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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Apparently, Ofoto doesn't want to link the photos, and they send you to a generic opening page. Anyone who cares, FreepMail me and I'll send you directly to the photos.

she asked for help thinking of a word a week or two ago and that was my choice and she quickly dismissed it as too suggestive. : (
