Word For The Day, September 3, 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".
inauspicious [in-aw-spish-uhs]
-adj
not auspicious; boding ill; ill-omened; unfavorable.
[1585–95; in-3 + auspicious]
You are tough on electronics. I’ve never broken a thing, but my husband goes through phones like crackerjack.
But does it have a backup camera and beeper?
no, i am not at all tough on them. this was the first item that was damaged. the others were all flaws. The iphone 5 i had originally was not holding the charge. i took it in, she tested it, and said it was the first she had seen with that particular problem. The previous ipad 3 i had the button was not working, they replaced it.
Yes, it has everything that the 2011 had, there is no sonar, it’s not offered apparently, since this has all of the bells and whistles they offer.
Do you get 4x4?
My department secretary got a new Subaru Forester and said that it had a neat feature. If you have the (front) windshield wipers on and shift into reverse, it automatically does a swipe with the rear wiper.
yes, xshub said it’s 4wd. That is cool about the rear wipers. I had a good guy telling me how to do stuff in there, last time the guy didn’t tell me too much. This guy said the 2011 would have also played the ipod without wires, but that you had to go through several screens to get there, no one had told me that. xshub had said this was pretty similar to his lexus as far as features.
I wish we had rear wipers when the girls were still in diapers
i get what you did there... you goofball!
When I bought mine, the sales guy went through the setup to “pair” both my and my wife’s phones, and gave us a brief tour of the controls.
I just went over 1500 miles.
Yeah, I may not be in Hegewisch anymore, butt I’ll do my best to live up to the other half of my handle.
i had 45,000 mi on the 2011.
it’s in your genes/jeans... ; )
McCain: Shouting 'Allahu Akhbar!' Same as Christians Shouting 'Thank God!'
It’s sort of true. Except we say it when our kicker makes a field goal and they say it when they cut the head off an infidel.
And that my friend makes all the difference.
Every morning I feel like I’ve awakened in some alternate universe-
Obama loss of credibility
Is just almost delicious-
His ridiculous remarks are
Viewed as inauspicious
Unfortunately, that means
Most of our allies find
His actions as erratic
And him of unsound mind
He wants some bombs and tanks
For his silly, scripted play-
If congress has sense at all
They’ll take his keys away...
“Help, I’m stepping into the twilight zone-
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned”
And maybe I can escape into an estimate for a couple of hours-back later...
It’s always inauspicious when Juan & Grahamnesty bi-participate with The One to “resolve” the nation’s problems...
My budget does not permit newer vehicles, but I’ve never done that-can’t miss what you never had-I’m happy with an old 4X4 SUV/Truck that goes where I need it to go, out here in the land of few paved roads-and I’m totally not into cameras, GPS, etc-it is creepy to me-driving is breathing space-if I want/need to communicate, I’ll turn down the stereo, pull way off the road and call or text safely on my cell phone...
I read “Atlas Shrugged” again about 2 years ago, and was newly inspired to go galt. I just started reading Ira Levin’s “This Perfect Day” again, for another chilling take on where we are now...
Is it just me, or is McCain crazier than a s***house rat?
