[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....

Teacher's note:
I know some of you wonder why I post WFTD just after midnight every night. The reason is simple. I am on the west coast. If I post it when I get up, it would be late morning for many of you, and I do not want any of you to think that I forgot to post it. Also, I know many of you are irked by the fact that you do not always receive a grade and critique, or that the critique is non-existent. Once again, by the time I get up and get around to this thread, it is upwards of 200 posts. My apologies if any of you are annoyed beyond belief.

supposititious\suh-poz-uh-TISH-uhs\, adjective:

1. Fraudulently substituted for something else; not being what is purports to be; not genuine; spurious; counterfeit.
2. Hypothetical; supposed.

Etymology: Supposititious is from Latin suppositicius, from suppositus, past participle of supponere, "to put under, to substitute," from sub-, "under" + ponere, "to put." It is related to suppose.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Oh lordy, don't let that one out of the cage, we'll never get him contained again.

I will take your word for it that the good guys are winning. I only have to work a couple more hours. Then I am out of here!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

xs told me to come tell the class........ I had a 2 hour interview this morning.... the two guys who interviewed me were nice, told me about the job.... pretty routine..... the woman grilled me! lol.....I really thought she probably didn't like me........ apparently I have no ability to judge how women react to anything..........

Anyway.....I won't be in class next week........but I will check in when I can..... I might have internet privledges at lunch.....I'll ask...............

Great news, TX Girl!!!

[VRWCmember]

That's funny Argh. (You might have noticed your alter-ego inspired my tagline)

What do you think of your quebec scum hockey fans who booed the American National Anthem in the game against the NY Islanders the other day? I will not boo the singing of "Oh Canada", but if I attend a sporting event here in Dallas featuring a Canadian team I will be awfully tempted to sit down during the Canadian anthem. I guess I shouldn't diss the whole country over the actions of a few hooligans however.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thank you all........ it's been a long time since I worked outside of our home........ I've been so worried about finding a job I didn't think about actually GETTING one.....lol..........

On the bright side, my husband will be cooking and cleaning and I can come home and sit......lol

Don't forget to give him the occasional steak and accoutrements.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Now my Marine was just telling me that yesterday was a special day...... were you aware? It was supposed to be celebrated with steak, and something I can't post here....... lol.....I asked him how he wanted his steak?

Accoutrements R Us.......lol

[Argh]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thanks...... lol...... I guess that's almost as good as whispering it in my ear......;^)

What can I say, Quebecois can be awfully childish. I remember a Montreal Machine game back in the early 90's in the World League of American Football (which has now shrunk down to NFL Europe or whatever it's called). Anyway, Canada was going through our Meech Lake agonies (WAY too long a story to tell here). The bottom line of it was, Quebec was all insulted by some national referendum that seemed to (but didn't really) insult Quebec. The hilarious thing was, Quebec (barely) voted against it too! Anyway, the young hotheads were angry, so at that week's Machine game they politely applauded the American anthem and booed the Canadian one like crazy! The Machine never had anthems performed again during the rest of their (brief) history. I lived in Montreal for 28 years, and love the city, but the French part of the population has a large percentage of very childish people. Canadiens' fans used to have more class, but not anymore, I guess.

[Argh]

You want me to whisper something in your ear?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

lol........ I have to go now..... volleyball..... we'll discuss this later.............

[EODGUY]

That is wonderful news!

I hope you enjoy your new job, although you will be sincerely missed.

God bless,

EODGUY

Pitt is beating Wagner, Grimmy. Vast, which team are you rooting for?

[RikaStrom]

Congrats on the job Whyisa! Good for you.

I know all about only getting internet priveleges at lunch. Except I think I kinda blew that this week. Oh well. LOL

[Robert A Cook PE]

Ping!

Pong!

Ping!

Pong ....

Oh wait. We can't keep going on like this.

( Xsex doesn't get it. )

If the war started on Friday the 13th, would the democrats also complain about George W. being supposititious about protecting America's interests?
