;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".

idle; indolent.
Etymology:1610s (n.), from Fr. fainéant (16c.) do-nothing, from fait, third person singular present tense of faire + néant nothing (cf. dolce far niente). As an adj., from 1855.
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....
Dumb girls need love, too. ;-)
Don’t think of it as a plus, think of it as your cross to bear.
Oh? You want to do her and you liked the show where women had no choice because they were programmed.....sounded like you were connecting the two to me.
Speaking of babies.... did you happen to see where Jenny McCarthy was whining (to howard stern I think) about how Jim Carrey doesn't come to visit her son since they broke up? What? He isn't that kids Dad! She made the choice to have a baby with some jerk who didn't care enough to marry her and she will have a parade of men through that child's life but she wants to bitch because when someone is done with her she wants him to keep visiting her kid? She's dumber than I thought, and trust me, I never thought she was smart.
I mentioned it only in case some people might be intrigued by the show. It wasn’t really for sex, a simple prostitute can be had for a lot less money than the Dollhouse would charge.
There was one episode where this internet millionaire had her programmed to believe that she was his wife, who had died tragically. He did this every year on their anniversary.
There was another where she was programmed as a super cop/negotiator to help find a little girl that was kidnapped.
In another she was a “blind” woman who goes inside a religious cult. Though she was blind, her eyes acted as cameras for the police.
I think Obama’s FAA head had to resign after a drunk driving incident not too long ago also. A+++
Oh es, that is why I thought of the Sarkozys and why I cannot think of any other application for the WFTD. LOL
pix or links help with plusses, as do clever pomes ; ) you can strive a bit harder and achieve, i know you can. you are NOT SPECIAL, bc if you are special then we are all special. and there’s only so much specialty to go around, didn’t you hear that commencement speech last week? ; )
You really are taking this way too seriously.
The thing with Jim Carrey was kind of sad. The kid is autistic and has had Carrey as a stepfather (sort of) for 5 years.
Divorce hurts kids, even when it isn’t technically divorce.
this is where the soother sits and desperately hopes that Neo and Hobbes and maybe blueunicorn and other boys in the class, admit to doing stupid girls, so that he doesn’t feel like the dog he has openly admitted to being : )
this word does scream Obama’s name, there is no way around it.
Did you see my tweet yesterday from the pool?
This teen girl sitting near me takes a can of spray on sunscreen, closes her eyes and sprays it all over her face.
All I could do was shake my head silently.
Meh, I’d be far happier putting a smile on Rebecca Kleefisch
it IS sad, but it’s always sad when people make life choices that involve serial sex partners which then expose their kids to these stepdads etc. with no continuity or stability. she happens to be a famous, nice looking woman, but skanks everywhere do this daily.
If you could have heard the interview you would have been disgusted by McCarthy. Of course Stern egged her on - but she acted like JC was the Father of this kid and had become a deadbeat dad. Sure they were close and it is sad when anyone breaks up (although they were NOT married), but JC has no connection to that child other than he was banging his Mother. He has no rights - it could just as easily have been him wanting to see the boy and her saying No. But she is whining all over the place about him not caring enough, blah blah.
You’ve upped your standards?
It was a great article, considering I posted all the points it made....LAST WEEK ; )
Whoa....?
You’re going feminazi on Dave, yet admit ot listening to the King of All Media?
