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....

The Question said all "smart people"...You would then by definition be expected to know how a man thinks...

We need a birthday book in here. I've got your date on my calendar!

I hope you got that cause I said it twice for your benefit.

Or I wasn't sure it posted the first time.

I am posting this look at Norway's unique zeitgeist because I would really, really like someone to explain to me this story's final sentence.

Oh, and if anyone is curious about how things are going in Singapore, I can inform you that their toilets are still happy.

That was my mistake, approaching the question as a man would...how silly of me. ;)

I really don't know - in fact I had heard nothing about the web site until today.

I need to go pick our blueberries before the cardinals finish them off.

Don't the cardinals have enough to do keeping the bishops in line without going around swiping blueberries?

I just re-submitted the info and got an immediate email response so now I'm on the list. Whew.

Speaking of birthdays, xs, are we going to have class on July 4? If not, we should celebrate your birthday on the 3rd or the 7th. Which would you prefer?

Personally, I think we should celebrate it on Friday, July 25th. If we celebrate it this early, she'll forget all about the celebration by the time her real b-day gets here.

The younger they are the quicker they adopt speech patterns. You'll have to gently lead her through it. People ask my son and daughter why they don't have heavier suthren accent. They say "dad helped us outgrow it". I grew up here and like to write suthren but I don't speak it except for fun.

Believe me I understand - I grew up in Brooklyn and I only tawk da tawk fa fun, too!!!!

Oh, are we back to the Twiggy era?

Haven't seen any recent photos of her.

Re: Happy Toilets

"We spend almost three years of our lives on the toilet. It's natural and it's normal, so let's learn to say: 'Wow! That's a great toilet!'"

How on earth can that be said with a straight face. ROTFL.

[secret garden]

Consider yourself smacked.

Here's a thread just for you!!!!
