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....

"There are only 119 days left until Christmas."

Holy cow!

[Gabz]

And the more times it does pop up - the more people will see it and maybe will start to rethink just how idiotic they really are.

I wish they would remake Gone With The Wind and actually have the movie follow the book closer. She has 3 kids in the book, but only 1 in the movie. I read the book a few times before ever watching the movie and was so disappointed.

[Gabz]

I hate you both.

I haven't even started school shopping (it starts Tuesday) and you're talking about christmas shopping already?????

Sheesh.

[honeygrl]

I've never actually seen Flash Dance.....guess I need to rent it when we rent the new Lord of The Rings movie tonight.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I would have cleaned up the >>> but wanted to pass it on quickly.

[Gabz]

I would like to see them make a movie based on the sequel to GWTW.

You're right about the kids though, I had forgotten that - the movie only deals with bonnieblue.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I LSHPIP.

[Texan5]

ROFLMAO!! I hadn't thought of that!

Homework:

No greater proof of the liberal establishment's delused love for Hillary! can be found than their continued thoughts for her a "beautiful woman" and "loving mother" with "charm (yeah - as like a witch!) and grace" ...

All this adulation even though she continually shows up in public wearing an ugly pantsuit combination with gaudy blouse underneath....

Would anybody really want to feel her terribly tacky tactile textile trousers?

(Perhaps liberals would not decline tactfeely...)

[Slip18]

Honeygrl, if you love music, rent it. It is fantastic and fun.

That stripping momma was on a thread here a while back.

Drat, I just should have known it would be.

[VRWCmember]

What can I say? Christmas is my favorite time of year.

Maybe I can photoshop myself into this pic for my Christmas cards this year.

[Slip18]

I'll have to ask Cyber to decipher that for me. LOL!

[Laura Earl]

Unfortunately, she and her husband have kind of retired to this home. She can be sweet, but just gets on my nerves. There are other problem neighbors too. Hopefully things will get better.

[Texan5]

Those moviemakers still can't follow a book. I hate to read a book, then see the movie, because it is always screwed up. I wish they'd make a movie out of the sequel someone wrote some years back, too, where Scarlet went to South America for awhile, and she and Rhett got back together at the end of the book.

[honeygrl]

They did. You can find it at most video stores. It was put on TV instead of the theatres though. They *completely* changed the ending. It looked like they had to add rape and murder to the story to get people to watch the movie. It was just horrendous. And the movie doesn't have her being chased out of town at the end like the book does. In fact, she and all her Irish relatives have a big party. Up until the rape thing, it follows fairly close to the book though.

[Robert A Cook PE]

"I got her on time because I slept here....

Obviously...

If you slept somewhere else, you'd have probably gotten to get somebody else, but not in such a timely manner. 8<)

[Gabz]

Ok ladies - payback can be a !itch

Fess up, boys-- stuff about men.

9. Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not being the first is upsetting to their psyches.

sounds like some of the croqs trying to get to class each morning. ROFL!!!!!

[white rose]

If you're glad to see me return, that must mean you didn't bother to check my homework. Good for you.
