;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".

1.Right-thinking, orthodox, conformist; conservative. [quotations ▼] 2010, Bagehot, The Economist, 23 Aug 2010: He hopes Mr Abbott wins the election in part because it would, he says, annoy bien-pensant British journalists and Leftists who oppose the Australian's positions on things like abortion, gay marriage or climate change. 2.Someone who accepts and/or espouses a fashionable idea after it has been established and maintains it without a great amount of critical thought.

Yes, 82 yesterday, 48 tomorrow.
No, you’re not turning the A/C on in April.
his next biz trip? the minute his car is going down the driveway? ON.
You could try opening some windows. Get a breeze going.
Or just don’t wear so many clothes. Pragmatic bonus: there will be less to wash.
that’s fine on the main floor, and that’s what we did in our room last night, it was helped by the ceiling fan. the kids rooms do not have ceiling fans, and xsboy is coming home this weekend for Easter and he has horrible allergies, which are compounded by open windows. If he’s feeling it up in Syracuse, he will be miserable at home where far more is blooming. As i told xshub i just HATE to be hot; i do not complain nearly as much about being cold, bc you can add sweaters, blankets, socks etc.
we have de minimus laundry : )
Get him some Flonase. Changed my life.
pretty sure he’s had that in the past. need a scrip for it right? He’s too old for the pediatrician, so that means he would have to see Jafar, xshub’s internist. Jafar was referred by the Sultan, xshub’s urologist who dealt with the kidney stones.
Yes, he would need a prescription. Doesn’t he have a “family doctor”?
I am so sorry. It’s good you were there with her, so she was surrounded by love before she left.
are you JOINING the roller derby or just going to watch??? A+++
As I understand it:
1890 Bundy family comes into possession of a massive amount of land.
1993 Feds take over land without compensation to Bundy family, start harging ‘grazing fees’, Bundy’s say FU
2014 feds swoop in with snipers and helicopters, start confiscating cattle, Patriots find out, show up, feds threaten some more, more patriots show up, feds back down.
Now it sounds like harry Reid is involved in some solar farm deal with the Chinese for the land stolen by the feds from the Bundy’s.
the kids had the pediatrician as a family dr, he kicks them out when they get to college. He has not needed a dr since, so his “FAMILY” doctor will be Jafar, xshub’s internist. xsgirls see my internist as their family dr.
harry reid is one of the sleaziest, slimiest DWEEBS on the planet. HOW in the WORLD does he keep being re-elected?
Interesting, my twins would be good at that!
Huck makes me HURL. A+++
I despise that scumbag. There has to be vote fixing for him to keep getting reelected. He has got to go!
