“Your” when they mean “you’re”.

(I think all the contractions are regularly botched nowadays.)

“Myself” instead of the correct “I” or “me”.

And very likely at the top of my list, our national “loose” disaster that vixmom beat me to.

And there is a man, a well educated man, I correspond with on a daily basis for business, who always uses "there" for "their" . I intentionally respond every time with the correct spelling, hoping he'll pick up on it; but it's been twelve plus years and he hasn't yet.

"There/their/they're" ranks right up there with "your/you're" and "loose/lose". And never mind just the kids today. It's as though an entire population of boomers has willingly tossed their second grade education out the window. It's disgusting.

As I once explained to someone. You lose weight, you lose keys , you loose the hounds

You can't LOSE if you stay LOOSE as a GOOSE.

Annabelle's deeply congested. It might be another respiratory infection, but she might have inhaled too much crap in the wreckage of Jaymie's bathroom two days ago. I hope I can get her to the vet today.

Oh no. I hope they can pin down, and soon, what bothers her so. Is she hacking or coughing, or is this just something in her breathing? It's sounding to me like she's got a little of what Poe's got. X-rays showed it to be some asthma, which was making him cough, not wheeze like a person -- for which he's now on a steroid. But he developed this as an adult cat.

I'll be sure to ask on Wednesday (while not asking Wednesday, if you catch my drift) if I MAY play my cross-hand piece.

TOD:

I've worked with an enormously gifted collaborator who would routinely write "loose" for "lose" and "waive" for "wave" - and must have thought they were correct because when I fixed the spelling, the words got changed back when the script got volleyed back. Since it wasn't worth the discomfort of correcting out loud, I'd let it be when the collaborator sent scripts out, but changed it in scripts where I sent them out (which took just a minute; I'd just use the "find"/"replace" feature and voila! I figured - maybe foolishly - that if any producer or script screener at a theatre rejected the script or lost interest because of that type of misspelling, we may all be in the wrong business.

)

its and it's - On spellcheck for some programs, the system simply won't let us type "its" without the apostrophe. Spellcheck insists on adding the apostrophe even when the apostrophe is incorrect. Sometimes the email goes out wrong, but usually I end up totally rewording!

John G- I sent you an email re your San Antonio question last night. I didn't want to put the people's name on here in case the people get googled.

I slipped by 27000 posts. I didn't even notice the millstone with last night's holiday frivolity.

My friend Ben Davis is playing the lead in Kiss Me, Kate in Seattle. DRs TCB and George, you should take him donuts to the stage door.

Anabelle will see Dr Romero, Thatch's vet, at 10:30. This is good.

TOD: I despise people who say things like "Myself and two others...."

Why, "Hello, Myself. That's a funny first name."

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #40 on:** March 31, 2018, 06:12:08 AM »

And there are those who insist on spelling "separate" as "separate".

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #41 on:** March 31, 2018, 06:17:57 AM »

I agree that yesterday wasn't all that hot.

I went with my mom, my aunt and a neighbor's mother-in-law to Juniper in Ridge Spring. That is where we often have Friday meals of shrimp and grits. I was not in a mood for shrimp and grits, so I had a grilled reuben with a side of potato salad and a kosher dill. Dee-LISH!

We then went to Walmart in Batesburg and then returned to Johnston. The neighbor's mother-in-law never took a breath with her incessant chatter. She was determined we were to know everything about her fabulous life. She's a very nice lady and she has had an interesting life, but there was just a bit too much "drama" in the telling for my taste.

We also attended the Good Friday service at Johnston First Baptist Church at 7 p.m. The day was full, but a bit too much in one day.

I'm sick of the fact that no one today knows the difference between objective and nominative cases.

Annabelle saw Dr Romero, Thatch's pretty doctor, today. Dr Romero flushed out her nasal passages and gave her a prescription of Clavamox. Since we do not know if the upper respiratory infection is back or if it's the dirt and dust allergies, we want to keep her healthy for the dentist.

By the way, Nursie, you were right and I was misinformed: a specialist will do Annabelle's dental work.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 31, 2018, 08:44:42 AM »

Annabelle was very well behaved. She was the only cat in a waiting room full of dogs. She stayed quiet and watched from the safety of her carrier. One young man had the most adorable puppy in a red harness with little wings and a leash. He was having a good time playing with the other dogs when he pooped on the floor. The young man had a bundle of plastic baggies in his coat pocket, took one, and scooped the mess up. I was quite impressed.

I'm very happy I made the decision to see the vet this morning. Now I must clean the litter and get to Me & My Girl.

Well it must be spring... The annual ant invasion has begun. I could understand if they were in my kitchen, I'd be upset, but I would understand; but why do they congregate in the bathtub?

I think they are voyeurs
