Word For The Day, August 6, 2013
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".
Serenity [suh-ren-i-tee]
-n
1. the state or quality of being serene, calm, or tranquil; sereneness.
2. ( usually initial capital letter ) a title of honor, respect, or reverence, used in speaking of or to certain members of royalty (usually preceded by his, your, etc.).
[1400–50; late Middle English serenite < Latin serēnitās. See serene, -ity ]
Its untrue......i have had several female companions almost jailed for calling 911 in that instance. Lol.
he does sound like a nice guy, hope it works out! how long have they been dating?
oh i figured you would have snakes, but not rattlers, i associate them more with the west.
They are all over.
That’s so funny, i just sent this link to my SIL and crossing it in the ether was her forwarding me the pic her mom had sent her of it, it was the timber one! we made a positive ID!
February? They plan to move in together next year if it’s working out still, although he mentioned her breaking her lease. He has moved to San Jose to be near her. New job, new housing for him. Can’t find much not to like about him.
well it’s still early in the relationship, if it’s only been since Feb, but looks promising.
It’s a really useful website.
Did you happen to see the Five yesterday? jesse watters was sitting in for eric bolling and i thought he did great. we love jesse watters at our house!
No, now I will have to try and catch it later this week. We have violin and guitar lessons at that time today.
I watched a couple of episodes of it on SciFi channel awhile back-I never could really get interested in it, even when it was first running. I’m more into the Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica stuff when it comes to action-type scifi...
It interferes with serenity
When you seldom ever know
If you have work tomorrow
When business is so slow
You buy some more chicken,
And walk right by the steak-
You can’t afford to buy that
On what you manage to make
Now, most of us long for
What we didn’t lack before-
Thanks to Obama, we dream of
More money for the grocery store...
I’ve got to go do some measuring for a bid-back soon...
I never watched it until Saturday a week ago, and watched the entire series and movie in a week. I can see why people got upset that it was cancelled. It was a fun show with interesting characters and story lines. Lots of funny moments, too.
At its root, it was about the American spirit.
It showed a lot of promise. Probably good for it that it didn’t run so long that it got hopelessly wrapped up in its mythology.
I’m looking at you, X Files.
I like livelier headbanger music myself-stuff you can really jam to...
Did you read or see “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”?
We have lotsa snakes in TN, but only the copperheads, cottonmouths and rattlers are dangerous. It’s illegal to kill a snake in TN. Go figure. If I had a rattler around here, my serenity would fly right out the window.
good to know! will have to tell my SIL so she can let her parents know, her dad was all set to shoot the thing, but it was gone.
but honestly, if you shot it and buried it, who’s going to arrest you, how would they know?
I got a couple of shots of a juvenile red rat snake in the side yard. The photos don’t do it justice. It was the most beautiful snake I’ve ever seen with many more colors and shadings than you see in the photos.
