in the classroom if you do back into it!!!
the sonar on the van is a godsend for me. if anyone so much as even walks close to the bumpers it beeps. it helps me park in tight spaces etc. i never thought it could be so helpful. it might have prevented me backing into him the last time, had i had it then!
Yes, but have you broken in the back seat yet?
A+++ dang Armstrong for his foolishness giving those losers grist for the mill!
; )
Laura Earl is an excellent driver.
Give it time.
i don't intend to get anywhere near driving it. as long as he keeps it on his own side of the garage and not behind me, we should be fine.
LOL!!!!
My van had a digital compass above the rearview mirror that saved my bacon on numerous occassions. Hubby's new truck has no such gizmo.....if it had, we wouldn't have gotten lost one night the week before Christmas. Thank goodness the Escort I inheritted from him has one. I'd be constantly getting lost with out it. I kid you not.
Years ago in a life far far away, I took a day off to get over a bad cold. My exwife was working that day. She disturbed my sleeping in by backing her car into my truck in the driveway really hard. The collision woke me up! Her logic, "You are usually gone when I leave." My reply, "Please look out for normally green traffic lights and parked cars on the way to work!"
I'm sorry, ti. I hope his passing over was a peaceful journey for him.
I like this word. I'm off in search of homework that I probably won't turn in until tonight. I've had 9 hours of sleep this weekend due to work and plan to grab a nap. zzzzzz...
