appropriate word choice

Today's word of the day (the paper calendar--not the daily email version which was 'incunabulum') is raffish. an adjective marked by flashy vulgarity or crudeness: rakish, unconventional. Comes from the ME raf which meant trash --as in rif-raf-- dates back to the 1400's
Methinks tis a lovely choice.

Big Dogs Rock!


This was genuinely funny and painfully honest and very very very sad. (I just broke my own cardinal rule #4--Only use 'very' once.) I went through five kleenexes. I was crying like a little girl. I was crying like I still miss my Emery. I would recommend this book if:
a.) you are thinking about a large breed dog
b.) still missing somebody you had to put down or
c.) need an excellent cathartic cry.

(considering moving to Boca Raton or getting preggers? your plans might be changed by reading this also)
