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....

You are both correct - I commented that the rest of us had moved on but s/h/it had not read far enough ahead in the thread to see that - just jumped right back into where the thread had left of when having left.
I don't understand folks that can't understand they are in a place where they are not welcome!!!

It was lively, as it ever is when we get together, we had good food, good conversation, and if I am not mistaken, we scared the heck out of the waitstaff! I loved the speech, and I'm really sorry about that poor waiter guy.
I just know they have insurance.. but never get between me and a raw steak.
To: RikaStrom
You're lucky!
Hubby is away this week and bar and restaurant in his hotel are non-smoking. He's very resourceful - he's found a locals bar within a block or two and the folks there have led him to the best chinese and italian take-out places in the area.
As soon as I've got sond capabilities on a computer I will seek out the files from you or COB1

Why stop at just the thread?
To: Gabz
Darnnit Dubya, sweets, you've got the name wrong - it's s/h/it - it's never spelled out completely!!!! Ahh I see. I've always spelled it out, but then read it fast for the same effect :-)
To: RedBloodedAmerican; Gabz
Why stop at just the thread? Beacuse s/h/it has been around since 1998. (sigh)
To: one_particular_harbour
Looks like I've missed most of the fun.
That's what I get for going out for a manicure and for cooking dinner. Fried chicken, anyone?

Was it buffalo?
To: dubyaismypresident
The first time I did that was on a board that included a few really vicious anti-smokers.
No one could accuse me of using a vulgarity because I was just being non-discriminatory in my identification of gender.
My contribution to internet shorthand - LOL!!!
