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....

This is another true story:

My niece was a virgin when she got married, but she had been engaged in O-S prior to being married. So does that mean she had sex? And why did she tell me about it . . .

Martha Stewart's stocks have been clobbered again today. She's only worth $420 million now.

While we're at it.....
Looks like certain members of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, CALIFORNIA (where else?) need to plan on long term accomodations at the Hitler Hilton as well.

We just passed notes to each other in code. The nuns could never figure it out (or maybe they didn't want to figure it out). I mean how difficult is Pig Latin???

As I suspected, that soft-nailing stuff can't be much of a workout. If I wasn't worried about being banned, arrested, hung, drawn and quartered, I might suggest some alternate "workout activities" for you and your beloved.

If the Alzheimers and lack of practice hadn't made me forget them. :^)

But I'll bet Miss C remembers some good stuff, though!
