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 again today. Beware !

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.

Losing my dad has created a hell of a vacuity in my heart.

What, you haven't seen it yet?

Gotta credit those French shmucks who shlepped their digital camera equipment out to Buttf***, Antarctica in -50 degree (and lower) temps to film it.

No, haven't seen it. I don't have an attention span that allows me to sit through an entire movie. The closest I got was Band of Brothers, and that is in roughly one hour chunks.

I have at least 100 on my list. You can check it out on my profile page, although I haven't added Calli yet to that one. I have a different ping list in here.

Yeah, it's definitely not an action film.

But it's a beautiful testament to the lengths these animals go just to reproduce.

Would that some crack ho mommies had as much maternal sense.

Brrrrr! Clear and 23 outside, and although it is going to be a little warmer for awhile tomorrow, there is another cold front coming in late Wednesday night with possible snow and sleet-and down into the teens Thursday night-I'm digging out a pair leg warmers tonight.

Listening to the 'rat party's rhetoric
Just about bores me to tears
There's hardly a coherent thought in
That vacuity between their ears

Howard and John F'in are cowards
Who say pack up the troops and go
Home from Iraq this very instant
While Queen Hillary is lying low

She's watching which way the wind blows
So she can make a connection
But with her party in confusion
It comes from every direction

The gent lives it up on annuities,
Accentuates his perspicuity,
Following Howard the Dean,
The gent becomes quite mean,
And demonstrates perfect vacuity.

I've been through it, too. I still have a vacuity in my heart after 15 years. It never stops.

A++++ for you. And nothing anyone can say can help. Just know he's in God's hands right now.

It's an 8-minute ride. 8 1/2 with the dusting of snow we had. It's nice choosing your home location based on where you work instead of vice versa.

That's not Mrs. F. It's a still from some cheesy mattress commercial.

Is it a G rating?

Yup! RENT IT!

I don't do laxatives. Although, Cyber calls xsmommy "exlaxmommy." LOL! She probably won't see this, otherwise, Cyber will get some arse kicking from her.
