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....

Happy Birthday, Doubled!!!

Do you have a word you'd like to see used? Freepmail me, and if it has not been used in a while, I will add it to our list.

prevaricate\prih-VAIR-uh-kayt\, intransitive verb:

To depart from or evade the truth; to speak with equivocation.

Etymology: Prevaricate derives from the past participle of Latin praevaricari, "to pass in front of, or over, by straddling; to walk crookedly; to collude," from prae, "before, in front of" + varicare, "to straddle," from varicus, "straddling," from varus, "bent."

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Bring to booze, the presents, the food. It's party time.

I would be prevaricating if I said I was functioning yet this morning.

[Gabz]

just read your comments from the other thread about your paint. Glad to hear you're pleased with it. i agree with the contractor about the white ceiling - it does make a difference.

Except for the inside of the windows, jax bedroom is finished and we got her shelves up and all furniture in place last night.

Today I start on the wall paper in the kitchen.

[Gabz]

I guess everyone is sleeping in this morning - do you think they all partied too much last night???

[xsmommy]

sounds like you are making lots of headway. i envy your wallpapering skills. my SIL does great wallpapering. i have zero patience and i know i would do a lousy job of it. so is this the chili pepper room? i forget what will have the chilis on, the wallpaper or the curtains?

[xsmommy]

i slept in an extra hour. xshub left for San Antone this AM, so i had to get him up at my normal time for his flight, then i went back to sleep for an hour since i have to do the school dropoff as well as pickup while he is gone. i wanted to sleep more.

[Gabz]

the chili pepper are on the curtains but the room colors will be the yellow, green, and red of peppers.

I'm using paintable wallpaper with a nondescript textured pattern which covers a multitude of sins and defects in the walls and doesn't need to be match sheet for sheet - makes the cutting and hanging process that much easier!!!

[Gabz]

good for you. With me it was just the opposite.

Hubby left here at some ungodly hour like 4 am and I just couldn't go back to sleep when I woke up at 5:30.

I'll be leaving momentarily to do the drop off routine. I get to do both drop off and pick up everyday.

We had quite a row last night about this last minute garbage of him having to go out of town. I asked him what would have happened had I had a job? It seems that there was one openning for this class and it was a choice between my hubby and another guy. The only difference in family situation between them is the other guy's wife works and I don't.

I don't prevaricate because all the facts are not yet known. I varicate as events unfold unfold, when necessary. It's easier to postvaricate since you know what has already transpired and what varications have been made. Prevarication can change the way events would have happened because false information is introduced into the equation and taken into account.

Sloth.

[NeoCaveman]

So that's one out of seven checked off the list.

Good Morning!

[hobbes1]

Man, you guys are slipping....Prevaricate...and it takes this long to get the former Prevaricator-in-Chief ?

Ahhhm...Only gonna say this one more time..I want you to listen...I did NOT have sexual relations with that Woman........Miss Lewinsky...

Well now, that all depends on what the meaning of is, is....if is means is, and never was that would be one thing, but if is means....

[NeoCaveman]

Must we rehash this...

...I did NOT have sexual relations with that Woman........Miss Lewinsky...

Clearly he was addressing Miss Lewinsky, the "that woman" was a reference to Hillary!

[NeoCaveman]

The former prevaricator in chief should be drug out in the street and shot

[hobbes1]

ROTFLMAO!

[NeoCaveman]

Saw this on another thread, now this is funny
