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....

The opacity of the logic of Runaway Dems has truly baffled me, don't they realize they are acting more like children than the adults they purport to be?

This is a cow. Sheila ain't cute like this!

geez! i just clicked that link in front of the toddler! LOL he started pointing and saying whatever that word is he uses for boobs. I can't figure out what the word is though. Sounds almost like the way he says "button" (which for some reason is also what he calls his uhm "weewee")

[Conspiracy Guy]

A picture of Sheila before she gained so much weight.

Since I can't tell who's lookin' over each shoulder of each reader, that's why I usually leave tit to the judgement of the reader as to the audio (and video) audience of each link ...)

hehe.. i try not to censor what he sees too much regarding nudity since half the women in town are almost naked in the summer. I censor sex, but figure nudity alone isn't a big deal.

hrm, biblewonk is making me think he's a pedophile.. see Discussing a 13yr old who was suspended for performing oral sex on a boy onthe bus

biblewonk:" What's really strange to me is that the 13 yearolds were being so well defended, a hundred years ago no one would have heard about it or they would have been married, and parallel to all that, having a picture of the event on a computer can land a 3rd party in jail for 10 years. That's really screwed up."

Hello classmates! My nose has been to the grindstone today...just taking a break from it. People get fired and everything is just workworkwork!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Don't grind your nose off, it's cute. Has your mom sent you any emails talking about how handsome I am without facial hair?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Sorry I ain't running with that crowd today. Biblewanker and newqueasy get on my nerves. They're a couple of 7th Day Adventist, I believe.

[Laura Earl]

Haven't heard from her at all. I've been expecting to hear from her about your handsome face, and also about how she realized for the first time that her 43 year old daughter had an adult nose complete with bone and cartilege. I'm expecting her to decide that I've had a nose job.

[Laura Earl]

A couple of nutjobs!

[Laura Earl]

Speaking of nutjobs, have you told our classmates about the bassett hound we saw Saturday?

[Conspiracy Guy]

You were sweet not to say, "gee mom are you just now seeing my face after all these years?"

[Conspiracy Guy]

fer sur

[Conspiracy Guy]

Nope.

[xsmommy]

hi, LE. been grinding my own nose today. glad to see you surface to say hello.

[Laura Earl]

When not grinding, I'm starting to obsess about planting fall flowers. Probably won't actually do any planting until late September, though. This weekend is supposed to be cooler, so I'll really get the fever then!

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I love to help a friend XS. Anything else I can grind for ya?

[secret garden]

Mums' the word.
