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....

Finally, Sadie says she'd go out, but didn't know anyone. Her daughter immediately replies, "Mama! I have someone for you to meet."
Well, it was an immediate hit. They took to one another and after dating for six weeks, he asks her to join him for a weekend in the Catskills.
Their first night there, she undresses, as he does. There she stood, nude, except for a pair of black lacy panties and he in his birthday suit.
Looking at her he asks, "Why the black panties?"
She replies, "My breasts you can fondle, my body is yours to explore, but down there I am still in mourning."
He knows he's not getting lucky that night.
The following night, the same scenario. She's standing there with the black panties on and he is in his birthday suit, except that on his erection he sports a black condom.
She looks at him and asks, "What's with this ... a black condom?"
He replies, "I want to offer my deepest condolences."
ALRIGHT kids I'll be back, I got to go babble about my research for ten to fifteen minutes...
Shuttle disaster disrupts quiet calm of life in
the piney woods - community opens up to help out
Excerpt:
Far from shunning the media, locals have offered umbrellas to reporters taking notes in the rain and telephones to those whose cellular phones can't get a connection in the piney woods. At the Dairy Queen in nearby Pineland, reporters and search and rescue workers can get anything they want for free.
Residents also are offering their homes.
Terry Vaughn, a real estate agent in Hemphill, opened her four-bedroom home to four Dallas technicians who operate global-positioning gear used to pinpoint debris.
"If it had been me, I hope someone would have done it for me," Vaughn said. Besides, with her five children grown and out of the house, Vaughn said, she had room.
Lisa Owens, the director of the Sabine County visitors' bureau, answers an endless stream of calls from residents offering up their rooms, mobile homes and summer cabins. She estimates that about 200 folks helping with the shuttle search are staying in donated homes or marinas and hotels offering reduced rates.
Owens said she's never seen the community come together like it has since Columbia fell.
"The largeness of this event has just erased all the small, petty, daily problems, you know, the silliness that people engage in," Owens said between calls. "It's taken people out of their little, tiny nucleus to see the bigger picture."
Considering 3 of the 4 are constants, are you implying it is only the snow day that sends you over the edge ?
