Word For The Day, Wednesday 11/06/02
The Verbivores | 11/06/02

Posted on 11/06/2002 8:17:00 AM PST by Bella_Bru

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....


circumambient/sur-kuhm-AM-bee-uhnt\, adjective:

1. Surrounding; being on all sides; encompassing.

Etymology: Circumambient is from Latin circum , "around, round about, on all sides" + ambire , "to go around, to surround," from amb- , "on both sides, around" + ire , "to go."

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

It's a marvelous day, Tiger.

We're still waiting on the results from the absentee ballots for Matt Salmon. He may win by one vote. But then who cares. One vote is one vote.

Every state in the union, excepting Kalifornia is less Communiost than NJ.

I feel like I live in one of those Eastern European Satellites of the USSR.

I understand they are now changing the liscense plates from "Garden State" to "Crime does Pay"

Hello slip Check out this pic of a flashover we had here.

As usual no one had marshmellows.

Ranchpunk is playing varsity basketball as a sophmore and its keeping him busy, and tired which is good.

I finally got rid of the new young hispanic worker, my wife was starting to talk with an accent.

LOL!!!!!!!

I'm not hung over - just over tired.

Smokers won majorly in Delaware yesterday. Anti-smokers kicked out of the state House and major opposition to the governor's 50 cents a pack increase holding the majority in both chambers!!!!!!!

I'm basically a very happy camper today.

Homework:

(I will type quietly .. Teach has a headache....)

History lesson: Drake and Magellan "lit up" the world's circumambient knowledge when they successfully got their expeditions through all the dangers around the world.

Kinda like Bush did when he succesfully avoided the democrat's attempts at stealing yesterday's elections.....

Let's see, Joe. A little over a month ago we had a flood on the homefront. It has been a mess, to say the least. Right now the tiling folks (all three Republican, I might add) are here tiling the home.

I've had pressing (so to speak) issues. LOL!

That flashover photo, I'm sure, will be picked up by Cyber. Nice flames. I hope no one got injured. But that's one nice photo.

my wife was starting to talk with an accent.

Well, we can't have that, can we? You might get a Swedish housekeeper. They have that nice accent that everyone enjoys. Plus their meatballs are the best . . .

Varsity basketball as a Sophomore? Wow! He must be as good as his dad. LOL!

With all the joy circumambient
Wyoming has elected a democRunt
It's really not bad
Although I'm sad
Back east he'd pull a reverse Jeffer's stunt.

Although stacked on the demo side of the ledger, the new gov of Wyoming (I am sure he will be called Gov Dave) David Freudenthal is not what you call a hard left person. He would be a Republican anywhere in the northeast part of the country or the left coast.

Har! Today, I'm sitting next to Miss Slippy in the lab at home. We're watching the tile guys finish up...

Bittersweet day-after here. Pleased as punch we have the Senate back, but unhappy Salmon appears to be losing.

Happy that the redistricting scheme hatched by the 'Craps blew up in their faces big time, but cheesed off that AZ's two new congressional seats split between us and them.

It looks like we did take back the state legislature in the process.

You've got that great of a body, Dain? I haven't seen any photos . . .

I'm sure a lot of Coquettes would like to see a photo, also.

Same here - but at least Biden is no longer Chair of Foreign relations and will not be in majority of Judiciary.

If that "we" describes smokers - that's sure what happened here in Delaware!!

R's picked up a few extra seats in the state House, but the Republican House, Democrat Senate split remains the same in Delaware.
