Intumesce is the new word of the day.   Okay here we go this is one of those words that you know or you don’t.  I’ve had this happen to me and I could not get rid of it so I had surgery to make it go away.  Sometimes I wished I hadn’t done it but I can’t turn back now.  So the meaning of (in’too mes’) is to swell, enlarge and expand as I did when I reached a 258 pound weight on my frame.  10/05/2012

Well let us not jump to conclusions and don’t read anything into this word.  Unless you know its meaning it is not what you think.  Needless to say I’ve been there done that.  Not proud of it but it is now not on my bucket list and I really don’t want to do it again.  So without further adieu the meaning of (krap’loo lens) is sickness caused by excess in drinking or eating.  So have you been there?  10/01/2012

Enjoy the day 09/24/2012

  Triptych is the new word of the day. I remember these in my younger days.  They were the state of the art back then.  In some places they may be still used.  Anyway if you can find one of these I’d like to take a look at it for old times’ sake.  Now the meaning of (trip’tik) is an ancient writing tablet of three leaves hinged together.  Yea those were the days. 09/21/2012

  Sepulchral is the new word of the day. Well no matter how you like you can avoid it this will happen.  It’s just a matter of time before it catches up with you.  For some it happens quickly and for others it takes a long, long time.  Personally I hope it doesn’t happen to me for a long time in the future.  The meaning of ( se pul’krel) is suggestive of the grave or burial; dismal; gloomy.  That is how some people view death.  I for one when it’s my time no condolences please but announce the Good News James is talking to the man and everything is right with the world. 09/18/2012

  I WANNA go home. Okay so they took out part of one of my kidneys removed my gall bladder and repaired a navel hernia.  They have me hooked up to a drainage hose with a bottle at the end of it.  I had a temperature of 102.8 last night so that’s why I’m still here.  I mean it’s just all in a days’ work isn’t it?  In real estate things happen we need to pull up our adult pants and take care of business like me.  You won’t see me throwing a temper tantrum I’m a big boy. 09/16/2012

  Glabrate is the new word of the day.

  Qualitatively is the new word of the day. I like this word I surely do.  This is what I like about it with just one word it speaks volumes to the one who reads it.  Beyond that it does even better by the person who lives by its meaning.  Which reminds me I guess you would like to know the meaning if you haven’t already guessed it.  The meaning of (kwol’I tat’iv kwal) has to do with quality or qualities.  So did you guess the meaning?  09/06/2012

  Puerile is the new word of the day. Well, well, well there have been times I’ve been this word and I’m sure it won’t be the last.  In fact everyone I know has at times shown this side of their personality.  There isn’t much more I can say about this word so the meaning of (pyoo’er il) is childish; silly; immature or trivial.  Want to tell me about it?  Just comment on it in the section provided.  I promise I will not tell anyone.  09/04/2012

  Infelicitous is the new word of the day. At times this comes my way and when it does I do not like it.  However this is life and things happen sometimes for a reason and other times one can’t explain it.  I know I just know it has happened to everyone who will read this post.  So the meaning of (in’fe lis’e tes) is unfortunate or unsuitable.  So now that you know the meaning tell me has it happened to you?  09/03/2012

  Imbibe is the new word of the day. So I can name a few of these off the top of my head and I’m included in those.  So I am proud sometimes to be associated with these but sometimes I’m not.  It just all depends on the day and how I feel.  Actually there are two meanings which I will concentrate on and the second one I’ll use is the one I’m most proud of.  The meaning of (im bib’) is to drink (esp. alcohol liquor) can we say been there done that but the second meaning we all should aspire to be so and that is to take into the mind and keep, as ideas and principles. 09/01/2012

  Sotto voce is the new word of the day. I know, I know its two words but they go together.  I was reading this book and saw it so I thought what the heck might as well give it a shot.  Actually it’s an old Irish proverb.  When you find out the meaning you may agree I know I do.  Sometimes the loudest is not always the best (hint).  So the meaning of (sat’o vo’che) is in an undertone, so as not to be overheard.  In other words one who whispers 08/31/2012
