b>Word For The Day, August 27, 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".
irksome [urk-suhm]
-adj
1. annoying; irritating; exasperating; tiresome:
2. Obsolete causing weariness or disgust.
[1400–50; late Middle English; see irk, -some1]
Good morning all. I’ll be in a seminar most of the day, but that’s no excuse for missing your homework.
Oh, how irksome!
:)
obama has gone so far beyond irksome that it is both irksome and annoying that I can’t think of more and better words to describe it.
Jesse Waters is on Fx & riends right now asking simple questions of college students/graduates who haven’t a clue. Oh, how irksome he is.
Fx & riends = Fox & Friends
I’m still in CA digging out my mother’s house in praparation for sale. It’s very early here, but my metabolism is still on Central time.
It’s irksome to me, that I often incorporate the daily word into my letters to BOR but he hasn’t seen fit to publish a recent one on the air...lol.
Of course, he’s previously read three of mine, so perhaps I should open a new email account, ya think?
.
One room at a time, one area at a time.
ROFL. I think bor is irksome all by his own self.
You’re right!
LOL.
Yep. I’ve got 2 days and 2 bedrooms and a garage to do, plus a broom closet and a couple of drawers in the kitchen. But you wouldn’t believe the volume of “stuff” and the things I find.
For instance, I have the entire history of the California Presswomen from 1950 to present and NO CONTACT to turn over these scrap books. I’ve written to the National Presswomen to ask for a California contact (the last President died 2 years ago). Same for Delta Kappa Gamma (a teacher’s sorority). I know they are still in existence because she carries insurance sponsored by that group. She gets all upset when I ask her about these folks, so I don’t want to quiz her too much. If I don’t find a home for these books and papers, my husband is going to add them to the dumpster.
Speaking of the dumpster, homeless folks are sleeping there over night. There is a broken couch in there. The police cannot do anything about it because the dumpster is parked on the street.
I went down to the police esterday to identify her property that was stolen. I can’t get it back until the 2 thugs they caught are processed through the court system. Evidence.
That said, and with my WFTD word used in a sentence, where da wimmen at?

At least it was found, right? Too bad they didn’t steal the scrapbooks instead.
Congressional stalemates are irksome
The voters expect them to work some
The left won’t give in
Compomise is a sin
We need statesmen like Everett Dirksome
(Yes, I know I spelled his name wrong. Rhymes better my way.)
I cannot believe the sickness and idiocy of some. I was following a car this AM on my way in, with a license plate which read 4 OBAMA. i am not kidding you. it also had some bumper sticker praising obamacare. i cannot remember what the other one said but within the past month i saw another one similar to that. Not the same vehicle. bc one was a van and one was a car. I wanted to pull up next to them and say ARE YOU SERIOUS? you are driving around worshipping Obama with that license plate???
Have your husband go pee all over that couch.
It is beyond irksome to deal with a husband who 3 months after the diagnosis has still not made up his mind to do anything. My elderly MIL just tells me NOW that her husband’s prostate cancer was a very aggressive one. Wouldn’t that information have been useful 3 months ago? So in summary, DH’s brother and father had very aggressive cancer and he still can’t decide IF he will do anything beyond wait for his next PSA. Fool. The stress is too much.
Oh, yeah, we celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary last night, wonder if that’s the last one?
