April 10, 2007, Tuesday, DESICCATE
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.

My brain is desiccated from learning how to use this computer! If I've made errors, please forgive me.
Ms. Slip, just think how much this challenges you and Cyber. Keeps ya young and thinking all the time. ;)
All nouns are capitalized. We used to do the same thing, check out the Declaration of Independence sometime.
I think you can only eat them once, and then you are DEAD.
I think there’s a gag order on who the father is, at least that’s what I heard last night. Poor baby.
I was more of an Ogden Nash reader. That says a whole lot about me.
I love split pea soup. Haven’t had it in years. In fact, I could eat soup or salad every single day.
I told him to take it out of here. He was teasing me and said, "I can't. Now you're recording something." Sheesh.
Yes, the baby is the one who will suffer all her life.
LOL well you will get it figured out! ;)
I just remember my grandmother speaking German to my grandfather when I was there. They weren't very nice words. When I repeated them to my dad, I was told never to say them again.

Patsy Tatano Jr. wants you to know the candidate he isn’t backing in the race for Washington County register of wills.
Who is Patsy Tatano Jr.? We have no idea. But the half-page ad he purchased in The Weekly Recorder, a Washington County newspaper, certainly caught our eye.
“I, Patsy Tatano, along with the rest of the Tatano family, do not endorse Diane Tatano as candidate for register of wills. So please ignore any rumors you hear stating otherwise. Thank you — Patsy Tatano Jr. (ex-husband).”
Our hunch: The Tatanos didn’t experience the most amicable of divorces.
I was beginning to think you were being truant today.
So Patsy Tatano is throwing tomatoes at his ex-wife Diane. Betcha she wins. LOL!
I was beginning to think YOU were truant today. *snicker*
A "he" named "Patsy?" Wasn't there a song about that back in the late '60's?
I was having a little too much fun on another thread and FReepmail. I was also getting a head start on preparing tomorrow’s WFTD classroom. It will be a special day tomorrow.
"Betcha can't eat just one ?!"
Did you see that little female black cat in the front this morning. I put some water and food outside in the back for her. She's so skinny. Simba has amore on his mind.
I think it's just silicone in there to keep products fresh and crispy.
Desiccccccate. Good WFTD!
