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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

pandemian \pan*dem*ee*an\, adjective
pandemianly; adverb
pandemiousness; noun

1. Vulgar
2. Sensual

The characteristics of Aphrodite have bewildered philosophers who, like Plato, made a distinction between the two aspects of the goddess, one Uranian "celestial," as the goddess of pure love, and Pandemian, or "popular," as the goddess presiding over ordinary love affairs.

Etymology: I couldn’t find the etymology, double grades to the student who brings it to class!

Morning Gabz, how are the pup and child?

[RikaStrom]

LOL! Morning tD.

Was that the game that I saw, as I was switching channels, that had pouring down rain?

[Gabz]

Right now all is quiet on the home front....pup is sleeping under a chair, big girl is sleeping in my room and child is in school!!!

It's Friday, hubby is home - so that means I don't get to play online much today - he's going to actually make me do chores :(

[RikaStrom]

That's a very good question Flurry.

I ran across in on an obscure little site; did some searching and found the snippit with the quote above, in a document talking about Aphrodite.

Whoever finds out where it came from gets double points. :-)

[RikaStrom]

Goodness, you would thing that with hubby home, and kiddlet at school, he could come up with something to do that is NOT chores. ;-)

[Conspiracy Guy]

I guess I'll get a ZER0 cause I can't find a dang thing on it ; ) I get lots of ZER0's so I'm used to it.

[Conspiracy Guy]

You'd think so wouldn't you? Maybe what we're thinking of is a chore for some.

[RikaStrom]

I couldn't find anything with google, which means that this little beaut must be researched the old fashioned way... with a giant encyclopedia or dictionary of archaic words. :-)

[RikaStrom]

LOL, not for our Gabz, I'm sure. I have faith that she can turn that situation around.

[TheGrimReaper]

The perennial presence of pandemian prevaricators, pifflers, and purveyors of philth in the public panorama persistently provokes pain and puking amongst the populace...

[B!tch]

[theDentist]

Yup! I didn't see much of it myself, as I'd started the day at 4am and had only slept 3 hours before that.

[RikaStrom]

Uggg.. she get ickier every time I see her.

A+

Hillary's pandemian(1) sense of entitlement means she expects American Airlines to hold the plane jsut becuase she's running late.

Hold muh plane, alert

[xsmommy]

zeroes on checks are good.... : )

[Texan5]

Morning!

The California Governor's recall
Has become a pandemian brawl.
With some actors, and two sluts
Competing with a peddler of smut.

[xsmommy]

no fair spelling filth with a ph!!!

[Gabz]

LOL!!!

In fact this is our first Friday without the kiddie since June - we do have our afternoon all planned out!!!

[TheGrimReaper]

Only 2 sluts??
That is surely below par for a California election.

[xsmommy]

no kiddie but now you have a pup! what do the THREE of you have planned.... ; ) ?

[Gabz]

Flurry, it's obvious you don't know me as well a Rika Teecha!!!!
