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....

Madame? Did you and Stone Cold get married and not tell us?

[SeaDragon]

Hello, my sweet cupcake. Did you miss me?

[Argh]

I didn't just miss you, I was downright worried. Thought maybe a shark had gotten lucky. Or even worse, with all that vacation you'd forget how to do your job and get fired!

[RikaStrom]

xs, Sea and I take exception to your "prissie" remark. We are not prissies, we hire that sort of thing out. ;-)

[hobbes1]

Yeah, to guys like Hannity. lol

[RikaStrom]

You are very right. In fact I had to do one of my scathing letters to someone today who told me to quit. lol, I don't think she liked my answer.

A+

[SeaDragon]

It is nice to know that you were so worried.

No sharks got me this trip but I did have a 15 foot hammerhead swim over my head. Got the pix on video. When I figure out how to post it, I will.

As far as losing my job, not likely. I am back to being chained to my desk though.

[RikaStrom]

lol, absolutely.

[hobbes1]

I am back to being chained to my desk though.

And it looks so lovely when you struggle.

To: Sea Dragon

Now I'm jealous.

[Bella_Bru]

I meant Mistress. Oh no, we have not yet married. When we do, it's going to be a big ole' Vegas bash.

[xsmommy]

i meant prissy in the best possible way ; )

[Bella_Bru]

Isn't being back in that dungeon that some folks call an "office" somehow comforting?

[Argh]

Well, welcome back to the grind. And stay away from those damn monstous sharks. Did you photograph any that looked (or acted) like Al Sharkton (snicker)? I'll look forward to your pictures.

"The moyel moiled for several hours, until he realized the baby's name was Hillary."

[Argh]

BWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAhahaha....

[hobbes1]

Hell, cut away, She's all P*!ck.

[TxBec]

I don't wear gloves to garden.

[SeaDragon]

And why are you jealous, my sweet tiger?

[TheGrimReaper]

Go to the chalkboard and write 10 times:
THEGrimReaper
THEGrimReaper
THEGrimReaper

That skirt will require some hiking on the way home, too, I presume??

[hobbes1]

Your Boss' reply ; )
