Word For The Day, October 29, 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".
zeitgeber [tsahyt-gey-ber]
-n
an environmental cue, as the length of daylight or the degree of temperature, that helps to regulate the cycles of an organism's biological clock.
[1970–75; < German (1954), literally, time-giver, on the model of Taktgeber an electronic synchronization device]
so have fun being depressed the rest of football season, i guess ; )
Yeah - we dropped too, but we are still having an amazing year.

I don’t want to live in a world where cheerleader car washes are illegal. ;-)
They should only be illegal because the cheerleaders are to young for bikini car washes ;-)
i think your daughter is close to, if not a teenager, you should try to get over your lechery at this point! i do laud them for providing a service, instead of BEGGING. i also saw advertised here that a local HS was raking leaves to raise $ and that is a brilliant idea! i would def pay for that.
And now, ersatz ketchup under the golden arches?!
that there is a crime against humanity.
It’s all good clean fun.
how old is sarah now?
Always hilarious!
I wish somebody would rake the acorns in my backyard. I’m tired of stepping on them and scooping them out of the pool. These squirrels are not getting the job done!
Zeitgeber sounds like zero burger which reminds me of the White House occupant. My Aggies are doing well enough, without playing much defense this year. And our hockey team is on a short break with no games until Thursday. Big road trip to get their stuff together.

OMG anyone wondering what the fox says needs to come to my house. 5 am today, xshub and i bolt upright at the sound and i said, ok, he’s out there! Literally down at the front corner of the yard, which is where chanel always goes. so after we got up, he went out front with the flashlight and was stomping around making noise to scare the fox away before i let the dogs out. it is ANNOYING! i want fox repellant!
ok, by next year this time you need to be over the idea of ogling teen girls!
MIRANDA: George, what are you doing?
GEORGE: Did you see that? That-that pigeon didn’t move! I had to swerve to get out of the way! I saved that pigeons life!
MIRANDA: What pigeon? You drove right into that squirrel. (leaves the car)
GEORGE: Squirrel? Well, we have no deal with THEM!
I may not be actually ogling girls, but I reserve the right to be free to do so as an American.
It’s a principle thing. Cheerleaders over environmental bureaucrats.
and the vet called last night to see how chanel was going, that is twice in the past week she called to check on her, which i think is extremely nice and xshub was beyond impressed when he heard me talking to her, he said none of our doctors have been that solicitous of us! we talked about the dosages she is on, what her heart/breathing rate has been, and the fact that the dogwalker is taking her this weekend. i told the vet that i bought one of those old people pill dispensers to put her meds in labeled SAT am dose, SAT pm dose etc.
About time you started buying tickets to the old shoelace express! ROR!
