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.

Thought of all you frozen staters would like to be reminded that Spring will be here soon, and you'll be able to get those nice rainy days instead of this snow!
Did I give you an A++++.
I think Silly is nearby.
A++++ for you. And welcome aboard!
(Robt basks in the righteously ruined remnants of raparianed rapture, having shamelustly stolen meek's homework ......
:)
Oh, Gabz, stay as warm as you can. I'll be thinking of you!
Gotcha!
Years ago my doc said if you're feeling like you're coming down with a cold to boil a danged chicken and eat the chicken fat with some chicken. Maybe you gave Jax the Jewish cure.
Ah done do be canoodling (er, canyouing) since Ah were a young sprout of merely 12 years old.....
You are in my prayers.
You have all but one of your four ducks in line. Xshub will be home soon.
I'm sure you were great at the Rubic's cube, for which I threw against a wall.
I've seen canoodling on the Discover Channel. So you're a Canoodling Cook!
Meek points out that Slippy did not tell Robt whether Robt or the Slippery Two (er, Slippery One) was gonna get wrapped in the handcuffs ....
(Cyber just grins... Has funny look of antislipation on face ....)
Sue's my friend, Slip, she'd do the same for me and has, I don't think twice about that kind of stuff.
As for the Jewish cure, who knows, but I do know I added a good 8 ounces of chicken fat to that stock pot yesterday. I always save the fat when I'm cleaning most kinds of poultry to be put in the freezer, but especially chicken.
Home at last and cooking sausage and (gag!) sauerkraut for hubby-I will be having leftover ribs from Sunday and salad as I sit upwind of the kitchen table at the breakfast island-
I'm so tired of queen Hillary
And all her silly airs
I can't imagine who believes them
Or that anyone really cares
We know from whence she came
And it isn't from the upper crust
And her husband is a vulgar man
Who can't control his lust
Two crooked trailer trash lawyers
Who need to take a cruise
Back to some swamp and disappear
Back into the riparian ooze
Those of you having the horrendous weather, please be careful and stay safe and indoors if you can.
xshub got home safely, so we are definitely all ensconced indoors! i am making soup and homemade biscuits for dinner.
So glad to hear xshub is home safe and sound.
We are apparently of the lucky, it's just raining at the moment, and expected to continue that way through the night and then clear off and dry out.
