I'm glad you enjoyed it. When my students complain they don't understand something I said, I hand them a dictionary. They never miss a chance to complain to me that looking up definitions is too much work.Originally Posted by gdcleanfun
Thanks, NDS, for a new word of the day: mendacious. I'll certainly remember this one as I have step son from my first husband that this applies to. It never hurts me to learn new things and grow, imho. I wish he would do the same. Estrangement is so sad!
Mendacious:
adj.
1. Lying; untruthful: a mendacious child.
2. False; untrue: a mendacious statement. See Synonyms at dishonest.
[From Latin mendcium, lie, from mendx, mendc-, mendacious.]
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.--River Tam
