HUMP DAY! We're rollin' into another Wednesday WORD PLAY. The word is: exasperate!
Usage: I am exasperated over the thoindividualssome indivduals can not step up to the plate and take ownership of their lives as an adult. Instead they find the means to make tresponsibilitiessponsibilitites those of others. Heck I am exasperated that I had to even mention this issue.
Again, the "play" portion...any comment you leave must use the word exasperate in it. Your response can be about anything ~ the post, me (watch it!), something about you, something happening in your life. Knock yourself out thinking of something serious, humorous, or off-beat to comment about. As always, just have fun with it!
