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....

pandemian \pan*dem*ee*an\, adjective
pandemianly; adverb
pandemiousness; noun

1. Vulgar
2. Sensual

The characteristics of Aphrodite have bewildered philosophers who, like Plato, made a distinction between the two aspects of the goddess, one Uranian "celestial," as the goddess of pure love, and Pandemian, or "popular," as the goddess presiding over ordinary love affairs.

Etymology: I couldn’t find the etymology, double grades to the student who brings it to class!

no, gabz. it was different. xspup never smelled excessively like dog, except when he would come in wet from the rain. xs2pup had an insidious doggie odor that we ALL smelled and it wasn't pleasant. Now the groomer used q-tips to clean his ears out (i hadn't thought of that, but i will too) and i don't know what he did when he bathed him, but the puppy shampoo i used didn't do squat to get rid of the smell. it is hard to describe, but after a year and a half with xspup, he never smelled like this one did.

heck no. xsboy starts the last week of August. the other 2 start the day after labor day. then begins the saga of the xshousehold with 3 kids in 3 diff schools, 3 diff school day schedules and 3 diff sets of vacation days. NOT FUN!

[Gabz]

I still have a few minutes - I did a bunch of stuff while hubby was taking Jax to school, and right now he has half the electric turned off switching out wall sockets.

Good Morning All!

it's a movie with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, where a teenager and her mom end up in each others bodies, via some Asian magic trick, and they learn what it is like to be each other, which helps their relationship. i understand it is a remake, i never saw the original, but i think Jodie Foster was the kid in the orginal.

[xsmommy]

so you finally dragged your butt in ; ) ?

[RikaStrom]

Well have fun then!

I am off to the real world, Later gang!

[xsmommy]

why would you want to go THERE???? ; ) have a good day teach.

[Conspiracy Guy]

About what? Brass needs polishing to look good.

[Gabz]

I know the doggie odor you're talking about. Anisette has a different type of one, that nothing will get rid of because it is part of her being mostly water dog - there is a certain oil in their coats. Fortunately I have never found it to be an offensive smell. although I do know there are some dog odors that are offensive!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

There have been several male and female versions and I wish people could get a fresh idea.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yeah the real world sux.

[Gabz]

EWWWWWW Yuck!!!!!!!!

Well, try to have a good day!!!

Yep. My son has begged to go see Pirates of the French Caribbean today since it's the last day of their summer vacation. Both of their new teachers called here yesterday to welcome them to their classes and I couldn't be more pleased.
I stayed up too late last night and was perusing the religion threads again this am.

The two sluts are the two female porn stars that have entered the race. I believe that before the fat lady sings, we will see that many more gov wannabes will prove to be sluts, politically speaking at least.

If California began it's goobernatorial debates today, and gave each candidate only 3 minutes to speak, it is unlikely that they would be finished by election day (Oct. 7).

Even the WSJ has something to say about the pandemian voting pattern at this year's Episcopal Convention.

Like Gallagher!

Lucky you-I have to deliver the bid I'm working on right now as soon as I'm done to a custimer 25 miles away, then go to the market on the way back in the nearest town. But after that, I'm off till I have to fix supper. I love "Freaky Friday", by the way, I've watched it with my daughter countless times. She and I also watch "Charlotte's Web" and "The Halloween Tree" at least once a year.

[xsmommy]

the older two want to see that, but i know xsbrownie would be too scared, and she has no desire. it is supposed to be really really good, from what i have heard. Turns out that xsboy would also like to see Freaky Friday, so the girls and i will shop while he has his golf clinic.
