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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

On the way to chill down the beer vat. I was first in and last out here at the office today (again).

[Conspiracy Guy]

I hold that honor here most everyday. Git home and get the beer poll cooled down. The vat is too small.

Actually, xsteen and i took xs2pup to Dogma Bakery, which is a bakery for dogs.... and bought him a mailman shaped cookie. : )

xshub invited me to dinner just the two of us tomorrow. My bday is Sunday, and we will likely go to brunch , which, when we go, is the M.O.T.D (meal of the day) i tell the kids, eat up bc this is the MOTD!

[xsmommy]

thanks LE, and i will bring leftovers!

[xsmommy]

that is an amazing story, but i guess in CA, and even in lotsa other Dem states, not that surprising. Juries often feel their sworn duty is to redistribute income.

[Conspiracy Guy]

bet the mailman is now deceased. Have a great Bday. I have fond memorie of thirty. It started out a rough year but lots of good things happened.

Birthdays should be like February 14, where steak is half of the story. And since it's your birthday, there's no reason you couldn't be on the receiving end of the equation.

If I have offended anyone with my sappho-ish comment,...

Offended? Never! But some of the croqs might be taking prostate cancer prevention measures after having fantasies inspired by your post.

If I have offended anyone with my sappho-ish comment

then you best scroll up, take a step back and see what room you've wandered into; 'cuz it ain't WFTD

[Conspiracy Guy]

I accused her of running everyone off by getting hot for a soap babe. When the thread stops like it did all at once it gets spooky.

[Conspiracy Guy]

BTW we just moved from Bolivia to Latvia.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Your cryptic comment has me fascinated

[NeoCaveman]

If I have offended anyone with my sappho-ish comment, I am truly sorry. I will be more mindful of the sensitivities of others from this point forward.

The only offense is not going into more detail about your sapphic fantasy ;-)

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Why would you assume it's a fantasy?

[NeoCaveman]

BTW we just moved from Bolivia to Latvia.

People there are really smart they know how to speak Latvian.

[NeoCaveman]

Why would you assume it's a fantasy?

What are the odds she met that particular soap star?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

point well taken

[NeoCaveman]

I would play on both teams for her.

Mmmmm Vanessa Marcil... drool.

[NeoCaveman]

Killed his wife 'cause she weighed a ton... Psycho Dad!

They just showed the Thanksgiving episode where Kelly throse the turkey out the window. Very funny but a blantant ripoff of WKRP.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Did someone bring up a show with Jan Smithers in it????
