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....

I don't think he realizes that Sacagawea has replaced Susan B. Anthony on the dollar coin. He just made a comment about my face being on that coin.

[xsmommy]

i've got no patience for most fools, and he is a big'un.

[CholeraJoe]

They stay up late watching doggie porn and making collect long distance calls to your dog.

It was called Scarlette.

I loathe GWTW and Scarlette. I must be the only person who thought them horrible. My sister LOVES GWTW. UGGG

[Laura Earl]

A big ole big'un!

[RikaStrom]

LOL, no wonder she's running around at 3am causing a ruckus.

[Argh]

Give the little sweetie a pat from his Uncle Arghie. I realize it won't help much.

I know you didn't use tacitness because it didn't rhyme with tacky.

Exactly, lol. And tacitness lacks something of alacrity. Tacity, tacitious, tacitular..should be words. ;) Especially tacitious.

[My back yard]

Especially tacitious, which is what Arnold should have been.

[Laura Earl]

Where did everyone go? Flurry, Honeygrl and I have been over harassing the Bible-thumpers....

[Gabz]

Well I just got back from driving all over the county - and accomplishing NOTHING.

If hubby doesn't respond to my page in the next 15 minutes - I'm going to have to do it again ---sigh.

[mikrofon]

Very well done, and how true!

Whenever I hear about X42, I usually need some antacit...

[Laura Earl]

Sounds like loads of fun.

Many of our friends used to be teachers, but two went into real estate sales last year, one opened a restaurant, along with his wife, also an ex-teacher, and two more, a husband and wife are going to teach at a Catholic school after their contracts with the school district expire at the end of the school year. Three of them are white, two are of Mexican ancestry and one is black. None of them left because of the pay. They left because they were not allowed to teach kids the way they used to, and they felt discriminated against by the school districts and their liberal co-workers because they are all conservative. One of them had been teaching for over 30 years, and none has taught for less than 20.

[Gabz]

I'm venting my frustration on the other thread!!!!!!

Maybe I will have blown off enough steam that I won't vent on hubby.

[Texan5]

I gotta see that-where is the other thread. Has hubby called you yet?

[Laura Earl]

I'm bouncing back and forth.

[Gabz]

Thread

The nastiness started about post number 175 or there abouts!!!

No, hubby hasn't called - which means not only is his cell phone out of range, so is his pager, and he's not in the office.

I'm not happy.

That means I have to go get the rugrat and take her to the open house at the kindergarten by myself.
