January 30, 2007, Tuesday, FULMINATE
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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so 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.

Ah, well it may warm up a tad here today, not much though. It's still Winter.
Did ya have a good sleep?
I did after I crashed at 4:00am this morning EST. UGH!
"They're all dead, Dave. Everyone is dead, Dave. They're all dead, Dave."
There was a thread on FR this morning (after 5:00) about insomnia. There's now supposed to be a cure. It doesn't say it, but it probably causes liver disease, then you have a long nice sleep.
A++++ for you, SG!
A++++ for you. And now I will continue to go backwards.
Some article, loved the comments. ;)
I would not say I suffer from insomnia. I just get to wound up to give up. I fight everything until I collapse. Always been that way. My mom said when I as a babe in arms, she would be getting ready for bed and I would be ready to rock and roll. I was a night person until recent years. Now I turn in early and get up early.
My sleeping patterns shift and change throughout the seasons.
I am a bit odd. ;)
A++++ for you!
So do mine. Never know when it's going to start or finish.
There must be a $50.00 word for our condition, eh?? LOL
Goldfish shoals snipping at my toes...
Seasonal insomnia? LOL!
DOH, LOL
ROTFLMAO.
Schmeggie Cyber knows all the words to that song. We still have to get the last four DVDs, just haven't done it yet.
Bet you have!
Do I get the $50? ROTFLMAO!
I found a book on the Red Hat Society with some historical data but also marvelous recipes.
I'm trying to find out if they are political, because I don't want to be in fisticuffs with anyone, but it appears it's just a fun group. They go to museums, plays, luncheons, things like that.
Did you know you may only wear a pink hat until you hit the ripe old age of 50 years old?
Okay, I'm allowed to wear the red hat. Sheesh.
I don't have the disposable income, so I make do with my VHS tapes from PBS and BBC America. I've got every episode through all 8 seasons, except for one or two I've misplaced.
They are expensive. $64 for two. And I think the last two were a bit more than that. Yes, they are expensive. But I saw the whole set on e-bay just recently.
LOL, well sure you do. LMAO!
