WORD FOR THE DAY, TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2007, ATWITTER
Merriam-Webster | Slip 18

Posted on 03/20/2007 5:39:21 AM PDT by Slip18

March 19, 2007, Tuesday, ATWITTER

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.

ATWITTER

Pronunciation: a-'twi-ter
Function: adjective

1: nervously concerned : EXCITED (gossips atwitter with speculation)

I'm all atwittered about the native plants we bought at the Botanical Gardens on Saturday. We've put in three, but, yesterday when Cyber got home, it was too danged hot to put more in. They are already blooming!

When I stepped out the door this mornin' about 6:45am I noticed immediately the world was all atwitter with a cool breeze, and the cacophony of birds chirping and tweeting and calling one another, and I knew that Spring was only hours away (tonight, 8:07pm eastern).

I suggest that Edwards and Hillary do a duet:

"We feel twitty,
Oh, so twitty,
We feel twitty, and witty and gay,
And we pity
Any girl who isn’t us today.

Those are the three we've planted. Cyber dug and I babied the plants with food and stuff. By next year a whole area will be filled with them. And they barely need water.

I didn't go, and neither did dad, he was working. The bowling outing Saturday was with Sunday School and the Globetrotters was with Girl Scouts.

OMG i can't even read that thread, it would kill me. absolute psychopath. any sort of psychological test given asks questions about propensity for cruelty to animals, it is a HUGE red flag for psycho behavior.

Well, this picture was taken (not by me) a couple of years ago, either in Alaska or Maine. Moose go into the rut in the fall so this guy was wired. LOL

Very good, tD. I had forgotten about Spring being March 21. Isn't that where you Spring Ahead and Fall Back? Why it was changed is beyond me. I also love the cocophony of the birds. Pretty soon they'll be in my Mulberry tree, shi'iting all over the grass in that lovely purple color.

We bought plants that attract butterflys and hummingbirds.

A++++ for you!

near you? and he was a cornell student? psychopaths can be quite bright, it doesn't surprise me he got into a good school. scary to think of him walking around a college campus though. just sickening.
