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....

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

WOW!

Is Whyisa talented or WHAT!

I mean really, boring and stuffin' all of PA all at the same time has GOT to take talent.....

(That or a big mouth and looooooooooong table..)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

But if you have to try to get in, you don't really deserve to be in, do you?

Good point V....... having to try would indicate that it didn't just come naturally to these guys.......and since most guys are sluts anyway, one might have to question their overall manhood manliness........

(Boy am I glad she didn't read #241....)

SENIOR ADS

FOXY LADY: Sexy, fashion-conscious blue-haired beauty, 80's slim, 5'-4" (used to be 5-6), searching for sharp-looking, sharp-dressing companion. Matching white shoes and belt a plus.

LONG-TERM COMMITMENT: Recent widow who has just buried fourth husband looking for someone to round out a six-unit plot. Dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath are not a problem.

SERENITY NOW: I am into solitude, long walks, sunrises, the ocean, yoga and meditation. If you are the silent type, let's get together, take our hearing aids out and enjoy quiet times.

WINNING SMILE: Active grandmother with original teeth seeking a dedicated flosser to share rare steaks, corn on the cob and caramel candy.

BEATLES OR STONES? I still like to rock, still like to cruise in my Camaro on Saturday nights and still like to play the guitar. If you were a groovy chick, or are now a groovy hen, let's get together and listen to my eight-track tapes.

MINT CONDITION: Male, 1922, high mileage, good condition, some hair, many new parts including hip, knee, cornea, valves. Isn't in running condition, but walks well.

MEMORIES: I can usually remember Monday through Thursday. If you can remember Friday, Saturday and Sunday, let's put our two heads together

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Well if she and her Marine don't find jobs soon, she'll either have to sell videos herself or pack up the "cement pond" on the back of a truck and move back to the hills........ thus, no viewing from ladders propped against her house this summer............

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

She did.......she's on the phone now putting out a contract on you.......... if a big Italian guy comes to your door, you'll know it's a gift from me.........

[SeaDragon]

You might ask Miss C aboot my qualities, such as they are, but she's always gallivanting on vacation after sharks and stuff. She's never draggin' her C in here anymore. (Now I'm REALLY in for it!)

You have wonderful qualities but I am not going to tell anyone if you insult my attendence record. Granted I have not been a good student lately but the last time I turned in an assignment, I didn't even get a grade........ :P

[Robert A Cook PE]

Gaack!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Gaack!

Well said Robert......

[VRWCmember]

she'll either have to sell videos herself

Did you leave out the word "of" after videos?

[VRWCmember]

Hey, where'd the pet go?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Actually, yes, I did, thanks for the correction.....but Robert owns the rights - illegal as they may be - voyeur that he is.......

[TheGrimReaper]

Hey, where'd the pet go?

I was just wondering about that myself... but, this does mean we are now free to speculate (speculum?) at length as to her whereabouts, right?

[xsmommy]

child retrieval duties call from time to time, and then the angry horde must be brought in....

[Argh]

I can't decide if you should get an A+ for conspicuous bravery or an F-quad for conspicuous goofiness for voluntarily consorting with sharks.

:^)

[VRWCmember]

child retrieval duties call from time to time, and then the angry horde must be brought in....

Shouldn't xsteen be providing child retrieval taxi services now? Or is she not quite old enough for that yet?

[Robert A Cook PE]

(Look closely and you'll feel xsexmommy drop dead from an overblown anxiety session.....)

(Says loudly)

"No, I think xsteen will student driving in less than 400 days though...."

[xsmommy]

over my dead body will she be driving in 400 days. i don't know what the statutory minimum for a learner's permit is, but she won't get getting it on day one!!!

[VRWCmember]

Welcome to my world. VRWCteenboy just got his DL last week. He has only gotten to take the car out on his own once so far. Of course he thinks he should be able to take it anytime and anywhere he wants to, but it doesn't work that way at our house.
