Word For The Day, Wednesday, September 3, 2003
The Verbivores | 9/3/03 | Teacher

Posted on 09/03/2003 5:05:59 AM PDT by RikaStrom

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....


opacity \O*pac"i*ty\, noun:
opacities; noun, plural
opacitly; adverb

1. The quality or state of being opaque.
2. Something opaque.
3. Obscurity; impenetrability.
4. Dullness of mind.

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?
--RikaStrom, WFTD Teacher

Etymology: [French opacité, from Old French, from Latin op cit s, from op cus, dark.]

You're so sweet. Maybe next summer when we go on another jaunt through the country. I do so love our jaunts. We flit from one place to another. We leave the dogs at home. They have their favorite sitter, Jenny, who comes by twice a day. She stays here for a couple of hours at a time and watches lotsa movies. Dogs and cat love her.

The boy will eat you out of house and home. LOL!

I don't think I'm all that brilliant. I just have a lot of books and seminars under my belt. I was perusing them on Monday and told Cyber I needed to trade again. I didn't like the look of the market on Tuesday, but today it firmed up. So Cyber rolled me out of bed at 5:00 a.m. to trade. Ugggggghhhh!

You had nice luck then. I know nothing of day to day fluctuations, I'd rather bet on football..... But with that said I'd have to be anti-bond in the current environment, and have been for about 6 months.

I'm just afraid that Alan the Pukespan will come in and screw up my trade. I've gotten in and out of a trade within minutes when I found out he was going to address all of his subservient folks.

THere are something like 10 FOMC meetings a year and 2 Humphrey-Hawkins testimonies a year. Those should be marked on your calender ahead of time if you wanna be a trader....

the bill to allow illegals to get drivers liscenses in CA passed the senate there now! All it needs now is the governor's signature, which you know he'll sign it. FREAKING MORONS!!

It's not midnight yet, so my homework still counts!

Like another liberal lamebrain in a long line of lemmings lollygagging toward the sea, Johnny Depp exhibits his opacity(4) as he joins the America-haters' club....

[Demonstrating yet again that sometimes it's better to keep one's mouth shut rather than open it and remove all doubt.]

Again California leads the way down the slippery road to Hell.
They're so determined to get there, they're not even waiting for the handbasket!

I'm so glad I don't live there any longer. Even my conservative Orange County has become one big liberal mess.

A priest and a rabbi are sitting next to each other on an airplane. After a while the priest turns to the rabbi and asks, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?" The rabbi responds, "Yes,that is still one of our beliefs."

The priest then asks, "Have you ever eaten pork?" To which the rabbi replies, "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich."

The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?" The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."

The rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?"

The priest replied, "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."

The rabbi nodded understandingly. He was silent for about five minutes, and then he said, "Beats the hell out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"

i am in for a VEEEEEEEEEEEEERY long day.

We've had bad flooding here since yesterday, so at 5:30 this morning I put on the local news to check out if there were any delays in school opening. Not a word.

So at 7:15 daddy and daughter wre outside waiting for the bus, about 7:25 a guy in a truck drove by and shouted to hubby "school's closed"

I still had the local news on and hadn't heard anything so I checked the station's web site. And sure enough the school district closed school today.

Only district with so much as a delay on the entire Delmarva peninsula, and it has to be this one.

We've had a lot of rain, between 5 and 7 inches fell in 4 hours, but we live in one of the higher areas in the county so we're ok.

But 2 miles to the east, the major north/south route was shut down for several hours yesterday because of standing water.
