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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of 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....

Homework:

The EPA and Forest Service are displaying the typical liberal lies and neahscience as they attempt to bring us forward into the 5th century technology.


And, for that matter ... the 3rd century of "follow the faith of conventional wisdom (of environmentalism this time rather than Aristotlism and churches) rather than the facts of real science.

What did you add to my coffee MnM?? ;-)

[RikaStrom]

Good morning all! xsmommy reminded me of something I wanted to tell y'all..........

My 16 year old daughter, who whines all the time about my time spent on the computer (lol) asked me the other day why I was laughing ......I went into this explanation about all of our jokes here...... moose, cheese, sister's being bitten by cheese eating mooses(?), and the all important need for a shower when there is a terrorist leaving a tuna sandwich in an airport and such...... down to the new and very important phrase "I'm series"...........

Someone had posted to me about listening to commerical free radio while in the shower and I was commenting to her that I understood the series and the shower parts, but didn't know what he meant by commerical free radio...... without missing a beat my daughter said, Perhaps they explained that the one hour you missed this week...........

[RikaStrom]

Forward to a 5th century technology. I don't think I will go along with that.

[xsmommy]

Ok gang, I am off to make a living. Try to stay out of trouble until I come back in and grade.

[xsmommy]

Perhaps they explained that the one hour you missed this week...........

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! don't you hate it when they are making fun of you and actually HAVE A POINT!!!

[Sword_of_Gideon]

Too funny. Did you catch the mammabear person who is now calling this molestation?

[MeekOneGOP]

What did you add to my coffee MnM?? ;-)

LOL ! Like the old TV commercial says: Nuttin', honey !

[xsmommy]

oh yes, i did. there are many more feministwhiners on FR than i thought. The jedigirl person can be forgiven because of her youth and inexperience. if you sit still for crap you will have to deal with crap. at some point that lesson needs to be learned.

[xsmommy]

uh oh. she also called the tiger a JERK.... darling, are you going to sit still for that??

[Sword_of_Gideon]

I really considered jumping into that argument, but thought better of it... too early & too much to do today to get into a knock down drag out brawl. No matter how clearly or succinctly I made my point, I would automatically be labeled a sexist pig in their mind.

[Robert A Cook PE]

". if you sit still for crap you will have to deal with crap. at some point that lesson needs to be learned...

Usually, potty training teaches you that sitting still for s*itting is appropirate, unless you want to get the bathroom floor reallllllly messy; unless you're in the MidEasy, where you still might have to deal with Shitte's shi**ing sitting still.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh yes, and my daughter hits me with zingers all the time....... she's quite funny........
