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....

No kidding. At this point I am happy I have a job to go too.

I saw the info, I'll try to make it, it depends on the boss person. But think positive.

morning XS. it seems that you tend to have some sort of facination with the male anatomy versus sharp objects and cutting.
Couple that with the high-pitched Mr. Hannity and that conjours up some interesting visuals...

I was circumcised when I was eight days old. Hurt like Hell. I couldn't walk for over a year.
