;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".

Etymology: 1550s, from L. abnegationem (nom. abnegatio) "refusal, denial," noun of action from abnegatus, pp. of abnegare, from ab- "off, away from" + negare "to deny" (see deny).
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....
I was thinking the same thing. I know I could beg lunches from friends and they would come through, but I like my independence. I even wondered how quiche would freeze. Your’s sounds great.
I warned them at my diner/breakfast greasy spoon type...that I would be disappearing for knee surgery. They mentioned they just had a customer turn back up after her knee surgery. She was looking good.
Pitt stuck with them for a while. But the number of offensive rebounds Florida got was astounding.
And the poor kid from VCU who fouled at the end of the game and blew it for his team. I’d hate to be him.
No way I’m dauntless - I’m a big chicken and don’t care for tatoos ;^)
i would bet $ on a quick recovery by you, miss tioga.
Really? You think she goes against her feminazis and her gay leader?
i’m not dauntless either, of course xsbaby fancies herself to be, she’s been crazy to see the movie and loved it and the books. no way she could do any of that stuff! jumping from a moving train, jumping off a several story building into a net. nope.
That sounds great
Well, the first round is on my left leg. I was reading the book and learned that as soon as I am off serious pain meds and feel able, I can drive. I use my right leg for driving, so that sounds good to me. Three weeks is what I am hearing. Pain levels drop, even heard from one friend that her dad’s pain level dropped to bearable after a few days. Even better news. I cling to reports like that. Still have not seen the surgeon, so I can’t imagine what he will say. If I can get into my pool for the summer, I know I will get use of my knee to the level I want it. Hopefully, in the fall I can move on to the other knee and repeat this. RME
6-3 for Hobby Lobby, huh. I will remember your prediction. I was shocked with the first ruling from SCOTUS on o’care. I make no predictions.
I would LOVE to be able to congratulate Dave on his prediction!! I used to be much more optimistic than I am now..... this past 5 years has worn on my ability to look for the silver lining
The Elites are only too willing to aid in the “Li’l-Abnergation” of America, where the able-bodied are encouraged to sit back in idle pursuits and accept Gov’t handouts, while the general public is dumbed down & made gullible for whatever is fed to them from the all-knowing Media…
that’s an A+++ for you, Al Capp ; )
i’m a glass half empty sort and always have been, but more so in the past 5+ years.
Oh, perfect word for lean times and simmering resentment-
While Michelle is gorging
On China’s culinary glory
We who work for a living
Tell a very different story-
Gazing into the fridge now
That the month is at an end
We’re hoping for a paycheck
That some customer will send
Thunder thighs enjoys her trip,
But all comes into question-
Her hubby busted just like Nixon
Will likely give her indigestion...
I’m one, too-I’ve been told I was cynical even as a small child, and I’ve only become more so. I used to trust a few people years ago, but that isn’t even true anymore.
I think it’s the perfect setting for the court to establish that there are some limits and that it is relevant.
A++++ wonder what they are eating over there. Chinese food from China would prob skeeve me out.
They have tons of KFC over there. And Dominoe’s pizza.
did it taste “right”?
Yeah, just fine.
I may be going back there later this year.
