Etymology: 1872; coined by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking-Glass; perhaps meant to suggest fabulous or joyous
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
We took my kids there too when we were in San Fran a few years ago. Did you see any men in dresses? I did not see anything outrageous even in the Castro District [notorious gay area], and I was looking!
I never saw anything outrageous there. And I was looking, too. LOL
It's coming.
I think the government is already taking them! LOL
The bridesmaid to the far left in the photo is our niece. She was working her second job as a bartender down the street and we stopped in for dinner. (she is a speech therapist in the schools out there). We were all there along with our new SIL, who is of Mexican descent. Our niece is adopted from Korea. So she tells her regulars at the bar that her family is there, they turn and spot an Asian couple further back in the bar and assume it’s them, she says no, they are right behind you. They look all over and ask where? LOL She had fun with them. When she first moved out our daughter would introduce her as her cousin, then when they would act dumbfounded she would tell them she was the one adopted...that got some laughs.
A+++ I heard of this but didn’t follow it closely. Was she wearing her uniform in the tweet or otherwise identify her employer? because I think it’s dangerous to advocate job loss, even of those with abhorrent opinions, when we would be outraged were she fired for holding a conservative position, if it’s done on their own time and not related to their employment.
that is funny!
Yes, she posted with her Subway uniform on. If your profile pic identifies your employer, then you must be very careful what you post.
Agreed
Wouldn’t a selfie via drone just be a photograph?
Would depend on whether or not you were controlling the drone. If you control a drone to photograph yourself, it would still be a selfie IMHO.
It was getting rainy again so we left off work-I’ve got to run to the general store in a bit for a couple of things, then I’m going to price out an estimate my compadre did-
The Obamas just don’t realize
As they talk about the “rich”
That to most of us they are
Two greedy grifters who bitch
About others who do the same-
While most of have no relief
From a diet of cheaper cuts
They eat frabjous wagu beef
To afford even one new outfit
We work a day’s worth of hours
While Michelle spends millions
On dresses with ugly flowers...
Those are great pictures-everyone looks like they are very happy-and I love your dress, too...
I hope they come back from the honeymoon with everything they went with-Cancun is a beautiful place, but was already the tourist-robbing capitol of Mexico 30 years ago...
What a great photo! Love the dress!
I have stopped putting any credence in anything-anything at all-that pope Francis says-I think he will go down in history as one of the worst, if not downright apostate-he wouldn’t be the first to hold that title...
Thanks.
I tear up, too, at that one. My baby is married. Wow.
Wait, if WE are the government, then we would be taking the selfies.....right?
