April 17, 2007, Tuesday, INTEGRITY
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.
Pronunciation: in-'te-gr&-Te
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English integrite, from Middle French & Latin; Middle French integrité, from Latin integritat-, integritas, from integr-, integer entire
1 : firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : INCORRUPTIBILITY
2 : an unimpaired condition : SOUNDNESS
3 : the quality or state of being complete or undivided : COMPLETENESS
synonym see HONESTY
RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.
If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.
See you at my regular time. Be good until then!
Good morning, Slippie! Alas, my lack of integrity keeps me up FReeping when I should have been in bed long ago, getting ready for work.
I never learn. Too busy having fun. (hee hee)
Now get to bed. That's an order from the subbie!
A++++ for you, and you're Numero Uno!
There is no integrity today.
do YOU have that dream too??? LOL
Ours are filed and the refund is HERE....if the dang snow is over I can go spend some of it!!!!
There IS integrity....it is only a conservative value though....
Morning!
We had our refund in AND spent back in February........
Good morning Slippie! My team let me down again last night. The Sharks coach has no integrity. He claimed he had a picture of one of our players knocking out a tooth on Cheechoo but then claimed he couldn’t get the printer to work in his office at HP Pavilion so he couldn’t show everyone his so-called proof. The truth is the guy lost a tooth when his jaw hit the ice, not from any direct contact with a player.
President Bush is a man of integrity. I think that it is very touching for him to go down to Blacksburg today for the memorial service at VaTech. They announced the shooting at both xsboy and xsteen’s HS’s, and asked for prayers for the victims. Many alums from both schools, as well as siblings of current students attend college there.
we’ve been waiting till this remodeling is done and paid for....so I need a new kitchen sink, closet doors,,,,etc,—the contractor is back for phase two
That's what you get when you use an HP printer ;)
After the Sabres game, I stayed up to watch two periods of the Preds/Sharks -- Nashville was doing well until the announcer said that Vokoun was conducting a goaltender clinic, when all of a sudden they were down 2-1(!) Make or break tomorrow...

Sorry, but that won't get you a tax day extension.
To preserve the integrity of our flawed but familiar calendar, I insist that you not borrow any days from April to help out February.
August, maybe ...
Mike Nifong has little integrity
(Okay, none, Let’s dispense with the charity)
He put three boys through Hell
Made the Blacks think he’s swell
Got elected by quite a majority
They make plenty of noise, but there’s no soundness behind the democrat’s claims of integrity ...
I watched your game too and was rooting for them. I like the Sabres goalie and cannot stand some of the Islanders.
