Good work!

Maybe "SHE" should reconsider marriage. Many couples, according to reports, stop having sex as soon as they're married. So marriage might suit her perfectly. :-)

"MY VOCAB PRACTICE."

1. Apolitical.

3. Asymmetrical.

4. Asexual.

6. Anemic.

7. Anesthetize
   After the patient was anesthetized, the surgery went well, and the doctor was pleased with how efficient his staff performed their duties during the 5 hour procedure.

[majes.tytyty]

Good work!

In today's world, everyone should be apolitical, since most politics is such a meaningless charade.

[grainsofsand]

Ain't that the truth!

   If you were to walk into the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, you will see a family of female whiptail lizards, an asexual lizard that gains twice the usual number of chromosomes in order to give birth, have grown in size because of the chemist down the hall conducting secret experiments after hours.

[tristancarax]

When I'm at the YMCA, I can't see pictures because the internet blocks them for some reason. So today, I looked at the examples and put together my sentences.

I'm also doing this half blind. When I was pack up my things this morning, I got a leaf or hard flower to the eye. My vision has been blurring all day.

[majes.tytyty]

Ya, I know the images are sometimes invisible. Last year, I looked at my blog on my brother's laptop, and was shocked to find that none of the images or photos were visible.

I hope you got the leaf out of your eye!! That should make things a bit clearer.

[majes.tytyty]

Good work!

[guruvaj]

This is the first time I take notice of this vocab ability.

Is this somewhat a speaking practice or a writing exercise?

Writing

Read the instructions in the post. You can use my comment as a guide

[majes.tytyty]

More of a writing / vocabulary practice. Please take part if you're interested. Rules are included in each post.

And you can see the samples of other participants in past posts.

Hi @majes.tytyty,

I see you are getting a lot of action and really working people these days with the vocab posts. I really love this project and have sent it to a few people recently. I also just ran into a lady who runs a school here in KL. I told her about this and she MIGHT have her students try. Can you imagine getting a class of kids to join steem just for this reason? I am hopeful as she thought it was a great idea. We've just got the issue of the dreaded account set up and rc crisis etc... But you never know.

Did you get the account set up figured out? Let me know if not.

And once again, thank you so much for the delegations. It's great all around and we can vote better, but my baby @fitinfunfood has benefited the most. I am so grateful to you.

Today, I am here to ask for help in another q contest. A 1% vote counts. You can see me fail at shooting birds in the pic lol.

I hope your day is going well as mine is. It's nice and cool in KL today but still getting ready to downpour soon.

Take care,

Sharon
