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 hope it was tacitly understood that the only reason I missed class was to teach class. Sorry! They won't let me freep at school. :( I honestly thought these calls wouldn't start until the weather got cold and they started passing strep throat around.

[Laura Earl]

hey, LE...you are talking to yourself again!

[Laura Earl]

Hey SG...wondered where you were today, you truant!

Do you know the second verse of his song?
She was bred in Kentucky...(sung in Curly falsetto)

I'll be tight when I go to sleep.

Most of the people up here are liberty loving professonal people who consider themselves conservative, and the church parking lots are full every Sunday. I really don't understand how they justify the other stuff. We have had two right-to-life rallys to bring in money for anti-abortion legislation just since we have moved here, since there are a large number of pro-life doctors and lawyers living here. And the crime rate is just about non-existent. Personal habits aside, my neighbors are fine people. Liberals don't last long here-they move back to the city. It is one of the reasons we moved here.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Gimme the first verse and hum the tune and I'll fake it.

[honeygrl]

He walked for about an hour at 11mths old and then refused to walk again until he was 12mths old. After 12mths old though he never wanted to sit or lay down again.

Anything carried that far is not religion IMHO!

You're right - it is borderline cult.

[Texan5]

We live on one of the bluffs above a big lake. The community is mostly commuters, but there are several very large working ranches, too (one is at the end of our road) that have been in families for 100+ years. It was a resort area until about 10 years ago when the exodus from the city started with people who are willing to work in the city, but don't want to live there because of the bulls**t, traffic, taxes and crime.

[honeygrl]

Rhett. Plus Rhett really loved Scarlet. Ashley just led her on even though he really loved Malanie.

[Conspiracy Guy]

She was bred in Kentucky,
To a man that felt lucky.
He wore tattered clothes,
And he had a big nose.
But she was so happy,
To sit in his lappy.
Cause she was from Venus,
And he had a truck.

[TheGrimReaper]

If it were merely "secret", I probably would.
But, "double secret".... NO WAY!

[Gabz]

[xsmommy]
