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

We got taken, big time by our Mortgage company - we contacted them in April to refinance..... they agreed and did all the paperwork. We paid for an appraisal.... closing was supposed to happen by first of July - didn't....... then by first of August.....again, it didn't....and the creep won't return phone calls......

A guy at work told me that Chase was notorious for doing that - so now we have to start all over..... I could strangle the guy with my bare hands........

My deliquent fuzzbutt gave me a black eye! While she was running around the back yard on Sat, I bent down to get her frisbee and she ran smack into me.

Soo, now I have a black eye and a sore head... I think she just has a sore head! LOL
