When Fireman Bob convinced Jim to stop playing with matches, the neighborhood breathed a sigh of relief. A bit prematurely, it seemed. (135)

Carl had grown weary of Ted’s complaints.
“Still thirsty?” he yelled pugnaciously. (82)

The doctor hadn’t warned him about this, when he prescribed the diuretic.(73)

This week’s word was pugnacious.

    Hi, My post is up on my blog, but I guess I’m too early for the linky thingy, so I put my SY link under “website” above.
    I liked your first one, and your last one made me laugh, but I’m not sure about the second one.

    All very nice, GMa. My choice is first, ‘first is always best.’ :)
    Thank you for the prompts, the word and the picture seemed to fit pretty good this week. Are you sure there wasn’t peeking?

    Thanks, Jim. Nope, no peeking. To be honest, I didn’t find this week’s word that easy. If I chose the words, it wouldn’t have been that one. My kid gets the credit (or blame) for that. :D

    I thought I had commented last night, but I guess I just thought about it.
    I like the first one, too. Definitely didn’t like the second. Too scary.
    Tell your daughter I love the word of the week idea. It makes it much more fun for me.

    My third try at commenting.
    I like the first one best.
    And I really enjoy the word of the week, and usually try to use it. Please thank your daughter for me.

    Hmmm…For some reason I cannot find next week’s (Oct. 10th) picture. I’ve tried looking in a few places but still can’t find it. Help!
