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.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

PRESAL

There is nothing wrong with not being a good judge. It just requires you to be more cautious.

Oh it was a job in Argh's past......he prefers not to discuss it......... in fact he might be barred legally from discussing it..........not sure what the terms of probation were exactly.

Chris called me after. She added "I see that you are due back for a follow up would you like me to reschedule that?" She is as evil as me.

The terms of probation were to stay away from evil influences like you.

I am a shoveling fool today, how much snow did you all get?

About 3 flakes about 1 this afternoon. All we've had was rain.

I'm so glad you were able to finally get rid of that person-that is wonderful. Once my curiosity about a new hire in my department at a company I worked for uncovered some very strange and alarming things. I went snooping further, and found that they were indeed true. I went to my supervisor, who was the owner of the company and told him that not only was this person not what she claimed to be professionally, she wasn't even WHO she claimed, had two other alaises besides the one she was currently using and had a felony theft warrant from a company she had worked for in another state. He didn't believe me, was completely charmed by her and asked me to get along with her and not listen to gossip. I found another job within the month and left there in disgust after having worked there for nearly 8 years. Less than a year later, this imposter had brought the company to the edge of bankruptcy, the owner was sued for non-payment of payroll taxes and false representation of that woman's credentials to clients. The con artist/imposter hit the road and disappeared and the company went under-I still howl with glee every time I think about it 10 years later-enjoy your shadenfreude...

Lordy, you have to wonder how places stay in business if people are tipped off to shadiness and stick with the accused shady character. i know if someone tipped off xshub to a bad'un, he might not fire them on the spot, but he would definitely have them under a microscope and be looking for a false move thereafter.

The first picture just slew me. As I was saying to Miss Hair just now, you think I'd be old enough by now not to fall in love with a damn picture, wouldn't you?

yes, it is i think one of the best pix of her i have ever seen. a totally different look for her, and a very flattering one.

arghy when you stop falling in love, they might as well bury you!

Any sensible person would watch someone who had even the suspicion of shady dealings, but this guy would frequently miss the perfectly obvious-I suspect that he did too many drugs in his Wonder Bread years...
