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....

That comment sounds very misopenistic.....

[doubled]

The Void and Alabama aren't contiguous
But both have idiots mischevious.
Ousting the ten commandments
The liberals are adament
Is something we're for litigious.

Be happy, Becky!!!!!

I'm just happy that I am able to talk about it without feeling anything anymore. For a very long time I was unable to even think about it, let alone speak of it.

I have my wonderful man and new life to thank for that.

I actually met coolbreeze right after I had left the ex, but he witnessed much of the ugliness, as the ex had a tendency to seek me out and cause scenes in public.

At least the director told it like it is. If it is a problem, why not buy the cheerleaders leggings or opaque tights in a harmonizing color instead of pants? Neither one of those options costs $100.00 per pair.

[Gabz]

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

[Texan5]

I just know you stayed up all last night perfecting that assignment....

[Slip18]

Thank you for the laugh this morning about Ted Nugent's new ice cream flavors. I'm ROTFLOL.

Dang, Ted Nugent's photo in a loin cloth has been removed. Must be those dastardly liberals.

[Gabz]

I didn't have a handgun at the time.

However, after I had moved out and some friends witnessed one of the ex's public spectacles, I was presented with one by one of said friends, who now happens to be my husband!!!!

I usually have the tanker truck refill it weekly.

As a Catholic I empathize with all faiths when they are being challanged. We have certainly been challanged (serious understatement!). Keep the faith. Prayers going up.

[Texan5]

My hubby became my best friend in the later years of my first marriage. He saw many of the ugly scenes personally, and heard about the others, because I used to talk to him on the phone late at night when I was upset knowing my husband was with another woman instead of working out of town like he said. He even drove by her house once when I asked him to, and confirmed that my ex's truck was parked in the driveway at 12:30 am, and all the lights off in the house.

[Gabz]

Have a good day!!!!

[camle]

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine,
When you gonna let me get sober?
Leave me alone, let me go home,
Let me go back and start over.

Ramblin' around this dirty old town,
Singing for nickels and dimes.
Times gettin' rough, I ain't got enough,
To buy me a bottle of wine.

[camle]

just DAMN!

huddling with the strager man in the overcoat and hat...

[Texan5]

I know, but I'm well aware that many women are just as mean and sneaky, and even adulterous.

[Slip18]

[Gabz]

"young" "dumb" and "homesick" all apply in my case.

[Gabz]

Bless you dear.

[secret garden]

Those stars are hypnotizing me.

Does AA mean Alcohol Appreciation?
