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....

Gradebook missing? Oh, our regular teacher just gives us all an "A" when that happens. Thought you'd want to know.
i was postulating mere online cuddling, gabz... ; )
yeah yeah yeah, i heard that trick before missy! ; )
Aaahhhhhhh......Friday........
It could be a LACHRYMOSical kind of day.
Prayers for the Pope.
You may not be forgetting us - but you are making me curious what the common thread is that made you think of us together
Here is a thread that will keep us from being too lachrymose over the events of this week.
Hey, there are only so many non-Terry, non-Pope, threads to chose from.... Coincidence happens
uh-oh. that was for "Flaming Mice"
[Matthews:] The American people believe that there's been a lot of politics in this, and they don't really have confidence in any of the parties here. There's nobody here who looks particularly compelling or attractive. The husband doesn't know how to present himself at all, his brother's okay. The parents... the father seems to be having, I hate to say this, a good time. I don't know why, maybe it's the focus, maybe he's giddy with sadness of the tragedy that has been going on for so long.
I'm here-
I hope a suit for wrongful death
Brings Michael Shiavo low
His spurious lachrymosity
Is so obviously just a show
His crocodile tears and statements-
His self righteous attitude
Are just a thin veneer to hide
A person who is cruel and crude
One who has an unwanted wife
And so has her starved till dead
I hope the next one can tiptoe around
And manage to keep her head
Guess it's still too early for me!!!
Hubby had told me when he got back from the lumber yard.
I just news would spread that fast in this county about things like the shooting at the Tyson Poultry plant last week. There is still a dearth of information avaiable on that topic.
i knew you wrote like a fruit...
For a better pick-me-up, it's best to refrain from lachrymose and other artificial sweeteners in the morning coffee...
thank you miss annie! A++++ we do need a tiramisu at the end of a week like this.
