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....

Hobbster...I noticed a little bulge in her shorts or was she just happy to see you? Wait...I took anatomy...what am I thinking???

Thanks for the pic.

Oh cool - I love elephants!!! I actually started a collection of elephant statues and stuff shortly after Jax was born.

[EODGUY]

Thanks Slip.

Poor EOD - 3 days of rain would drive me batty.

We had a few thunderstorms last night - of course the first one came through before I remembered to take my laundry off the line!!!

[Slip18]

You're so very welcome!

[EODGUY]

Just birthday hats?????????????????

I'd have set the alarm if I had known that!!!!!

As far as the candles go Slip, I've reached the age where my insurance requires a rider on my policy if I want to actually ignite the appropriate number of candles. And I have to alert the fire department first.

I have an appointment and will be back in about an hour or so.

Thanks everyone for a very nice welcome this morning.

[VRWCmember]

well here we sit 3 coquettes with bday hats on, waiting for EOD....

If you were sitting there in your birthday suits rather than with birthday hats, I'm sure he'd come running.

[VRWCmember]

but I fear classmates who shall remain nameless will probably have already have eaten same by the time I arrive.

Who, me? (said VRWCmember as he brushed the icing from his mustache and the tip of his nose)

Oh he'd be coming quickly....

Happy Birthday to you
Cha-cha-cha!
Happy Birthday to you
Cha-cha-cha!
Happy Birthday dear EODGUY
Happy Birthday to you
Cha-cha-cha!

Now grab a fire extinguisher before your candles set the town ablaze!

[xsmommy]

[secret garden]

I always thought only plebeians wore these type of coats.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Hillary thinks we are plebeian
I wonder what image she's seein'
For her ankles and thighs
She won't garner a prize
And her pants could fit you, him, and me in

[secret garden]

And I ROR every time!

[secret garden]

Too bad our WFTD doesn't rhyme with jowls.

[xsmommy]

And her pants could fit you, him, and me in

LMAO!!!

[ricpic]

The discourse on WFTD invariably devolves from the patrician to the plebeian. And we are most definitely not amuse-ed. Harumph harumph.

[VRWCmember]

Sounds like a place Cruella could call home.

[Gabz]

OK, I'll bite - what's the "cha-cha-cha thing???"
