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".
prosaic
adj ;pro·sai·cal·ly adv. ; pro·saic·ness n.

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....
wow! what does he listen to? i haven't heard any ads. cool.
WMAL.........I made a point to ask him that....but please don't ask me where it is on the dial, because I have no clue!!!
In her classic prosaic manner, Explorer89 will wear the same ballgown she wore 4 years ago to the PA ball next Thursday evening.
no, i know where it is, it is AM talk radio.
and look absolutely smashing i am sure! A++++
Holey Moley.........4 CBS folks, 3 of who are executives, and of course mary Mapes have just been kicked out over the Rathergate TANG BS!!!!
LOL!!!!
Depending on how to the 2 dresses I brought to the drycleaner on Friday turn out, I may very well be wearing the same gown I wore 4 years ago next week!!!!
so as of this moment, I have no idea what I'm wearing and won't until sometime this Thursday........
we decided against going. i guess i did, xshub was game to go, but to me, it doesn't seem as pressing as it did 4 years ago. and i really wanted to have xskids come along but not for $175 a pop.
OK - I knew it was talk radio, because he's as bad as I am when it comes to that, but wasn't sure if it was AM or FM. I generally listen to an FM talk station out of Ocean City, MD..except for Rush, they don't carry him, they carry the bloviator instead. so if I'm in the car between noon and 3 I listen to a local AM station.
if there is FM talk here, i am not familiar with it, there is WMAL, which is where sean/rush are and i forget the call letters for laura ingraham's station.
Dang...........and I was so looking forward to finally meeting you in person. Santa Claus really came through for me, that was all I wanted for Christmas.
And thanks to our resident plowman...we were able to get a room in Falls Church, so don't even have to think about driving 4 hours back here that night. And we're going to take the long way home, via Richmond on Friday, and most likely will spend Friday in Richmond, with the friends who are taking care of Jax for us.
OOPS........hit post before I finished.
Going this year is actually more pressing for me this year than it was 4 years ago. 4 years ago, I didn't know anyone.....this time around I'm looking forward to meeting so many people I've become friendly with in the ensuing 4 years.
you will be just a few blocks from st james, where xsboy attends. and there is a starbucks right next to you there and i take the kids to the haircuttery there in that same plaza. ole patton has got you in the heart of FC, you will see many earthwatching falls churchers during your stay no doubt!
We just got the phone call, I had to call my husband at work to tell him his dad died this morning. May he RIP.
Prayers for your FIL, ti, and you and your hub also. i am very sorry to hear of his passing.
Oh, Ti, I'm so sorry. May he rest in peace and I will keep you and your husband in my prayers.
Hersismeantwo.
Herisstillignoringmetwo.
starbucks? BLECH........
The way I fugure it, about all I will see of FC is what we see getting to the hotel, the ball and then leaving!!!! I'm actually more interested in seeing Richmond, I've never been there.
oh for Gods sake robt, you sound like GOLLUM! ; )
Isn't that what Angelina Jolie got all in a huff about on the Tomb Raider poster? The producers redacted her nipple from poking thru her body suit.
