EXITS DRAMATICALLY

I reject your exit and place this in response.

I hope DR Jennifer is not freezing while playing at the festival.

I thought I mentioned That I didn't go. My sis would not let my niece go.

As someone who reads aa lot I really really hate finding errors in the books I read. I personally don' care about commas or who/whom. But I really dislike finding typos or things like that.

My mom took out Adele's concert from the library and loved it.

As for BK's comma example I really did NOT like the one with the commas.

My nose has been running today. Probably from the cold.

One last posting, with a two-part comment, from me on commas around exclamations.

I grew up reading that way, so I like it like that. Very conservative of me, I know.

The other is the difference between the following two phrases:

Let's eat, Grandma

Let's eat Grandma.

You are correct. The second one sounds much better.

I knew you didn't want to go. When you disappeared I thought you had gone.

This discussion today reminds me of that book that was making the rounds a couple of years ago

Eats, Shoots and Leaves

Obviously one needs the comma before Grandma - understood. In the sentence above, however, the comma after two-part comment totally takes me out of the sentence. Apples and oranges, I suspect.

The Federal is a weird place. I had three appetizers - pulled pork, which was not too good, mac-and-cheese, which was "smoky" and therefore not much to my liking, and a grilled artichoke, which was great (and a great dipping sauce for it). The winner was dessert - peanut butter pie.

John G. · « **Reply #193 on:** February 12, 2012, 09:03:09 PM »

Night, all. I will be dreaming of peanut butter pie. And the same sweet dreams to the rest of you.

I only stayed for Betsy's 5 o'clock show, JR, and she did fine. She was a little nervous, which probably only I realized and therefore had a tendency to say "you know," which I've never heard her do before under any circumstances, but other than that, she got some nice laughs and people seemed to really enjoy her. Her biggest laugh always tends to be one of the jokes I gave her (naturally ). She does a routine about GPS and talks about how the voices are always female. She then says if the unit had a male voice, you'd stick in the address and it would say dismissively, "Yeah, I know where that is."

That's funny!

The real estate lady got here at three. She really only glanced at things to ascertain that everything was in good repair - she was very impressed with how clean I keep everything. I showed her the window with the rotting wood so she can report back that that really needs attending to very soon (I'm told they're working on it). But the best news was that they have no intention of selling for the reasons I stated yesterday. So, I think I can stay put here for at least a few more years.

Very good news, BK!

I have always found the title of the book FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS to be beautiful.

Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. However, all the league records were unfortunately destroyed in a fire. Thus we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.

Here's something that I just found on Facebook.
