WORD FOR THE DAY, TUESDAY MAY 1, 2007,
Merriam-Webster

Posted on 05/01/2007 5:20:50 AM PDT by Slip18

Tusday, MAY 1, 2007, EGRESS

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.


Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.

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.

I think it would be more French, such as Egrette. What do you think?

I do believe the rooster “delivers it” to the chicken.

If he gets lucky he does.

LOL!!!!! Thank goodness I don’t need much sleep.

It will all work out. The job situation kind of threw us off, it happened 1,2,3. I go back today, and Sue was just going to keep the girls when she picked them up from school until after girl scouts tonight.......but at the same time that I have to be at the Lodge she has to be at HR for her physical (read piss test).....so she cancelled GS for tonight and is just going to drop them here after school and they’ll come with me to the Lodge. They can do their homework, I can feed them and we’ll most likely be home by 8.

tomorrow she’ll keep them after school and we will meet them at the ball field after the seafood festival, because Becky has practice........

"This was no opus, NnB. I’ll still be here. I just can’t type most of the day."

I know. I was kidding, except about offering to help.

I was also serious about having dyslexic fingers. If you'll notice, I spelled 'just' as "jsut".

Probably, your eyes have gotten used to "considering the source", and you ignored it.
