Faboo job, **'Nother**. You dropped that spelling error in just for me. Didn’t you? You skamp. -Rue. ---

Hey Ray, how about an investment guide? Think you’d be good at telling me where I should put my money and what stocks to buy. Kinda round out your offering of wisdom by putting my money where your mouth is. ---

Ray’s not here. But I’ll give it a whirl… > [@](#): > > What to invest in? > Hmmm… > Invest in our future. [Mentor](http://www.mentoring.org/index.adp). > > Or did you mean, like, money? With money, I like to invest in CD’s. I finally got the old Chumbawamba CD, _Tubthumper_. I really like it alot. I’ll sing along with it for hours. The CD isn’t hours long, but I sing slow. They Might Be Giants has a new CD out. I might invest in that one too. > > Sometimes I’ll scrape together all of my disposable income and dispose of it. Just throw it away.

No fees involved, either. And you can rest assured it won’t sully up the environment either. Nope. When I dispose of something, it stays disposed. > > Something else you might think of is buying people presents. People like that. Just getting presents for no good reason.

Hey, now you have me expecting a new episode of Random Acts of Rue every Monday morning, but I get a rerun. Not exactly a rerun, sort of an update on last week’s topic, but you get the idea. What am I supposed to put in my coffee? And the baby Sumatran rhino was a tad disapppointing, you can only watch him via a monitor. Here’s a [zoo link](http://www.cincyzoo.org/), but he sure looks animatronic in this link. Maybe something from ILM. The tiger and white lions cubs are all cuties worth seeing, though. ---

Whine, whine, whine… **Shibb** you posted this at 8:30-ish. For a whole hour, the [New Improved Monday Morning Post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=89093) has been up. Sheesh. I work so hard and _this_ is the thanks I get… _And_ there was the [Extra Added Sunday Post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=88979)… -Rue. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rue DeDay \* > \*\*Faboo job, **'Nother**. > You dropped that spelling error in just for me. Didn’t you? You skamp. > -Rue. \*\* Um, no, I didn’t troll with a spelling error. However, the “skamp” definition isn’t unjustified – but you’d have no way of know that yet, unless you know someone at Bear Creek. I have read, reread, and re-reread my post, and I don’t see an error in spelling. Hmm, did you think it was in “And thank you for your welcome.”? Because, I really meant, thank you for your welcoming gesture. Which would be correct. (No, I don’t weasel out of errors.) I didn’t mean, thank you, for, you’re welcome. Who would mean THAT? If not, what is it? -Sue p.s. Is my profile TOO MUCH detail? I mean, I live in a rural area. Am I being too rube? The other day, I spelled a word wrong in a work email and caught 23 messages about it, since I’m so fussy and freely obnoxious about giving my friends grief about misspellings or bad grammar, particularly apostrophes. I’m the east-coast-devil. Sue ---

Yeah, what **Puddin’** said. Also, I’m… what’s the word?.. like “very well known” only different… notorious?.. I’ll go with “notorious”… notorious for really bad spelling. I have my own Demon to follow me around pointing out my errors. **’Nother** , with you I was just kidding. No harm meant. (And your bio’s Jake.) -Rue. ---

I can’t blame it on being drunk, because I don’t drink anymore. I’ve fixed my profile. Thanks, **Francesca**. And, **Rue** , as you’ve already figured out, I thought you meant my spelling error was in the post. Too dense to realize you meant the profile. Thanks. -Sue, humbled (it happens all the time) but not quite humiliated ---
