Word For The Day, Monday, 5/1/06
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".
ingrate; noun
n : a person who shows no gratitude [syn: thankless wretch, ungrateful person]
Etymology: [From Middle English ingrat, ungrateful, from Old French, from Latin ingrtus : in-, not; see in-1 + grtus, pleasing, thankful; see gwer-2 in Indo-European Roots.]
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
Bad girl.........
I don't want all y'alls to think of me as an ingrate, but ...
Yesterday Cyber fixed my computer with five-second nail glue and (this was my idea) duct tape. It worked last eve and this morning when I was sending out long overdue e-mails, and I sent Cyber a FReepmail.
Then KABOOM, my Compaq Windows 98 DIED again. Cyber said he would try to fix it tonight with a soldering iron. We'll see.
I can start tomorrow's WFTD because I saved everything on my profile page, but I won't be able to reply because I have the most difficult time typing on these little flipping keys. It really hurts my fingers.
Does that make me an ingrate?
my best friend is of Polish extraction but she married a DARK Pole and dang if her kids aren't all dark like that. WAY darker than my half dago kids! LMAO at the girlfriends horrified at your mom marrying a paisan!
polack and dago names both end in vowels, that's how you know you aren't johnny bull!
tell cyber he can get a new lawnmower if he buys you a new computer!
1. Tourism
2. Money wired into Mexico from emigrants to the U.S.
Vicente Fox will NEVER do anything to curb illegal immigration into the U.S....he has absolutely no incentive to do so.
But don't some of your taxes go to fund hospitals so they can use the ER like a private physician? Think of the children - you need to keep working so they can abuse the system, duh!
if he and his country get people in the US P'd O enough, he will feel the pinch.
Say what?
HD, White Sox are terrific again this year!
just like Kennywood park used to have Slovak Day or Polish day at the amusement park, today has been hunky day in WFTD so we need the foodstuffs to go with!
Happy May Day!
these agitators have no idea what kind of monster they are unleashing with this crap. they think that there were xenophobes before, people are NOT going to sit for this stuff!
Yes. Our problems are exactly the same as they have been for decades; too many people using the safety net as a hammock.
A hot roll in the hay with your honey? LOL!
Well, Mexico has already seen its LAST tourist dollar from me.
Well I'm off to spend some US currency and glare at anyone I see protesting.....
