Modify noun:

my, your, his, her, its, our, their, whose

Correct:

That is her computer.

I love Grammar Slammer for these kinds of things.

ohhhhh.... i know whose (who's??) posts you've been reading!!! :crying:

Oh, I just pulled that out of my head from the collective sanctimonious posts I've encountered here. Yikes if that actually made you think of an individual! :ohmy:

BTW, I heart the word "sanctimonious". Just saying...

Lulu I see what you are saying. I think it is the posts that say "I am throwing up blood, what should I do" that piss people off. I mean seriously they should not be on here asking advice, they should be in the ER.

I get ya! I pretty much gleam past those because, telling one to call a Dr doesn't appear to be what they want to hear.

I'm pretty sympathetic to some who appear scared / without a strong support system - or like me in the beginning had a lot of questions / concerns. Many on this thread were kind to my early psycho stages, to reply.

I understand raising concerns about overt medical issues like "puking blood" that need to be addressed by a Dr. But other times people ask questions because they want to hear about other's experiences. This is one way to learn.

I understand and agree with that entirely. What I have a problem with is some people telling others it is ok to ignore adverse problems and say

"It is ok, I did it" "I did that too, you'll be ok."

It is perfectly ok to tell sokone your experience, but NOT OK TO TELL THEM THEY WILL BE OK JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE!

exactly BBK.

'i ate chicken and steak 6 days post op, is that OK'?

sure, i did it too, no problems - you'll be fine... how do YOU know that they will be fine?

This hits on one of my general life pet peeves. Anyone's personal experience does not write the "law" of what will happen, especially when the topic at hand is 99.99% subjective. Oh I do hate that so.
