Aww did I take the wind out of your sails? <evil laugh>

Kiddo - I long ago copped to being a nerd!!! Hell, I get a weekly email from theexceladdict.com, tyvm. Um and hello I have even had a hint published with him. I am a HUGE NERD that will be a SMALLER NERD once I'm banded!!! :cursing:

If you will go back and re-read my original post, I put, "I think the second option is technically correct but I don't like it, dangit!" So, hi hello, I have already conceded the point. Tapshoes - good damn point!!!

Glou - I have found that listing the questions in numbered bullet forms helps. It's not perfect but it helps. Oftentimes, at least at my org, they will answer after the question! To clarify - 1. Question? 2. Question? et al

Hysterical! Does she have a set of glamour shots?!?

I will do as well as IndioGirl55!!! I will do as well as IndioGirl55!!!

Surprisingly for a southerner, I don't do tea!

Um, red, white, and blue are separate colors; therefore, the extra comma. (white and blue aren't buddies more than red is with the others!) It's less confusing. :thumbup: Using Commas 5. Use commas to separate three or more words, phrases, or clauses written in a series. The Constitution establishes the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. The candidate promised to lower taxes, protect the environment, reduce crime, and end unemployment. The prosecutor argued that the defendant, who was at the scene of the crime, who had a strong revenge motive, and who had access to the murder weapon, was guilty of homicide.

Gasp - You use the apostrophe correctly and then you go in the crapper with the commas!!!

My favorite CL is raspberry lemonade. Yum!

Aww it's OK, Plain, just gives the rest of us a reason to pop you upside the head!!! :thumbup:

RUDE!!! YEA, WHAT SUSAN SAID! HECK YES IT IS! 3 against 1, Plain, so neener!

Aww shit, girl....I will keep you in my thoughts. Stay positive and KNOW it will work out OK. <sending positive vibes> :thumbup:

I'd forgotten about the apostrophe problem! It's (it is) a good thing for It to use Its grammar correctly! (What a horrible sentence, haha) I've always been torn since I learned about apostrophes as my last name ends in an S. Is it Jones' or Jones's?!? Both are correct! (No, not my real last name.) I also got into an argument with a bf in grad school about commas. I strongly believe it's "red, white, and blue" and he argued for "red, white and blue." So I got my grammar book out! :thumbup: I think the second option is technically correct but I don't like it, dangit!

I can definitely see that, Plain!

Stewie rocks!!

Posting to say that female body builders scare me. If you know one or are one, I am sorry. There's a British one on TLC right now and she sounds like a man. She's trying for Ms. Olympian and has done damage to her wrists lifting those heavy heavy weights. :-( I'm sure she's grossed about by MO folks like me! *hugs* for BBK.

I'm a numbers nerd for a living so I say "one hundred ninety-two DOT six"!!! Another one I thought of this morning was "she is the older of two siblings" or "he is the oldest of 3" (or more).

Happy Belated and oh HELL YEA to margaritas!!!

Don't feel gyped. She was beyond ugly to me.

I'd read that he was sick but to DIE of pneumonia at 50 is just shocking to me. I'd also read that he was doing well on his treatment. I'm just sick for his family. The first time I ever saw him was in "Kings of Comedy." I remember just laughing my fool head off and wondering how I'd never heard of him (or Cedric for that matter). So tragic; his great smile and humor will definitely be missed.

Unbelieveable.....unsubscribing to my own thread.

Clearly, some people don't understand the written word. Calling someone "fat" on here is unbelievable.

OK anyway...

Gadget - I'm going to have to look this up to clarify. $10 says I say this wrong!! I love learning!
