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".
mundify \MUHN-duh-fahy\, verb
To purge or purify.
Example sentences:
The cleric, fatigued and mumpish, scolded her, saying that a woman of her burdensome years should return home and mundify her morphewed sins.
-- Edward Dahlberg, The Olive of Minerva: Or, The Comedy of a Cuckold
Vigorous efforts to mundify old nasty habits should find priority as a substruction on which the edifice of the efforts of humanising the police should be built.
-- Praveen Kumar, Indian Police
Etymology:
Mundify is built from two Latin roots, mundi-, "to clean," and ficare, "to do."
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

WFB's attempt to emulate us ; ) No pushing at the door please!
A+++!
A+ for you! It’s raining steadily here too and this will continue tomorrow. Enough already.
I predict that the economy will start to sail along as soon as it’s obvious that theO is going down. Too bad your rain wasn’t spread out over the entire year. We have had rain as well, it’s like a misty rain every dang day. A few hours of sunshine here and there. DH says the cold winds are blowing in. Up to 35mph, so the inflatables are all done....the entire menagerie of them.
So, you didn’t have a family move in next door with three little girls did ya?
Thank you! More rain for us tomorrow as well.
I think we will get going again as soon as we have a regime change-just like we did when Reagan was elected-times were still tough, but people started to get back to work really fast, the atmosphere was hopeful and so business started picking up.
I don’t put up lights on the house-I learned better the first Christmas we lived here and the squirrels hopped from the trees overhanging the garage roof and gleefully tore the light strings asunder within a few days. Like any redneck woman however, I do keep one string of lights on the side deck all year long-hell yeah!...
I will have to venture out this year and snap some pics of the menagerie and post them. My DH goes all out. It’s the talk of the neighborhood and folks from all over town come by and know who we are. LOL I gave up trying to rein him in years ago. Right in front of the house is a 12 ft. fire truck with Santa in it.
Hi 5!
(Did it rain any more down there? We were in north Houston and the Sugarlands area fer Thanksgiving with St Ronnie’s family and my folks, but haven’t heard about much weather since those rains....)

What a creepy little neighborhood they have. A+ for you.
Drizzle and rain every day here this week, and more predicted till at least Tuesday.
Ugh. Drizzles don’t fill the aquifer, but make do a great job of making everything topside real messy......
