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.

One pair of matching bookends, different as night and day...
i loved that show. xsSIL and i were just discussing it bc xsteen is so similar to Bethany in outlook and personality and xsSIL started singing that song!
"Low and lazy, middle and hazy, high and CR-AZY!"
Must be the incense. ;)
Stringbean is one of the nicer insults I have been called since I was about 15.........
At the church in Kerrville I like to go to, high mass is still celebrated at Christmas and Easter and all three candles are lighted, but I haven't seen that in SA in years except for one church that is attended by mostly people of Mexican ancestry because it still keeps many of the old traditions and mass is celebrated in latin every other Sunday-unfortunately, it is over 40 miles away since we've moved up here, too far to go on a regular basis. In two years of attending mass at 6 different Catholic churches within 30 miles of here I have yet to hear a latin mass, or to see high mass celebrated on a regular basis like it was when I was a kid. I also think the priests are no longer taught latin...
Thanks for the article-Kristol annoys me sometimes, but this is good.
By the way, your psycho orange cat theory seems to have been proven at my house-when I had the refugee kittens in the pet carrier in the kitchen last evening while I fixed dinner, Husky girl was howling at them and scratching at the carrier. The two female gray/brown tabby kittens retreated into a corner of the carrier and hissed at her, but the little male orange tabby kitten toddled up to the closed door and started snarling at the dog, ears back and showing teeth-he even swatted at her-and he is all of 3 1/2 weeks old and weighs as much as a can of cat food. He has to be a budding psycho to want to take on a dog that weighs over 60 pounds...
Huskies have been known to "love" cats to death.......... that little playful shake you know..........
That is why we adopted an adult cat-Husky girl was raised from puppyhood with a cat-but he was a 20 pound Persian who didn't take any crap from dogs. I've always been told that Huskies and Malamutes are kitten killers in particular because they are still wolflike enough to have strong hunting instincts-they think kittens are rodents, a favorite food. I probably saved these babies from being coyote take-out, too-the back gate of that house we're selling opens onto the hiking paths to the creek in a wilderness park where there are plenty of coyotes living on the caves along the creek.
I think Huskies are very playful and don't realize their own strength, but you are probably closer to the truth in the old hunting instinct idea......lol
Thursday morning, I dropped off my neighbor's teenaged son to do some tree and bush trimming at the house in SA we are selling while I went to work-he found the little creatures under a bush in the back yard.
Husky girl is so playful that she jumps up and plays with Kitty boy any time he lets her know he wants to play by batting one of the balls in front of her or attacking her tail-then they proceed to take turns chasing one another all over the house. She has never even tried to be rough with him, probably because she remembers what an adult cat's claws can do from getting her nose swatted a few times by our old persian when she was a puppy...
Not a prob. I'm awaiting CG's return with 1) hot tub chemicals and 2) his mother. I just hope that incongruous combo doesn't cause the yellow lezbeene ranger to explode. And for you sick-minded folks...mom is NOT getting into the hot tub!!!!! Hot tubbage will be after she is back home.
Oooohhhh...I don't know that song!!! Thank goodness...I'm still recovering from the Judy in Disguise earworm I've suffered from all week. Kinda got a Take me to the candyshop one now, much to CG's chagrin. :)
I don't know that song either, but I've had a "Fishing in the Dark" earworm ever since I heard the song on the radio in the kitchen while I was fixing lunch.
it is the theme song to the old Patty Duke show!
Oh, okay-I hardly ever watched that show-there must have been something on another channel that I liked better.
Never watched. CG is taking MIL home now...life is returning to normal! :D
