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....

Our security light toppled in a storm - I'm still waiting for the power company to come and remove the downed pole and replace it and the light.

Thanks for the reminder that I need to call them yet again.

i saw a pair of black flats that had bees on them, i wanted them badly, but did not indulge myself.

[camle]

hmmm... speakign of power companies, I have to setup a meeting in Maine with their power company....

What? I think I must be doing something wrong here.

I have one of those Panasonic massage chairs for my back. Can't get to it because it's in the lab (office), and it has Cyber's crap all over it. I'd have to lift the box of paper to get to it.

Great idea! Let's take up a collection of donated clues, write them down and send them to these idiots.

[xsmommy]

as for recreational rubbing....xsbrownie will give me footrubs with lotion, etc. just like the asian ladies at the nail salon. if xshub and i are alone, it is time for business ; )

[Laura Earl]

These were flat slides, and the colors were all beachy. I could just see me wearing them to go out to dinner at the beach. I did go back a couple of days later, and they were gone. Oh well....

[Texan5]

I don't either-not unless she's had him on a very short leash from the git-go.

[Conspiracy Guy]

All dogs like beer.

[Laura Earl]

I think it is altogether possible.

[xsmommy]

if quilla is telling the truth, i still wouldn't want the guy. i don't want anyone fawning all over me like that. it just isn't right. i will take someone pulling their equal share and be very happy, instead. xshub will pick up, or unload/load the dishwasher, he will even iron. but i make sure i am doing it at least half the time.

[Slip18]

Let's have a party!

[Gabz]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Mind your own business - better yet open up your own"

It's a start!!!!!!!

[xsmommy]

they sound really cute! i hate buying things that i can just wear with one or two things though. i bought a pair of lily pulitizer sandals in a teal blue, and i just don't have enough to wear them with.

[Slip18]

I agree with your assessment.

[Gabz]

That's not true - I've had several dogs that hated beer.

I had a cocker spaniel that loved Bailey's Irish Cream - but hated beer.

My chow used to love it - until a friend got her drunk one night and she had a hangover the next day - she never touched the stuff again.

[camle]

um... youse two goils wanna party??? sounds like sapphire time again Sapphire Alert!

[xsmommy]

i would feel like a lazya$$ freeloader if someone was doing for me all the time! i am always conscious of doing for him, if he is doing for me.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yeah that was posted here on FR last week. I thought you pinged me then?

[Laura Earl]

I end up wearing the same 2-3 pairs most of the time. Yesterday, I wore a pair of sandals with turquoise and amber stones on them. That was the 3rd time I've worn them since buying them back in the spring.
