Dear Rue,
Thank you for your mercy. And thank you for your welcome.
You may call me “Another”.
Sue
p.s. After I submit this, I’ll try to figure out how to update my profile.
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…
-Rue.
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, 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 has been up. Sheesh. I work so hard and this is the thanks I get…
And there was the Extra Added Sunday Post…
-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
Ever-helpful, I rush to point out minor mistakes…
I don’t thing you wrong. But then, I don’t frequently thing wrongs. It’s impolite in mixed company and the wrongs get embarressed.
[sub]Welcome to the boards![/sub]
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.
To quote my grandson: “oh, my goodness, oh, my gracious” (he’s three and trying really hard not to swear, I don’t have the heart to tell him that this is sort-of-like swearing…) My evil twin must have sabotaged my profile. 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

Forget the movies, action figures and book deal.
I see a huge gigantic world for you.
Self Help …excuse me…Empowerment Seminars!
You could fill the Astro Dome, SuperDome and Sky Dome with
*Empower Your Day The Rue De Day Way *
Wait, you could do…dare I suggest…INFOMERCIALS!
Gah, this is all so very exciting! I am quivering with excitiment, my eyes have glazed over in a hypnotic slack jawed manner.
I feel better already. I feel like buying real estate with no money down.
Can I call you GURU RUE?
Shirley, what an inspiration!! And there are plenty of Dopers to fill the audience and cheer enthusiastically or gasp in amazement as appropriate. I’m going to start working on my personal testimonial right away! Someone artistic needs to design GuruRue t-shirts!
Oh, the possibilities!!
