You cannot beat a man or woman who gets up for one more round. Last week while in church the pastor referred to this while giving the sermon, reportedly this was said by Gentleman Jim Corbet after defeating John Sullivan. I do not know if it is true but I would like to think so.  I started in this business in 2008 and at the end of my first year I made less than 2,000.00.  I was knocked down for sure but I got up and now I’ve been knocked down several times but I keep getting up for one more round.   How many times have you been knocked but got up for one more round?  What say you? 01/18/2012

  I like things and people who are “sapid” do you? I like this word but I’m thinking on how I can use it in a sentence today.  Not that I don’t have anything to do just a showing at 01:00 PM back to the office for a listing contract for Monday and the list goes on.  But back to the word of the day the meaning of (sap’id) is having a pleasing taste; savory and the second meaning is agreeable to the mind; interesting; engaging. Now what say you?  01/14/2012

  There have been times in my life when I’ve been “profligate” have you? Yes I’ll be the first to admit it I’ve done this on more than one occasion.  I wonder if you will be honest when you find out the meaning and admit it.  To be honest with you I have even enjoyed it.  I’m trying to write this post and not smile ;) but it’s not working.  I am looking forward to your answers.  Now I guess without further adieu the meaning of (praf’li git) is immoral and shameless; dissolute; extremely wasteful; recklessly extravagant.  Now that I’m done I can’t wait to read your comments.  What say you? 01/11/2012

  I would like to live in a home with a “belvedere” would you? I’ve been in homes that have this and I have been impressed.  The last office before moving to our new location had one of these.  Seems to me it would be a lot of extra work and maintenance to keep one of these looking good.  So if you haven’t figured it out by now the meaning of (bel’va dir’) is a summerhouse on a height, or an open, roofed gallery in an upper story, built for giving a view of the scenery. 01/10/2012

  Aren’t you glad we don’t work for an “honorarium”? Don’t know about you but I’m sure glad we don’t use or are obligated to do this.  While I did not see the country of origin in my Webster’s® it is Latin.  So with that out of the way I really don’t have much more to offer.  Without any more stuff flowing the meaning of (an’e rer’e em) is a payment as to a professional person for services on which no fee is set or legally obtainable.  No fee do you know of anyone who doesn’t charge in one way or another some sort of fee if they are a professional?  What say you? 01/08/2012

  I live in an “oppidan” most people do. Yes I live in one as most people do.  Some don’t and decades ago I didn’t either but that was decades ago.  Most of the places I lived in decades ago are going away .  Other people like the place I used to live in.  Truth be told I would like to live in one again.  Now for the meaning of (ap’i den) is of a town; urban, a person living in a town I do miss the days of living in the country when your closest neighbor was a good half a mile away.  01/06/2012

  I like being an “operose” what say you? Well I did not know this word existed.  And it didn’t take me over a page or two in my Webster’s ® to find it.  There are some words I do not post because I really have reservations on how it’s going to be perceived.  Kind of like riding the fence and not knowing what side you will get off on.  However back to the word of the day, I really work on this all the time and continue to work harder every day I can.  The meaning of (ap’ er os’) is done with or requiring much toil, very busy, industrious.  Like the old saying goes "The only place success is found ahead of work is in the dictionary." 01/05/2012

  I want to “ingurgitate” large amounts of an item. That’s right you heard me I want large amounts of this item and I’ll take all I can get.  I’ll tell you what the item is shortly and the meaning of the chosen word for today.  I don’t know about you but 2012 is off to a booming start for me if it will just keep this up for awhile.  The meaning of (in gur’je tat’) is to pour in like a flood, to swallow up greedily or in large amounts; gulp; gorge; guzzle.  And the item is money…  Did I get you on this one?  01/03/2012

  Had to change this up so not to violate anything I bet you’ll get the jest of the story..   A Pharmacist walks into his store to find a guy leaning heavily against a  wall.  The Pharmacist asks the new file clerk:"What's with that guy over there by the  wall?" The file clerk responds: "Well, he came in here this morning to get  something for his cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I gave him an  entire bottle of Laxative."  The pharmacist yells:  "You idiot! You can't treat a cough with a laxative!"  The new file clerk responds         Are you ready?         Are you sure you want to know?         Just a little more…         OK If you’ve gone this far here it is    Of course you can! Look at him, he's afraid to cough".   Bet ya he really wanted one of these he could get to…   12/24/2011

  Jessie wishes you a very Merry Christmas I have posted pictures of Jessie before.  When the wife was getting her ready for the photo shoot she shivered as though it would be her last day on earth.  After the wife dressed her I can understand her concern.  Anyway she cooperated and we did get a picture before she rolled over and played dead.  If I had to wear that outfit I’d join her.  She did recover and all is well.  Here’s wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a great 2012  12/23/2011

  How many people or who have you “osculated” lately? I can think of one for sure and I did it to several people at Thanksgiving and I’ll do the same at Christmas.  Otherwise I don’t do this act.  So what before I give you the meaning do you think it is?  So guess for the next few words.  Are you ready?   Usually I would have you scroll down a few lines before I gave you the meaning but not this time.  So here we go the meaning of (as’kyoo lat’) is to kiss; or touch closely.  Now what say you? 12/04/2011
