February 13, 2007 2007, RIPARIAN
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!
In case you missed it: I'll be opening the classroom from my hotel room early tomorrow morning (towel optional).
I've been listening to the weather report for your area..........yikes this afternoon is going to be a mess.
Holy whatever word you want to put in there. I don't ever remember being in an ice storm or having a day off school for weather reasons.
"What do you say kids? They call it 'riparian.' Sounds nice doesn't it?
"Well, it isn't. It's a fancy-schmancy word for living in a van down by the river."
LOL!!!!!
Buenos Nachos to you, Meekie! Good to see you!
Right now we just have an annoying amount of drizzle, but the rain is expected to get heavier later, but that's all we're going to get, just rain.
Hehehehehehehe! A++++ for you, Meekie.
Likewise, thanks !! :^D
Oh, my gosh. I hope you have a nice fire going in the fireplace.
hehehe! Tanks! :^D
I am warm here, not to worry. My fireplace does not work!
Yes, I got it. That was a pretty piece.
A++++ for you NnB!
My vote is towel off. Oh, the imagination . . .
I think I'll go out and play in the weather.
How bad can it be? Globull Warming is upon us, right?
Stay warm, Dave.
A++++ for you!
Didn't that insane self-loathling lesbaian, Rosie O'Donnell pick a fight with Kelly Riparian? And then go on to bite off more than she could chew by picking a fight with the Donald.
We'll get to the high 60s today. Only low 40s at night. But we've got rain a coming for two nights.
A++++ for you!
