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.

Luckily, I missed that one.

I have never heard of anything so stupid. Next they will be braiding it and adding beads.

orchestra members are one of the least appreciated segments of society

So sadly true. Chamber music doesn't do much to help fill the coffers either, unfortunately they must also spend a fair amount of time teaching snot-nosed brats music.

Next they will be braiding it and adding beads.

I've already heard of that being done, some time ago, actually.

[NeoCaveman]

It's a bit of a dilemma: deciding which method of getting the kids to our summer vacation spot is more temerarious. With the seemingly total ineptitude of airport screeners, along with the airline's unwillingness to do anything but beg for more taxpayer money, I don't really want to fly.

However, that means driving them for two days each way. Perhaps discussing this article with them beforehand will make the drive more pleasant: To Spank or Not to Spank.

hey lds, not to nag or anything, but didn't you say you were going to put a pic from the engagement party up on your profile page....hmmmm???

Temerara-boom-de-yay, perhaps?

[RikaStrom]

Good grief!
