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....
No, I have a wife to do these things. ;-)
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
cheaper than daycare! ; )
I’ve heard the “well digger” part, but it wasn’t ankles that were cold, but somewhere about where the bilateral split occurs in the human body.
Or the PetSmart hotel.
Something about Birdseye pearl onions?
More of a dorsal inclination.
yeah, i’m sure i will hear about how much that bill was since he picked them up! i will tweet the pic that xsbaby sent of them in their suite. bc they were late check-ins last Monday, they got the last available room and it was the one that you can see into from the lobby. jules is far too excitable to be able to handle all the stimuli of one of the cages.
Nice!
Thankfully, the weltering and sweltering in bed overnight has stopped for a while, as local temps are more seasonal this week…
Here I am-my contractor compadre is on his way to look at a green building product we want to use-I hope it is all it is supposed to be...
In a welter of false emotion
The emperor spun another tale
Of his bogus past hard times
Wrapped and stamped for sale
Pardon me if I don’t buy it-
How this private-schooled teen
From a rather well-off family
Found Honolulu streets so mean
No matter what the subject is
He rushes right out to tell
Some made-up story of himself
That is always phony as hell...
You know you’re in trouble when you argue that the dog started it. It did sound like overkill by the cop.
Doing it, is one thing. Telling it to a reporter, you’re making Liberace look like Rambo.
Glad my only worry is findi g sunscreen for Max of Caerbannog.
A+++ glad you are cooling off!
A+++ because at the end of the day, EVERYTHING really is about HIM.
that is sooooooo sweet!
