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!
yes i am working at home today and thankful for it. now all three are being dismissed around 1pm. so at least it's settled!
glad she is feeling better but i would have been leery of letting her load her stomach up like that with being sick in the AM!
I agree about her loading up, but the child was complaining about being starving and by the time we ate dinner she had been running around like normal for a couple of hours.
Be back in a bit, I've got to run to the pharmacy for Sue and the bank for the GS........
Thanks.
No way am I gonna let you be the thread killer.............that's MY job :)
Everyone is pulling out their snow shovels, they will be snowed in with their computers in due time. rme. Life should be interesting tonight, I am on call ALL night. Can't wait for the first MVA. Why do I live up a hill?
Cute baby! Congratulations. Boy or girl?
A++++ for you, Truthie!
Thank the Good Lord, xshub is okay.
Can't help you out there, m'dear.
I'm not worried about snow or ice, but I am concerned that all the rain we are supposed to be getting until Thursday is going to start causing some major flooding on the back roads. And "back roads" defines practically ALL roads in this county except for Rte 13.
You need a calendar just to know when to pick up the two younger xskids, you know, one of those 15-minute calendars. I'd be CRAZY!
Thanks. It's a boy!
I'll be thinking of you tonight! I do miss ~some~ snow.
I'll be thinking of you tonight! I do miss ~some~ snow.
Is that you, Truthie? Oh, what a beautiful grandpa and granchild!
Cyber says to me, "Certain people I'm married to." I guess that would be plural, also, but I leave it alone to all y'alls.
well he isn't home safely, yet, slippy. he is en route home from Richmond VA where it is only raining, but the roads are def icy here. xsteen was sliding around in the Jag and the road surfaces were not good when i went to get xsboy from the subway. all kids are home, now hoping husband gets home ok.
I am on duty tonight, outside at the moment all is clear and no sign of snow yet. That won't last till five a.m. when I get off duty.
it's def getting worse here as time goes on, i think it's likely they won't have school tomorrow. Fed gov't dismissed at 2pm here also.
I never worry about the Global Warming or Global Cooling. We're just in a cycle. It will be gone in a few years.
