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]

I saw a fox crossing the road while I was driving here today. I thought it was a small groundhog at first, but then it was way too nimble. And not the right color.

You paying that vet with your own money, right? No third party payer. So they act like they appreciate your business.

Funny how that works.

Rush Limbaugh talks about how Obama manages to escape responsibility for anything and everything that happens under his watch, with the latest excuses based upon the “He didn’t know about it” meme. With apologies to the late Sam Cooke, I rewrote the lyrics to “What a Wonderful World,” to be sung by our Fearless Leader.


Don’t know much about Obamacare
Don’t know why we weren’t ready there
Don’t know much about the IRS
And who they targeted, I couldn’t guess

But socialism, baby I love you
And I know that if you’d love it, too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don’t know much about geography
Don’t know Libya or Benghazi
Don’t know much about algebra
Don’t know what walking guns is for

But I do know, one and one is two
And if, Alinsky, I could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now I sure claim to be an ‘A student’
But it’s hard to see
For maybe if I were an ‘A student’, baby
I could fix this economy

Don’t know much of Fast & Furious
And I’m not the least bit curious
Don’t know much about the NSA
Or who they might be spying on today

But I know that I should love my wife
And if you make me President for Life
What a wonderful world this would be

La ta ta ta ta ta ta ah
(IRS)
Hmm mmm mmm
(Health Care mess)
La ta ta ta ta ta ah
(Geography)
Hmm mmm mmm, yeah
(Benghazi)

I just know that I should love my wife
And if you make me President for Life
What a wonderful world this would be

I ordered it for both dogs when I realized the expensive problems we inherited with them but was told since they were diagnosed prior to the policy, their conditions would not be covered. At that point, I canceled both policies. I plan to get it for the next dog before I have them vetted or problems develop. I’m reluctant to go down the rescue dog path again though, since we were burned twice in a row.

A visit to a Global Warming conference by Al Zeitgoreber is usually
a good indicator of record low temperatures in the host city for the duration ...

Insurance is pretty much, the big ticket stuff, like what you went through. Not clear on tue meds....

So, SG, add me to your update list please!

I’m still under the vets puppy pkg.

No, but you have to buy maternity care even if the bitch is spayed.
