Nice and super sunny here in Central Ohio this morning.  BUT, cold and getting more chilled during the next few days.  South Florida seems nice, warmer and very inviting right now.  

 

THANKS!  Enjoy!  Terry in Ohio

FYI: Got my 2nd Pfizer shot last Wed.(2/3). The next day I had a slight arm & head ache.

I was going to go grocery shopping that AM, but when I bent over to put my socks on it became

very obvious that I was dizzy so I stayed home. Was also very tired - lots of sleep. The day after everything was back to normal, for an old guy.

Now it's just waiting for the booster shot?

3. Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.

4. Esplanade (v.), to attempt an explanation while drunk.

5. Willy-nilly (adj.), impotent.

6. Negligent (adj.), describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightgown.

7. Lymph (v.), to walk with a lisp.

8. Gargoyle (n), olive-flavored mouthwash.

12. Rectitude (n.), the formal, dignified bearing adopted by proctologists.

13. Pokemon, a Rastafarian proctologist.

14. Oyster (n.), a person who sprinkles his conversation with Yiddishisms.

16. Circumvent (n.), an opening in the front of boxer shorts worn by Jewish men.

 

The Washington Post's Style Invitational also asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

The winners are:

-Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

-Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

-Sarchasm (n): The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

-Inoculatte (v): To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

-Osteopornosis (n): A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

- Karmageddon (n): It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

- Glibido (v): All talk and no action.

- Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

- Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating.

And the pick of the literature:

- Ignoranus (n): A person who is both stupid and an *****. (any candidates?)

YES, a glass of wine sounds like a great idea as we prepare for the kick-off of the Super Bowl game from Tampa, FL, in about two hours.  Who is rooting for Kansas City?  Who for Tampa Bay?  Both teams have great quarterbacks who are headed to the Hall of Fame.  

 

THANKS!  Enjoy!  Terry in Ohio

Hi Terry, I live in Florida so I should probably be rooting for the Bucs but I really like Patrick

Mahomes as well..........should be a great game😃

 

I have to say, it is very unreal that this is TB's 10th Superbowl.......10 times!!!!

Just now, Host Jazzbeau said:

I've always hated Tom Brady, but I'm beginning to soften toward the old geezer.  Maybe I will actually root for him in SuperBowl LXXV :classic_tongue:

 

I'm in a similar state. As a lifelong New Yorker he was always the enemy. Now, I am not so sure. You have to respect his accomplishments.

My husband has set himself up to watch the Super Bowl. It’s started at 10.30am here. 
We don’t have all the great ads you get which is a pity as there are so many of them. 
We were in Seattle many years ago and couldn’t get over how quiet it was until someone explained that the Super Bowl was on.
