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....

Amazingly, there is a level of satiety for little girls and birthdays. About halfay through the fireworks last night she wa ready o go home and she was out like a light within 10 minutes after we got home and slept through the night!!!

The Dover fireworks were rather disappointing this year, but I was able to reach my happy level of satiety by watching A&E's rebroadcast of the Boston Pops concert and fireworks late last night.

Hope evryone else had a great holiday!!!

Seems even Seattle might attain tax&spend satiety with its proposed latte levy.

Amazing.

[RikaStrom]

I saw that Arghie. It was a beautiful find.

Apparently living in D.C. and not voting has got them applying (sort of) for reunification with Britain!

Give 'em UK citizenship and then deport them?

[RikaStrom]

Then tell the whiners to move to England!

Did the little one enjoy her birthday/4th/firewords/cake all rolled into one?

I guess it all depends on how one sees things ;-)

Most definitely, sweetie.

[Argh]

See you. Appropriate alliteration always appreciated.

[RikaStrom]

Seattle is desintegrating.

[Gabz]

She had an absolute blast (pun intended!)

We all had a great day. jax spent most of the day chasing my SIL's dog and keeping the 5 adults in stitches in the process.

Sounds like it was a good time. I decided to cull my collection of books. I managed to part with 2 1/4 u-haul book boxes. LOL

[Gabz]

I guess I'm the TKFTD*!!!!

.thread killer for the day!!!!

[Gabz]

Sounds like this Household!!!!!! I won't tell you how many boxes my cookbook collection alone filled.

The local library got 5 boxes of books for the semi annual book sale.

[RikaStrom]

Thread killer?? LOL, I don't think so. It's just everyone is out playing today. :-)

I need to look into whether the ASPCA or Humane Society have a thrift store here in town. I will donate the boxes to them if they do.

[Gabz]

I've done similar - it wasn't for a thrift store for the SPCA - it was their annual "yard sale" fundraiser. I had missed that when we boxed these books and the library has storage space and the SPCA didn't this time around.

I agree that everyone is probably out playing today - I'm taking advantage of hubby being home and mostly in charge of herself!!!

Mark Steyn on Independence Day (no, Democrat lurkers, not the movie, it's the day you'd celebrate if you weren't so full of envy and hate and fecal material and...).

[RikaStrom]

ok gang, I just got the go ahead to hit the trail.

Everyone have a safe and fun weekend and I will see you in the halls this weekend!

[Gabz]
