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.
Noun
Pronunciation: Thaw/my/turd . Oh, excuse me. Thaw/my/turj.
Etymology: [Greek thaumatourgos : thauma, thaumat-, wonder + ergon, work; see werg- in Indo-European Roots.]
1) A performer of miracles or magic feats.
Thank you, Arghie!!!
Or the ones who make a stupid comment that has nothing to do with the orignal thread...........;^)
hey - who wants to talk about Mary Lou Retton?????????
Haha..........she lives in Houston, maybe I'll see her at the mall......... Ok, now let's talk about firehydrants - Argh, that's your cue
Eggplant?
Ummm, I love eggplant and it is purple! lol
Fried, VERY lightly floured, with lemon. And with cold garlic mashed potatoes. You might also find them useful when the batteries deplete, as apparently happens so often to you.
that stuff happens up here as well, homeschooling is the answer.......
How are you?
I'm hanging in there. I had a rough couple of weeks, but with MUCH thanks to the pragmatism of my dear FRiend XS, I made it through. She gave me a much needed talking to when I started feeling sorry for myself after an outbreak of lice in school landed in my daughter's head and she was home from school for the better part of 2 weeks.
I also got a much needed wake up call when through tear blurred eyes I took the scissors to her "able to sit on" length hair....she took one look at the now above shoulder length of her hair and screamed "Mommy I LOVE IT, please let me keep it like this."
The other day while sitting at the table doing her homework she told me again how much she likes her new hair, and asked me "have you gotten over it?" I realized right then her long hair was me, not her. Much like the stereotype of the father who pushes his son to be the athlete he wasn't, I was doing it to my daughter. My mother kept my hair very short when I was young and all I wanted was long hair. I learned a major lesson here - I was totally deaf to her repeated requests to cut her hair, all I heard were her comments about wanting Rapunzel hair.
so now that I have given you a much longer answer than you could have possibly expected (or want), how are you?
Here's the best idea I've ever seen of Free Republic, but it should be every day. Not suitable for youngsters.
I could hardly comb through her hair........ we only have a few pictures of it, and as always she was smiling, but lately she has begun to question my sanity saying, "Why in the world would you have done that to me KNOWING I already had naturally curly hair?"
I eventually had to cut it all off to get back to something that didn't look like one of the Jackson 5..........
Now that is what we typically describe as "stepping over the line" Arghy........ ;^)
I hear you about the hair; broke my heart the day I realized the daughter was never going to let me french braid her hair again. She had another accident in CA today, can't drive it now. I am having a bad day.
Other then that I have been busy with the squad and enjoying my down time without turning on a computer. They are sending a reporter to do a story on fams in ems today. I think I will wander on down, see if I get my pic in the paper or something.
;)
Oh, sure. YOU saying that??
Cool.
Sorry to hear about the daughter getting in a car wreck. (All three of mine have crashed......)
With the gaining momentum of the knowledge that Hillary's fraudulent campaign financing was undisclosed for the past five years, she is opening the opportunity to get to the bottom of the thaumaturge surrounding her cattle future investment.
Please.
Arghie.
I thought you had more sense than that.
Do NOT tell Whyisa where (nor how often) to put batteries in her fruits...... Or in her vegetables. (Fruits and vegetables are self-powered - and (usually) do not need batteries. (Unless one is powering small hand-held appliances FROM the juice WITHIN a lemon or potatoe.))
(Or, unless one is being inpowered BY a fruit or vegetables ... Butt I dyegrass , ass the homeowner spraying his lawn with green fertilizer mentioned causally in passing.)
It is, however, OK (and perhaps required at times) to remind her where to put her vegetables and fruits...
I think you'll find the third sentence of my post basically did that, Robt. Like she needs any advice...
Ok you two have grossed me out.......lol......... bye!
Oh, pul-leeze!
