I have deleted a comment from Thesaurus Thursday because it was obvious that the person looked up the definitions.
Please note. Only leave real definitions if you know them WITHOUT looking them up. Knowing the words is what makes you a Smarty Pants, looking them up and posting the definitions doesn't qualify.
Thanks, now have fun!

Thesaurus Thursday
The "rules" of Thesaurus Thursday are as follows:
First and foremost, leave as many funny definitions for either word (or both) as you can think up in the comments!! The ones that make me laugh the hardest will be given the Silly Goose Award.
Next, if you know (or think you know) the true definitions without looking them up then be sure and leave those in the comments too!! All definitions that are correct (or close enough for government work and Mighty Mom) will win the Smarty Pants Award!
Ready?
Okay, the words for this week are:
abatis
abacedarian
Now, have fun making up those definitions!!
Winners and new words posted next Thursday.

Who's Fat?
Well, I've been feeling rather plump lately. The scale and I are arguing again...
Then I read this post from Pam.
Then I read this post from Fr Philip.
Then I read this post from Subvet.
And now I can't get THIS SONG out of my head!
(with lyrics so you can really enjoy it!)
Anyone else out there feeling fat?

Ghosts.
While the Shrieking Shack may be the most haunted house in Britain, my house is definitely the most haunted one in Texas!
Without a doubt.
I dare you to come for a visit. But should you decide to brave this portal of things unseen; beware.
I'm warning you now.
There you'll be, hanging out in the living room. Broad daylight thinking you're safe from any paranormal activity and whammo.
you hear a noise.
you THINK you know what that noise is.....
then comes the ethereal stench.
Like something wafting up out of an opened grave.
Now you start to investigate! Prepared for battle you're a cross between Robocop and Ghostbuster as you wade into "the hot spot" armed with a clean diaper and box of baby wipes.
You've determined the location of the disturbance and move in for capture.
Unfortunately the human host of this most evil spirit spits and fights and kicks as she does her best to make your ears bleed from her screams.
Finally, your backup arrives and you get the possessed child down on the sofa, don your mask and gloves ready to remove the source of stench.
And that's when you see it.
At first you don't believe your eyes......you look again......you sniff the air, certain of the rottenness that's surrounding this exit chute. Then you gag cuz it's really really rotten.
And yet,
THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
Oh yes, You have fallen victim to GHOST POOP!
(all smell, no substance)
and that's when she giggles and says: "I squashed a duck!!"

with facebook I have the opportunity to chat with folks I normally wouldn't chat with. which is nice. And I've run into a couple old pals from high school, which is very nice. I wouldn't mind if more HS folk wandered my way actually.
then we have these games.
I am now stuck in virtual land in two different games. They're both fun time wasters....but there's something about the idea of needing to jump online just so you can go and harvest virtual crops, before they die on the vine that is a bit disturbing. You do this to make virtual money to plant more virtual crops. And it's nice cuz they always grow...never need weeding...and the weather is always perfect. I mean where else can you grow lemons, wheat, eggplants and strawberries all at the same time right next to the cow and the goat who are happily staying put and NOT eating the crops!!
Subvet got Mr Rogers' Neighborhood on DVD for the kids. As we were watching he mentioned how odd it was that the trolley went from the house...to this other city...then those folks went through a hidden door into a magic garden. I told him. It's the Land Of Make Believe!! Anything is possible there!!
So, what do you think? Is facebook the new and improved Land of Make Believe?????
mmmmmmmm
thoughts? jokes?? snide commentary???
oops, gotta go...my soybeans are 99% grown and will be up for harvesting in a couple minutes........
