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....
perorate \PUR-uh-rayt\, intransitive verb:
perorates, perorating; perorated
perorational; adjective
peroration; noun
1. To conclude or sum up a long discourse.
2. To speak or expound at length; to declaim.
3. To make a peroration; to harangue. [Colloq.]
Our mother favored a staccato, stand-up style; if our father could perorate, she could condense.
--Annie Dillard, "The Leg In The Christmas Stocking: What We Learned From Jokes," New York Times, December 7, 1986

Homework:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn.
The word requires much effort this morning, as befits a long discourse or activity.
If more Americans gave as much attention to their children's futures as they to their perorecreational fantasies with the naked actresses on HBO and Showtime, our politcal system might be much improved.

I was asked to - considering 've been b!!ching about it for the past few months if the city goes through with the hearing Monday night.
I'm sure they will because the owner has gone WAY past the 90 he had to at least repair the exterior after the fire.
It has had a direct adverse impact on my ability to sell my property and the city knows I plan on holding them as responsible as I hold the owner of it.
It's interesting that I haven't gotten a summons from the city for not having acceded their order to remove some dead tree limbs in my yeard.
They let this crapola go on and on - but tell me I have 5 days to comply - I don't think so.

If Seanny thinks that more than 80K+ users are all going to agree and be in lockstep then he's got bigger issues to deal with than whether we drove him away.
To: xsmommy
I am sorry. I didnt mean to force him into such an admission.
To:Hobbes1; xsmommy
No.It is Alright. I have been needing to come out of the closet for a while now.
My Toby has been pressuring me....
