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.

Thank you, xs, for this WFTD. It describes us to a “T.”
We plan to. I'm going to make semi-fancy dinner on Thursday for the 3 of us and Friday we will do our ow thing.....Jax is having a sleepover at Becky's.
Of course all of the above is predicated on me shaking whatever miserable bug has infected me by then. It must be pretty bad when even the manager of the supermarket commented to me this afternoon I didn't look well. I sort of felt sorry for the guy when the assistant manager said "Well her standing outside Saturday afternoon with the GS cookies probably didn't help." The AM is a pistol
Happy B-Day, Vastie!
Maybe this time the Bald One Britney will stay in rehab long enough to get a ratiocinative diagnosis.
(Personally, I think she may be bipolar.)
I'm on my way out the door to finish the job that has had me running in circles since Friday-the customer is one of those people I'd never do work for if I did not need the money-back later...

LOL!!!
The nyquil I took and 9 solid hours of sleep sure helpd. I no longer feel like I have an elephant standing on the bridge of my nose.
