DR George, I loved the photo of you and DR TCB. I wish it were a little lighter, but you two seem to be having a good time together.

Thanks, Larry! Once I get on my desktop computer, I might be able to lighten it a bit...if I ever get my butt outta bed.

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.

~~~Respiratory Vibes for Annabelle!!~~~

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

Additional congrats on your millstone, Fred!

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.

Tom, if it can be arranged (I start rehearsal on Monday), up for another adventure??

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

Perhaps it is too early in the morning for me, but I don't understand this one.

I think Ron's spellcheck corrected his attempt at a deliberate mistake.

Many of the usual errors don't bother me. I am bothered, however, by the disappearing commas. Commas bring clarity. I've always been a fan of what's sometimes called the Oxford comma (commas in a series), but I leave that to the author's discretion. There are many, many examples of other missing commas, even in the NY Times.

I probably tend to overuse commas.

Back -- from my first visit to IKEA in at least two decades.

And I'm actually kind of pleased to report that, to my perception, nothing has changed.

Including the meatballs.

George · « **Reply #99 on:** March 31, 2018, 02:31:13 PM »

And now, I need to get my butt outta bed and at least do some laundry and clean up a bit.

Be back later.

I didn't buy anything, nor had I intended to. I just wanted to take it all in, and look at a few specific things (mainly, shelving). It's on the New Haven "waterfront", and was most enjoyable.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #102 on:** March 31, 2018, 02:41:55 PM »

That followed a wonderful session with a good musician friend who gave me lots of pointers in learning the musical application MainStage.

Today is a really fine, quite beautiful early spring day. And boy, do we deserve it. Now here's our weather forecast for Sunday evening through Monday, which, to the best of my knowledge, is not an April Fool's joke.

Sunday Night 90% Precip. / ~ 1 in
Partly cloudy in the evening then becoming cloudy with periods of snow after midnight. Low 28F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 90%. About one inch of snow expected.

Monday
04/02
46 | 30 °F
Monday 100% Precip. / 1-3 in
Snow during the morning will give way to partly cloudy conditions during the afternoon. High 46F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.

Monday Night 10% Precip. / 0 in
Mainly clear skies. Low around 30F. Winds light and variable.

In a little bit of time, the First Final Four game will start - and the result will dash the hopes of either DR GINNY or MYSELF.

Laura · « **Reply #108 on:** March 31, 2018, 02:56:21 PM »

We are going to be in the 90s. Too warm to walk the 2.5 miles home from the public transportation.

Vixmom, no wonder your job is so stressful! Here I thought it was the long hours! Listening to this person for even a day would drive me nuts!

“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.

I know someone who always writes "their" instead of "there."

A beautiful sunny, but cold, day in the nation's capital (not capitol)!

I would think you would be used to the heat. Will some one pick you up from the public transportation or will you drive instead?

Laura · « **Reply #118 on:** March 31, 2018, 03:12:03 PM »

I have been walking 2.5 miles each way to the light rail station so that I can get some walking in. It's great in the morning; but Thursday it was pretty warm coming home. If I park at the park and ride lot, I won't get in any walking.

Very happy to hear the vet was able to give Annabelle something today.

The vet washed out her nasal passages and I think it did a world of good. I just discovered a huge wad of cat snot on my bedspread.
