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....
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.

The trip was great. We held Vacation Bible Schools for somewhere upwards of 300 children at twelve churches (6 in Texas and 6 in Mexico), plus we did construction projects for 4 churches -- 2 in Texas and 2 in Mexico. Our construction groups finished out a parsonage at one church, built a wheelchair ramp at one church, and did some pretty extensive drywall and painting work at a couple of the sites. It was very exciting to see our kids working so hard and pouring their lives into the lives of the children in these communities.
A++++ for you, Jack!
That's the same as we did. Everything is in Ks. The metric system is beyond me.
Congratulations to you on your immense accomplishments, Vastie. I'm proud of you!
I'm lost with it too!
True, true, he admitted ruefully.
The regional supermarket, neighborhood grocery store, nearest drugstore, and even the corner service station were all out of toilet paper after Johnny Carson made fun of the Jimmy Carter's toilet paper crisis.
Seems there wasn't a Charmal House to be found anywhere.
Cyber told me it's 1.6 kilometers to a mile. Or is it 1.6 miles to a kilometer? No, no. I know a kilometer is less than a mile. It says so on my speedometer. LOL!
A++++ for you!
What happened with the Jimmy Carter TP crisis? I must have missed it.
My only accomplishment was driving the van and giving the kids some direction. It was our kids that accomplished everything (by the grace and in the strength of the LORD). I was very proud of them!
Prior to it's 2003 Liberation Saddam Hussein's Iraq was a charnal house
I don't remember the TP crisis. Was that because of his hemmorhoids or because TP was completely unnecessary since Carter would take any amount of $#!+ imaginable off of anybody, anywhere.
1000 meters (meters are slightly shorter than a yard) equal a kilometer. Less than a mile, Miss Slip.
Hence the Militarized "klick" when referring to kilometers.
Which were used to grid all of North and South Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand aerially for Map Grid Coordinates.
Jack.
Bet you're wearing a big ole smile today!
A++++ for you, MN. And it's nice to see you in here today!
I just remember Carter in a small boat with the rabbit swimming towards him ready to attack him. That picture will never leave my mind.
BTW, have you had a little time to start reading the second book of Frankenstein? It's really good. That's where I got today's WFTD. I have another one from the book for tomorrow.
Laura, you can call it a 5 klickathon. LOL!
Not to be confused with the kickathon I want to do here at work most of the time. Walk day, I'll hang out with my work out friends instead of my work "friends". (Both groups are participating)
