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

Homework:
The last time Hillary spoke, or, as she was heard to eluciferdate, she was (as usual) still lying about her record.
Then again, the last time Reno went out, she also was seen to eLuciferdate .... Which is better than getting arrest for picking up an under-age prostiture in Miami as a District Attorney.

Theresa HEINZ Kerry, ketchup heiress, widow of John Heinz, former Republican senator from PA, killed in a plane crash umpteen years ago. She is originally Portugese, or some island off the coast over there, i can't quite recall. She is VERY outspoken, will embarrass the living $hit out of him before it is all over. Still calls John Heinz her husband and just changed her voter registration to Dem from Pub, to be able to vote for horseface in the primary. there are articles about her all the time, next time i see one, i'll ping you. she will give him a FIT, i have no doubt about it.

Dear Miss Rika,
I am eloooosidating the soil today. My garden is finally in, and I must turn hard clay into very rich soil for my winter planting.
I have a boo-boo blister on my thumb from the rake.
Hope all is well with everyone!
BTW, my niece is moving here in two weeks. She's been Zoned! I am so excited. She and her soon-to-be husband were here yesterday. My brother and his wife (the niece's parents) will be here on Saturday the 16th. I haven't seen that part of the family in two-and-a-half years. I can't wait.
My niece told me I was the most relaxed she has ever seen me. Must be that Liberty Guy.

Good for you two.
Ok, I am going back to work, see y'all later.

I'm not planting yet. We do have two growing seasons here. It's really cool. I'll get my seedlings going quite soon. I've put down 120 pounds of gypsum so far. I'm doing a back garden first. The front garden will be for my Tea Roses, and I can't put them in until about November.
This is so much fun. The horrible heat is gone. Lots of moisture in the air. Come January when y'all are freezing to death, I'll bring in roses for you! LOL!
The 'bot got off to Camp EatABug yesterday. He looked so handsome in his camos. Cyber and I almost started crying when we left him.

Didn't he look fabulous?
I've got to get out of my moisturized skin. After my bath, I'll get the film developed.

Is Kerry still married to this lady? Sounds like this couple could get very entertaining if Kerry ends up being the Dem running in 2004.
