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.

Miss Slippy, you might want to get xs's input here. A nice lowcut tanktop could be the way to go.
Hey, Free Republic and WFTD are more addictive than either of those.
Some very appropriate words for the day--
PEACE WITH GOD

Isaiah 57:14-21 (NRSV)
It shall be said,
"Build up, build up, prepare the way,
remove every obstruction from my people's way."
For thus says the high and lofty one
who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also with those who are contrite and humble in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
For I will not continually accuse,
nor will I always be angry;
for then the spirits would grow faint before me,
even the souls that I have made.
Because of their wicked covetousness I was angry;
I struck them, I hid and was angry;
but they kept turning back to their own ways.
I have seen their ways, but I will heal them;
I will lead them and repay them with comfort,
creating for their mourners the fruit of the lips.
Peace, peace, to the far and the near, says the LORD;
and I will heal them.
But the wicked are like the tossing sea
that cannot keep still;
its waters toss up mire and mud.
There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.
I love to play games online - but I go crazy if the sound goes out......there are only certain games I play and the sounds are how I determine if I'm running out of time, etc.

The seminal ability of the people who visit you WFTD threads is amazing.
or
I had my seminal abilities removed by Dr. Kutcherballzoff a few years back.
Subbie has to go into the Reflection Room. It's down the hall to the left, if anyone wants to go there.
May the Schindlers and friends find some peace in this awful, heart-wrenching time.
Thanks, Dutch.

I'm off to pray a bit. God bless you Slip.
Yes? Waiting for the engineers here....
Not as bad for you though.
Sorry you're having to wait for the engineers.
Sooner they get here, sooner I get done.
I wish I weren't so shaken up over Terri dying, but I am. Always thought that just one appeal around the corner would save her life. Just dang.
A++++ for you.
Great photo, Vastie!
Just because something is inevitable doesn’t mean it won’t hurt as hard when it actually hits. And like you, I didn’t really think it was inevitable anyway – I expected the cavalry too.
