^^ Awesome, thank you for the contribution!
Man, you can really tell when I have my days off ehh?? lol! Well just got back from getting my ears lowered (guess down here in the south they say that vs "hair cut", not too sure of the meaning behind it?). Here soon I am going to go pick up my "work car" so I figured now would be a good time to throw up the "word of the day" before I totally loose the whole day.

Idoneous (ahy-DOH-nee-uhs)
Definition: Appropriate; fit; suitable; apt.
Source: Thesaurus.com
The idoneous product to use on a car depends on its condition, desired results and monetary compensation. If a non-idoneous product is used, there can be undesired results in many different avenues.

Another excellent word!
rops:"Sometimes, thinking my choice of car-care products is idoneous, has often been proven to be quite erroneous".

^^ Haha! Well I cannot comment on my selection of car-care products because currently its more of a collection then products. Hopefully I can get my lazy butt up since its getting nice out and start using and realizing the potential of these products!

The sanguine lyrics of Johnny Nash's early 1970's hit song: "I Can See Pellucidly Now" (The rain is gone){I think that's how it goes??--HEE HEE}...Is revisited by me whenever I awake to see the Sun beaming on such an unusually warm, Ohio February morn.
(HMMM...This may make for a good limerick...If I can see my way pellucid, that is!)

LOL... ("What Me Worry" ~ Alfred E. Neuman)
Just an arrogation on my part:
-I will postulate you, Tundra_10, my friend, also have no affliction of: Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia... :laughing:
-Also...It seems I'm often accused of being logorrheic when I respond to various threads...As if my replies are a disquisition...That my garrulity even becomes soporiferous!...
"Time for defenestration": Is often the battle-cry I hear!!
-The word: Logorrhea...Too connotative of a bodily function for me.
-Would it not be preferable to be labeled at times as being:
Loquacious, instead?
At least that's my approach when I perceive the necessity of being uxorious.
But...I digress?

Sorry to hear this...Hope you feel better...Real soon!
-Right after the first of the year I had severe bronchitis..."walking pneumonia". My Dr. prescribed the usual "7-day medication period" (antibiotics/codeine-laced cough syrup).
-He also reminded me that most OTC cold&flu meds containing the good stuff was no longer readily available, and really aren't that effective anyway. No scripts for them.
-Instead he suggested a few home-made remedy stand-bys: Warm salt-water solutions for: nasal washes and gargling...to relieve my stuffiness and throat soreness...
-He also suggested that these "operations" should:
Not be performed at the same time and with different saline-solution batches, as well.
-He also proposed my using menthol sprays/rubs for their cool, pain-numbing effect; but, to also show respect for people down-wind!
Whatta Guy...Be that Dr. friend of mine...My head is still spinning!!

That's a sterling example of your: "new word of the day"!!
rops:(As suspected, a different use of it comes to mind.)
-A buddy of mine called last week...Said he wanted me to take a look at his boat that he 'dry-docked' at his residence, instead of the Four Seasons Yacht Club down in Cincinnati, where he normally would do so for the winter. OK, I told him. (He knows I rarely "detail" boats.)
-Upon arrival, and, once I started the "Walk About Mate", I discovered, and pointed out to him, an unusual looking gouge on the hull, below the water-line.
-I asked him WTH happened. He said: "Although we were anchored at sea, we felt something that went: 'Bump in the night'...that literally rocked the boat!...And we began to take on a little water".
-I inquired if his insurance agent had been contacted. Yeah, my buddy said, that his agent had already taken a look and suggested to use either a Weld-On or JB-Weld product for subaqueous applications.
I told my buddy that, even though Weld-On products were used in the boat fabrication industry; and, that I had used a few JB-Weld products for things like PVC piping repairs; I really wasn't comfortable "repairing" this gouge for continuous subaqueous applications...That further pursuit for an insurance-settlement may be in order.
-{Sounded to me as if the Insurance agent wasn't in the mood to cough-up (no pun intended, Tundra_10...I know you don't feel well) the dough for what I would consider a 'proper repair'/replacement?.}
Back to the 'bump-in-the-night'.
-While having a few beverages with my buddy, as we were waiting for his agent to: 'Revisit the scene', I told him of my curiosity about the creature that could have gouged his vessel. As everyone knows...There are many unknown terrors of the deep that are possible.
One such terrifying creature may be the Great White, as shown by "clicking on the address" below. [Please adjust (+) your volume control]

FUNX725, as always thank you for the post. I liked your little story, it added a certain flare to your contribution!
Yeah, today was definitely one of those days I should have taken a day off. I think I was running a fever, my nose would not stop running, head throbbing. Ugh! Tomorrow if not feeling better I am going to the grocery store to try some of your concoctions. I couldn't bear to do anything but go straight home today.

Another late submission and I apologize. I feel like a gorilla hit me in the back of my head with a baseball bat.

I would like to be in attendance to observe: "The Tables Being Turned"...
When Tundra_10 has recovered from what ails hims.
I imagine that the: Three Strike Rule...will be suspended...And the baseball-'batting' will not be lambently inflicted on the behemoth. Perhaps even Stygian in nature! Whack him once for me, Ol' Buddy!!
