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....

i would ask that the boys in the class fill out the questionnaire, but i am afraid that they WOULD!!!

[RikaStrom]

I wear gloves when I garden, unless the gloves are missing in action somewhere. Sometimes the dogs pick them up and play ball with them.

. . . servicing him to sleep, probably as he watches The Spice Channel....like all good little cupcakes do for their men. . ."

Is your new moniker "Dead Man Walking"?

[Argh]

I don't blame you, I thought the review was interesting for showing what kind of pathetic crap Hollywood seems to think women would like. And I'm afraid a lot of women are dopey enough to go for this revolting nonsense.

[Argh]

Are you not a good little cupcake, Miss Slippiest With the Mostest? :^)

[Slip18]

Heck, I'm going back and forth on this thread today.

The Tiger would like my new name. It's Cinque, I guess as in kitchen sink.

To keep soil from getting under your nails (even while wearing gloves), put Vaseline under the nail part. Then everything just washes away.

" is there any doubt this guy is serving as his beard?"

In found memory of xsexmommy's love of beards, bees, and manly men who like bees and beards (such as Seanity Pooh Beard on the Foxy news network) ....

I'd recommend you not look at this honey of a picture :

Bella, you and gabz would like this one:

Whilst in the firey mountains last weekend, we could only smoke in our cabin. We could not smoke outside.

"To keep soil from getting under your nails (even while wearing gloves), put Vaseline under the nail part....

But before nailing somebody that way, I thought you put the Valvoline outside the protection...... 8<)

It's pronounced "sank". Shakespeare's "Henry V" sometimes gets referred to as "Hank Sank" (for Henry Cinque).

hey slippy, i have another question for ya. i am having a terrible problem with fungus in my wood chips. have you ever seen that? to be indelicate about it, it looks like some animal went and barfed all over the the flower beds. when it first starts it is orangish-yellowish and kind of wet. it hardens to a black/brown hard consistency. i asked at the garden center and they told me that it comes from spores that develop in the wood even before it is chipped, has nothing to do with being cheap wood versus expensive, and that the only thing to do is dig it out, bag it up and throw it out. He also said you can put sulphur on it. I am sick to death of this, because it is spreading like mad, and i am digging it up every evening and find new patches of it the next AM. Of course, the guy said the worst possible thing to do was to spray it with a hose. so what did i have xsboy do before i found out what it was...? you got it.

[Argh]

Good Grief! Well, you said not to look...

I've sometimes wondered just who they are trying to attract when women work so hard for so long in a gym to do this to their bodies:

". . .but let's not open that can of worms again."

Worms are good things. Open up that big old can, Arghie!

[xsmommy]
