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.
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.
Adj
Pronunciation: Sin/i/ster.

adjective: stemming from evil characteristics or forces; wicked or dishonorable

Yes, but that minister won't have any services this weekend.
(He's viewing a sinposium for nude models at the local art gallery.)
I feel your toast to Slippy's Uranus (as pleasing as they might be) is merely buttering up the Teach for more compliements.
Butt, I will stop lest I be accused of jamming up the progress of this thread about rounded global orbs.
The U.S.S. Gluteus Maximus
Thanks for the clairification : )
Good point : )
Now Joseph Ratzinger has the bully pulpit of the papacy, and it will be impossible to marginalize him as an unthinking dogmatist. He is not that. He is a formidable advocate for his ideas. He argues, for instance, (again in language redolent of Justice Scalia) that the Church's centuries of liturgical tradition were essentially "demolished" in the late 1960s. And he knows why he thinks roll-your-own liturgies were a mistake: "When liturgy is self-made, then it can no longer give us what its proper gift should be: the encounter with the mystery that is not our own product but rather our origin and the source of our life." Disagree if you will, but this is more than simply, "No."
I just bought it recently and was going to start it soon, thanks Loney!
Ahhhhhh to be six again!
A man asked his wife what she'd like for her
birthday. "I'd love to be six again," she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright
and early and off they went to a local theme park.
What a day! He put her on every ride in the park:
the Death Slide the Screaming Loop, the Wall of
Fear, everything there was! Wow!
Five hours later she staggered out of the theme
park, her head reeling and her stomach upside down.
Right to a McDonald's they went, where her husband
ordered her a Big Mac along with extra fries and a
refreshing chocolate shake.
Then it was off to a movie -- the latest epic, and
hot dogs, popcorn, Pepsi Cola and M Ms.
What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed.
He leaned over and lovingly asked,
"Well, dear, what was it like being six again?"
One eye opened. "You idiot, I meant my dress size!"
The moral of this story: Even when a man is
listening, he's still gonna get it wrong.
That is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*SIGH* I haven't been a size 6 since I was about 6...........
obviously everyone and his brother is having his toes done this weekend bc it is finally getting summery out (all except OH, bc my SIL reports they have SNOW forecast this weekend, is that sick or what?) My regular salon is booked and they had to refer me to another one of their branches. sandal wearing weather demands decent toe-care!
I've been wearing sandals all year....... foot/toe care is a must here in Swelterland
Yep, my little piggies need treatment. Right now it it is pouring rain, and is supposed to all day. Then it will be much cooler over the weekend. Not very springlike at all.
:^)
it stopped raining but is only 52 out. i planted a few things in the ground that i bought earlier in the week, that were sitting out on the table on the deck.my poor neighbor's little girl's first communion is this Sunday and it is predicted to be a high of 55 and rainy. she had all kinds of landscaping stuff down out back for the party and now it will have to be indoors : (
