Word For The Day, Monday, 8/10/09
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".
prevenient;adj
Coming before; preceding. Expectant; anticipatory.
Etymology: Latin praeveniēns, praevenient-, present participle of praevenīre, to precede : prae-, pre- + venīre, to come; see gwā- in Indo-European roots.] pre·ven'ient·ly adv
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
she’s unfortunate looking and those boobs scream out fake.
The sad thing is there are some FReeper men whose response to those pics would be something along the lines of “Guilty, but I’d still hit it...” without any regard for the nasty hateful aura attached to her fake boobs (along with who knows how many potential bacteria or varieties of virus).
it is a particular male defect to be able to disassociate personality/aura, whatever you want to call it, from a decent body. i can’t fathom participating in any sort of intimacy with someone who is vile and loathsome. i thought that levi johnston was a babe back when it first came out that he had impregnated bristol. his ridiculous actions since have ruined his looks IMO.
Comrades, I have no words against the government medical plan. I teem with enthusiasm at the prevenient Socialist State. I will have a job re-educating traitors, and perhaps a nice dacha and a GAZ-24 to drive my little comrades to the Stalin Club meetings.
Boy, oh boy, you guys are having an unprevenient summer. We’re just starting to cool down here!
I got a Ford mailer on Saturday. Looked at it on Saturday afternoon. Brought the Escape Hybrid SUV (going greener every day) on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. Sent the info they needed Saturday night. OMG, I can’t drive it. It’s loaded with stuff for which I’ve never heard. Like what is a Sirus (if that’s how it’s spelled), The whole back of the SUV is covered but it’s a battery the width and length of the back of the SUV. It’s warrantied for eight years that battery. LOL! There were only four left on the lot. Only one had everything we both wanted — Cyber gadgets and me looks and space — there’s no turn signal on the right side. I have no idea. Talking or nontalking map monitor. We have to buy new cell phones, though, probably I-Phones. 41 miles city driving and, I think, 31 miles on freeways. 17.5 gallon gas tank. It’s grey. Oh and it’s got one of those moon roofs, which is so cool. Running board. There are so many things, I don’t what they are. Oh, this was a biggie for Cyber, it has a 110-volt outlet in the front. Cyber’s dad almost died when we brought it over to show him that.
So we had a pretty good weekend. I didn’t get my shots in my back on Thursday, but it’s feeling pretty good anyway. Poor Cyber has to get x-rays on his back because he’s limping. I thought he had torn a muscle in his leg, but no, it’s his back now, too. He’s using my cane which I bought 35 years ago to not let an elevator door shut on me. I bought the least expensive thing back then from Horowitz Schumaker. Now, of course, there are those little red lights to keep the door open. Cute cane. It’s got a Whippet (sp) dog’s head on it.
‘nuf for me. I’ll read everything when I get home from grocery shopping . . .
I hope I get a grade for my first paragraph, Miss Mommy! LOL!
I cacelled AARP . . .
A+++ LOL!
OMG you got cash for clunkers???? A+++
yeah we weren't big relish eaters so we didn't put it in the sauce, just used the ketchup. did he post this?
LOL! No, I didn't mention Isaly's by name.... although maybe they know it and just don't realize it.
I see Klondike bars in the supermarkets all the time here in Houston!!!!
But getting the chipped ham chipped thin enough... well that's Mission Impossible... so we have to make-do with stuff that's "close enough", but it still ain't quite right. LOL!
I showed them a reciped that I got here: Pittsburgh Chipped Ham Barbecues because it's close to what my Mom used to make WITH the relish.
The truth is, I really don't care much for the relish either, but everybody else in my family liked it that way so I really didn't have much choice unless I was making just a small batch for myself anat. LOL!
And the REAL truth is... who ever followed a real "recipe" when making Chipped Ham BBQ anyway???
I don't think anybody ever measured the ingredients they put in the saucepan... you're s'posed to just eyeball it: toss-in a pile of chipped ham... some Heinz ketchup anat.... some brown sugar... some relish or other stuff if you want (or don't if you don't want)... and just stir it up while it heats for 10~15 minutes. Then you put it on some burger buns (although I can remember having it on Town Talk white bread... but it gets a little soggy that way. LOL!)
But it was a "standard" recipe that EVERYBODY in the 'Burgh useta eat instead of Sloppy Joes when I was a kid.
Good Eats if you can find the Chipped Ham chipped thin enough like they do it at Isaly's!!!
i never cared for the sloppy joes made with ground meat, but now i am hankering for a chipped ham bbq! yeah, we have klondikes here in VA too. i didn’t even know isaly’s made a sauce, i thought everyone just made their own! which isaly’s did you go to? we went to both the one in Monroeville and the one in Oakmont. my grandma lived in Verona, PA.
No Cash for Clunker over here. My 1995 Chevy Berreta gets too good gas milage to qualify. I’m giving the car to my Dad....
dang, i am relieved to hear it! i was kinda scandalized!! LOL!
we have klondikes here in VA too. i didn’t even know isaly’s made a sauce, i thought everyone just made their own! which isaly’s did you go to?
We used to go to the Isaly's that was next to Kroger's which was in the old Fox Chapel Village shopping center.
I don't know if it's still there or not because that's the side of the road where Claber's (was on the other side of Kroger's) became Busy Beaver, but they changed and tore down a lot of that when they built the Waterworks Mall. Fox Chapel PLAZA was on the other side of FC Road. I think that one is pretty much the same but the stores have changed. Only that's not the one where we went to Isaly's anat.
Isaly's made their own Chipped Ham BBQ, only it was more expensive than the plain chipped ham so we didn't buy it much. I can't remember them selling the sauce separate.... maybe they did... or maybe that's something "new" they started sometime in the last 30 years or so since I grew up. LOL!
When I was growing up in Ohara Twp, we had an "Isaly" family living nearby.... I forget the kids names... they were all 4~8 years younger than me so my younger siblings knew them better than I did. But they lived within normal "Trick or Treat" range of our house and gave away Klondike bars on Halloween!!!
Now THAT was a special treat that EVERYBODY liked... except you had to eat it right away so it didn't melt in your Trick-or-Treat bag.... and even then, a lot of kids wound up with awful sticky hands and faces under those plastic Halloween masks... LOL!
I am glad it did not qualify, because I’ve really liked that car and I’d hate to see it smashed.
how cool to get klondikes in the trick or treat bag!
We don’t have a clunker, sorry to say. Pat’s old car gets too much gas mileage. But we get $1700 off of our income, and with the $3400 for our teeth this year and the rest of the docs, we probably won’t pay taxes this year. Poor IRS.
Oh, and I was wrong about the turn signal. Got my right and left mixed up. Left side is turn signal, as is my SUV. He’s got the four (or five) on the floor. The only thing we didn’t get was four-wheel drive, which I already have. We plan on getting a home in the mountains here someday soon. Probably be a dirt road or something, so you need four-wheel drive.
BTW, I showed him the broe-shur (as Hyacinth says) while we were in bed watching baseball. He told me no to a new car. I told him I’d make him brownies if he would actually say to me “I will think about it.” Next morning I didn’t say a word. Got a call from my e-mail to the dealership which was only 3-1/2 miles away. He looked at me and said, “Let’s go.” Hehehehehehehe! Brownies did it.
Tell xsbrownie thank you!
Love your photo, freedumb. I don’t like calling you that, though.
ROTFLMAO!
My new shirt from Crazy Shirts in Hawaii. We’re on a name basis now. I should wear it more often.
