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.
Will you be with or without towel?
Well I will be at work tomorrow — so slacks, no towel.
My darling, desiccate has two c's, not four. But because you used the word, you get an A++++!
Well, I think you have three grades in the grade book in six years. Sheesh.
We must have really messed up the crossword puzzle last eve.
Awwwww, just dang. LOL!
Well, the answers to the puzzle are right there on the bed. Seems to me we got the whole thing. Are me senile?
Ick on split pea soup :)
We wiped out the last of the salad fixin’s with dinner last night. I made mini cheddar bacon quiches. Out of 24 only 3 were left and hubby ate those for breakfast.
LOL! Ya thaink????
looks like your little munchkin will have continuous education up through junior high at least, good for yunz!
i had to leave for a vet visit. loosh needs to lose a few pounds and chanel has her spaying appt for later this month. i am hoping we can avoid the onset of menses before that date, bc she just turned 7 months old! i don’t do doggy periods!
Yes, we are senile. No biggie. Good to be that way. At least we “finished” the crossword puzzle, wrong spelling and all. Hehehehehehehe!
I must have missed the story on how you received Chanel. I figured you got her for Christmas. That's about the right timing.
we had been wanting a female tricolor to go along with our blenham,loosh, and xshub finally caved and said it would be my christmas present, and bday present for the next umpteen years but we could get one. so i called the breeder up in PA, from whom we got loosh, and she had a little girl tricolor pup and so we drove up a week or two before christmas and met her at a rest stop just over the line in DE and exchanged ca$h for pup.
You would have to bring that up, wouldn’t you? Who’s got the PMS pic..........?
I remember listening to Imus when I was a teenager. Every afternoon my dad and I would discuss that morning’s show. Because I’m trying to think of it, of course I can’t remember it, but I do remember one afternoon when both of us said no more Imus because of one of his always tasteless jokes being beyond tasteless and into the truly offensive. late/Mid ‘70s because I was still in HS
Interstate trafficking?
yes. cavaliers down here cost $2500. the PA breeder charges $1500. it was worth the drive to save $1000.
i think bernard mcguirk is a genius and funny as all get-out. i used to listen going to work years back, but then they changed to a diff station that didn’t come in as strong, so i stopped. i have enjoyed him in the past. he is being hoisted on his own petard here, as he sucks up to liberals and that is who is bringing him down.
If you didn’t go to Kiski would you be buying some different type of dog?
