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 noticed you waxing philosphically over there.

I wouldn't want to razor hopes, but she should be cut to the quick at the shear suggestion...

Oh, never mind...

So it looks like ex-Mayors are running the state of NJ now. And I don't mean Mayor McCheesy. The news around here was that the budget was being held up by ex-Mayor Sharpie James. Saints preserve us!

Temerara-boom-de-yay, perhaps?

I thought tempara-bump-de-gay was what happens when a happy San Franciscan knocks over the bottle of water-colored paints.

And here I was thinking her wax job was last week.

Or was that her moon waxing last week? ... (Waning now though as it gets smaller.)

Caught in the act! Actually, I was too shy to ask for help on how to post the picture from my PC into either my profile or onto the thread.

First you need to get the pick out onto a server. There are a couple of free ones, but they usually tack their logo onto your pics.

Do you have a photo sever?

[hobbes1]

Turned you on did it?

[Argh]

I'm just full of good ideas Miss Gabrielle, but for some strange reason no one ever wants to hear them...

[lds23]

I have about 10MB available associated with my e-mail account. I've never really used it.

So I would upload the picture onto the personal web space they offer, then link to it on the profile?

[RikaStrom]

That's right. :-)

You know, I think I have a personal website with my roadrunner, I will have to call and check... (musing to self)

That's terrific - chamber music always suffered in Montreal unless there were HUGE names involved (Perlman, Ashkenazy, et al). By the way, I LOVE chamber music (esp. Brahms).

XS - Have you been shaving with Occam's razor again?

All - I have to say bye for the day. I'm taking a neighbor and our son's into NYC this afternoon. I won four tickets to the Yankees/Indians game this evening. We are going to do the stadium tour and then see the game.

A quick Yankee trivia question. Who are the two former Cardinals who have plaques in Monument Park? I'll give you one because the answer is so easy, Rodger Marris. Who's the other one? Answer tomorrow with the buffet.

BTW - Camle - I think I have a couple of cans of Old Milwaukee or bottles of Rolling Rock around that you can ice down.
