I'm BACK!

Had a rather serious MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT on July 4th and haven't been up to my old self for the last three weeks, but am feeling much better now. Road Rash on both arms, left shoulder and left leg, mostly healed but still tender. Bruised ribs and hip, fractured shoulder blade still bothers me enough to need a Percocet to sleep. But mostly ok as long as I don't overdo it. Have to wear a sling on my left arm for 8 weeks.

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........

McCain must impreciate himself for the TV cameras, because no honest man or woman can appreciate him for his real merits.

Good luck on the rehab. Hope you weren’t imprecating too much at whatever caused the accident.

Is the Mooch out to immolate
Or just to quickly stimulate
Is it a gaffe
To curse Trump’s staff
Or a planned tactic to imprecate?

Hi Red! So sorry to hear that! I have had a few spills myself, so I know how it is.

I still ride, however, as it is my "Therapy".

Here's my contribution to today:

We, as believers, are enjoined, For Our National Leaders, to pray.
Now it has become a pleasure,
And I do so every day.
But the previous administration,
Caused me to imprecate...
Till I found the Perfect Scripture
Psalm 109, Verse 8

imprecation (plural imprecations)

The act of imprecating, or invoking evil upon someone; a prayer that a curse or calamity may befall someone.

Memo
To: John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and GOP-e, all Democrats and fellow travelers.

Imprecation of The Day:

May your never ending descent into the bottonless pit be accompanied by all the vile and loathesome diseases unleashed upon earth and other galaxies, accompanied by barking hyenas tearing chunks of flesh, and the howling of the demons of hell.(see appendices A thru ZZZ for complete listing)

..but first the smiting with the jaw bones of an ass...like to like. Bon Voyage y’all!
