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.

Only in America!

The tadpoles are lined up and ready to go too.

We even make up names for each other such as "To the moon, Alice!" It's all in fun.
The only time we have "words" is when we're on long trips driving. I drive way too fast on the highways and byways, and he's slower than a turtle (although he was almost ticketed for being the fast driver in a string of fast drivers, but he got out of that), and he drives fast through the cities. That's a no-no.
I have a record coming from So. Cal. to here in four-and-a-half hours. That's approximately 85 mph ALL the way. There were times when that danged little thing in your auto has numbers. Is 100 mph too much? LOL!
A little more than a third of the way is all desert. You just put your foot to the metal. Oh, they're not metal any longer.
ROTFLMAO. They also look like (may I say this) baby sperm that lost their integrity. Hehehehehehe.
I don’t mind speed as long as the driver has my complete trust. Then put the peddle down. One of the reasons I love flying so much- those take offs are just it for me.
I don’t drive too fastly (somebody from China used this word in an email to me yesterday, so I know it’s real if it can get through BabelFish). The idiots in the cities drive too slowly.
Have you ever flown into John Wayne Airport in So. Cal.? It’s in Newport Beach/Irvine, very wealthy areas. They don’t like noise. So the planes have to go straight up like a roller coaster when you’re leaving, and straight down on landing.
Other than that airport, I love to fly.

Fly Me to the Moon
(Bart Howard)
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you
repeat 2nd verse, then repeat 1st verse
Argh. No pizza in the Cafe today. I’ll have to whip some up when I get home...shortly.
You only work two miles from here. It’s a 45 mph for most of the way. If my math is right, it only takes you an hour to get there. LOL!
Your math is sound but my geography might be off some.
Arghie, are you stealing Cyber’s pizza again?
Fly Me to the Moon

Sung by, Tony Bennett- loved that song all my life.
I have not been in CA. so I have no idea regarding airports there. I was in Las Vegas last July.
I've never used maps, except the one from AAA that told me to take the 10 Freeway all the way here. Never heard you laugh like that. I still have it. LOL!
Tadpoles was a euphemism.
I thought it was sung by Frank Sinatra
Did you have fun in Lost Wages? It was waaaaaay different 20 years ago. Children were not wanted there. Now, it’s like Disneyland, but it’s beautiful.
Oh, so romantic . . .
Just conceived there. ~o ~o ~o ~o ~o ~o ~o
So sorry my playmate
Can’t come out and play with you
My dolly has the flu
She threw up in my shoe...
