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....

tetchy\TECH-ee\, adjective:

Peevish; testy; irritable.

Etymology: Tetchy probably comes from Middle English tecche, "a bad habit," from Old French tache, teche, "a spot, stain, blemish, habit, vice."

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

[hobbes1]

no need to be insulting. i am conservative in all things....; )

Odd. The lovely Mrs. Dupa recently commented on a related subject. She was listening to Dr. Joy Brown, whom provides the Mrs. with more entertainment than inspiration, as my better half doesn't often agree with the doc. So Dr. Joy was bragging to some caller that she was married, had a kid and got her Ph.D. at 24. We both agreed that that is not something to brag about - it was most likely a half-ass way to go about life. What are the odds full attention was to be paid to all fields? Or that youth would make good choices is such a mad rush?

Small wonder that marriage ended in divorce.

Not to get too tetchy, but what in $%^& is going on hear? Mr. Liberal Norman Lear to co-write some South Park episodes. To quote Cartman "I hate hippies" and "Screw you guys I'm going home." This bites the big one. As if there wasn't eough bad news between the "filibuster" and the war that never starts.

[xsmommy]

personally i feel that marrying early does mean a greater chance of divorce. people are not even who they are going to end up BEING yet, and they are married to someone who doesn't know who HE IS, either.

[hobbes1]

Lear, 80, is best known for such politically charged comedies in the 1970s

Just what every hip thought provoking show needs.

An eighty year old dinosaur, that is about 30 years past his prime.

[hobbes1]

people are not even who they are going to end up BEING yet, and they are married to someone who doesn't know who HE IS, either.

But I thought the Idea was to GROW...together..lol

[xsmommy]

you can continue to grow together, after each of you knows who you are. and i know you agree with this jagoff, since you got married late in life as well.

[xsmommy]

and their is no doubt that mrs. hobbes has the patience of Job to put up with your crap.

but then, you are a great househusband, so that makes up for it. ; )

[hobbes1]

I got married late in Life as a Consequence. Not as an Intention.

[xsmommy]

so it took awhile to find someone who would put up with ya, so count yer blessings!

[hobbes1]

and their is no doubt that mrs. hobbes has the patience of Job to put up with your crap.

but then, you are a great househusband, so that makes up for it. ; )

One, I am a charming and wonderful, not to mention Brilliant and Appealing individual.

And two, I have....talents....that would make any woman turn a blind eye to any fault she was to discover..(if there was one in the first place which there isn't)

[xsmommy]

as, 4th Cir. court of appeals, Judge Dennis Shedd is quoted as having said to an attorney appearing before him last week.." your endorsement of yourself is duly noted...."

[hobbes1]

Ok....Duly noted. I guess I shall have to call a witness ; )

[xsmommy]

[hobbes1]

You hate it when I nail you like that dont you ?

[xsmommy]

you call that nailing?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Ouch! That question is as hurtful as "is it in yet?"

[xsmommy]

i know he can do better. he has been off his game lately. no disrespect to the tiger is intended
