Well, maybe if you don’t ask Rue to help. I hear he can’t even find the duct tape. And watch out for your gutter, he has a 4lb whacker he’s waiting to unleash. I heard that, too. Well, I read that.
Just watching out for you swampbear after being all worried about your heart stuff. Hope you’re doing well (seriously, too.)
Ask Caliph Arenschadd 
(Yes, I know it’s an obscure reference. Hint: Same author who wrote the Enchanted Forest Chronicles.) My personal favorite curse is the one that turns people blue. Lets 'em know you’re annoyed without inflicting grievous bodily harm. If, however, you WANT some GBH, there’s always the werewolf curse. Do you really want a pissed-off werewolf on your trail though? Maybe you better just stick their feet together.
I think I have it, though. Not snipping correctly is just one of those things that make you crazy, right? And every time you see it, you go, “GAH! She still doesn’t have it right! How stupid is this girl?” So, I understand, because I hate it when people mix up their and there, or two, too, and to.
But I am truly sorry and trying hard to get better, so will you forgive me?
I have a hard time believing this. You might convince me, if you tried hard enough, but I doubt it.
I’m glad you didn’t include “it’s” and “its” in your list of peeves Winnie. I might run you off screaming if that was something that grates on you. I am trying to get better at “lose” and “loose”, but that’s just because I can’t type rather than my not being able to spell.
Kick ass snips there too. Good on ya!
-Rue. (sour and snarky, really)
Ahh, but you see, I can’t complain about its and it’s, Rue; I get them wrong, too. If you watch me closely in the future, you’ll probably catch me doing it.
Thank you for the compliment on my snipping. 
What would it take to change that sour and snarky thing? I know, I could bake you a pie. What’s your favorite?
Pie is like kryptonite to sour and snarky.
(Like how I brought it back to the OP?)
I still don’t like pie all that much, but I just met an alien that I think is fine! No, really. the place where I work just hired a woman from Canada and I think I’m going to get along with her just fine. I don’t know if she likes pie or not, but I’ll ask her.
And Wintermute I’m depressed over not having a Bill or a Bob, don’t I rate an attempt to cheer me up?
Bill managed to soggy up the last 2 days of our vacation - I shall have a major post on that once I’m back in FL.
As to the other - the Perfect Child[sup]TM[/sup] and the boy have been here… constantly… in close quarters… Until today - they’ve gone to visit my mom for the night. So there’ll be some conjugatin’ later, boy howdy! On the boat, I mean - not at Mom’s.
woo hoo!! FCM…
this is your Lucky Day
Aww… thanks Salem for being all worried about me. My heart is fine. No problems, blockage or anything. So, I learned that not only do I have a heart, I have a good heart!
My privacy fence is done! The pool is done! I’m about to spend another small fortune on landscaping! Such an exciting life I have! My, that’s a lot of exclamation points!
Tomorrow is pool day at the swampcave. Got friends coming over to lounge around the pool and cook out and such. One special friend is coming tonight even. We’re gonna conjugate.
You don’t have a Bill or a Bob, I don’t have a Bill or a Bob, and Swampbear and FairyChatMom are talking about conjugatin’. Now I’m depressed, too.
C’mon over and we can commiserate over a couple of pints of Ben & Jerry’s, 'kay? (Or Haagen Daaz, pick your poison)
Sure, but if I’m commiserating about men, I’m gonna need something stronger than ice cream. First we have ice cream (Godiva for me, please) then we break out the booze. How do you feel about vodka?
I could bring some Latin verbs, so we could conjugate, too, but somehow I don’t think it would be as much fun without a Bill or a Bob. Or even a Fred.
I’m not much of a drinker, but you feel free. Have you tried that Godiva liqueur? Chocolate and alcohol!
Hey, all, I’m checkin’ out, and probably won’t be back until Mon. Have a great holiday, everyone!
