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!

"You planted a greenhouse?????!!!!!!

Well, technically, she has been planted IN a greenhouse, but let's not get picky about the sorted details.

[hobbes1]

And A white house, and a brick house, and a blue house...shall we move on to the Autos?

[Gabz]

I wish I was able to start seeds right now - but with time being so short for getting out of here - I just can't take on aother project at the moment.

[xsmommy]

no. you have your hands full and seeds sprout fast, get moved in and you can plant right in the ground. i normally don't start plants, but i was so anxious to plant SOMETHING last weekend, this is what i did.

[xsmommy]

more antiwar crap.

[hobbes1]

More people to dumb to have a coherent opinion.

Those Ditzy Chicks are going to be real popular next time they try to play the Grand Ole Opry....

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Basically, while on tour (sponsored by Lipton!) in Europe, they announced to the crowd that they were ashamed that the President is from Texas...... and downed his pro-War feelings.............

I'm a fan, or was...... I just bought a CD last night...damn it.............. I plan to contact my local station in Philly and tell them I will change the station each time they play a Dixie Chicks song......... and I'll also contact Lipton..............

"(Local) I'm feeling testchy today since we have our second exam in the Physics class on Relatavity on Monday. Vectors, Lorentz transforms, 4-vector matrices and tensors, transformed magnetic and electricl fields at .9c, etc. Messy stuff. The varients and covarients (and their inverses) are tricky though"

How come you always get to have all the fun?

[VRWCmember]

Good Morning Miss Bella.

[EODGUY]

It's pretty rare for country artists to act the way the Dizzie Chicks did, but I guess the new generation of country singers represent a new breed.

I've got one of their albums.......I can't wait until the skeet range opens.

[xsmommy]

they have seriously miscued with their audience. country fans will not put up with that crap.

[xsmommy]

xshub said their careers will be going the way of Steve Earle.

[xsmommy]

i have offered Robt my help with his Physics exam, but he has not gotten back to me about that yet.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

It shows a lack of maturity..... they are in England and just going with the anti-war feeling there....... makes you kind of wonder how they would react if playing in Palestine, or to a bunch of KKKer's...... do they actually think before speaking?

[xsmommy]

Do they think they have enough cross-over rock interest to offset the country fans that will abandon them? if so, i think they are in for a big surprise.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

i have offered Robt my help with his Physics exam

You do realize he said physics, and not physical, right?

[Gabz]

I understand the desire to be planting - I wish I were, as well.

I'm so over winter.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Steve who? lol
