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....
My dad is being moved from the rehab hospital back to assisted living and his Aggie baseball cap is missing. I am unhappy. So is he.
Blast!
3.5, but who’s counting? ;-)
The Benghazhi narrative has seemed fugacious. How could ANYBODY consider Hills for Prex after seeing her “What difference does it make?” temper tantrum?
BTW, I was waiting patiently at the door until 8:30 AM but had to give up after not being called/ I had PT plus a meeting with the accountant this AM.
sorry, i am not as quick out the door at home as i had been prior to my leg issue, i am getting in later, so 9 ish was the best i could do.
Those who would have us support her are precisely the ones who have sickened me of her. Just ridic.
I’d much rather vote for somebody who has, you know, done something. Sure, I’d vote for her over Plugs or hillary.
But we do have other possibilities. Cruz seems to have the right ideas and backbone.
BTW, xsbaby had her last day of high school last friday. She’s off this week, next week they have their senior trip to FL, then she has two weeks of an internship [seniors have to secure for themselves a 2 week internship that they then go back and report on as a last thing] She graduates on June 8th. She also was recently inducted into the National Honor Society, quite an achievement for an LD kid like her. This is how you know that we pay WAY TOO MUCH in tuition— we have to pay no out of pocket expense for this trip to FL. They are flying there, hotel for 4 nights, entrance fees for Seaworld, Universal Studios and they are to see the Blue Man group show somewhere there too, and food. We pay for any spending $ she needs for souvenirs and for food in airports etc. I am wondering if for some reason your kid doesn’t go, if you get some rebate of some sort. I am thinking NOT.
Cruz is fearless, as noted by Carville. and brilliant.
All my daughter is getting is a trip to the zoo! ;-)
We’re gonna be down your way the end of next week. Since she doesn’t do Kennywood, we’re going to go to the National Archives, etc. in Washington.
why doesn’t she do Kennywood?
She doesn’t like roller coasters or anything that makes her tummy feel funny. Which is basically everything.
you have my email, let me know when you are here. if i am at my ofc and ambulatory i will try to hook up with you guys down here.
I will. I wasn’t sure if you worked in that area or not.
well it’s not too far afield.
The fugasiousness of the Bengazi story means that the low information voters will be heedless.
We’re planning to take the metro. Not during rush hour. We;re staying in MD.
exactly and very unfortunately true. A+++
very good plan. absolutely no reason to drive in here.
