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.

Thank you, Arghie!!!
My buddy Howard would tell you that I am, of course, the other end of Mr. Ed.
i know. WE WISH we were specifically sought out for trollage, so we could feel superior and desirable and smug about it. but no, we weren't! /sob
Most definitely.
Singin' hey diddle diddle with your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care......
Nope. I never go to those threads. I'm afraid that my five years in Mexico City would betray my heartfelt admiration for the average Mexican.
And it only took eight days in Cuba, in La Havana and in the back country for me to fall in love with the most beautiful, funny, and bitingly sarcastic Castro commentators in the world. National Healthcare my arse! In both countries people knowingly nod when someone goes into the hospital. It's assumed they will die soon.
I think they should all be LEGAL immigrants, but I don't blame anyone for wanting to be here instead of whatever S.A. hellhole they were unfortunate enough to be born in.
A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks ?" St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock will move."
Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that one ?" "That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she's never told a lie."
"Incredible," said the man, "and whose clock is that one ?" St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that old Abe only told two lies in his entire life."
"Where's Paul Martin's or Jean Chrétien's clock ?" asked the man.
"They're in Jesus' office. He's using them as ceiling fans."
You ain't seen nothin'.............. lol
that is a most excellent pic for that circumstance!
So do I, for the same reasons you do. I would really like to see something done to stem the ILLEGALS but I have nothing against hispanic/spanish speaking. There are large pockets of both Quatamalans and Mexicans here and they are for the most part hard-working, law abiding, productive members of the community.
Unfortunately problems arise during the tomato planting (now) and harvesting seasons - but they occur primarily within the confines of the migrant camps.
My Aunt spent the better part of 25 years living and working in South and Central American countries and I have learned much of the cultures from her.
Beauty!
Cute :)
We haven't had a disruptor in class in AGES!
We don't need one - we've got YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
AHEM...............my huisband and daughter are of French bloodlines.........
Does that mean you're all out of that lovely Arizona beachfront property?
Yes, Miss Slip and Mr. Cyber bought every hectare of it.
