*Talking about whether two of our friends would be a good match*
Hubs: They’re not interested in the same things
Me: So? I’m not into lacrosse or basketball, Neopets, Star Wars, Lord of Rings...
Hubs: It’s like you’re trying to make me sad that I married you
fyi MapQuest is NOT renaming the Gulf of Mexico — not because of politics but because we haven’t updated our maps in like 15 years and don’t remember how to do it
Thank you
To my daughter
For pointing to my pimples
And saying ow-wee
Ow-wee
Ow-wee
Again
And again
And again.
I could not have found them
Without your help.
At least
You kissed them
All better.
@EliMcCann I ask myself why I’m saying no and if it’s because I feel like I should because of some guilt imposed nonsense I internalized…I just say yes.
@em_agical@clhubes Yeah I get it as decor. I just think stuffing adult stockings is a form of scope creep stemming from something that is clearly for kids, then mom does it for the whole family because it would be weird not to, and feels neglected when dad doesn’t chip in.
I only proofread for adults when they ask for it or when I KNOW they would appreciate being corrected. No need to correct grammar or semantics if I understand the communication.
@sewistwrites Here’s where I’m of two minds:
1) the English literature nerd who is irked by every misspelling she sees
2) the Linguist who realizes that language is pliable, and that communication is effective as long as she understands what the speaker is conveying

I am hearing reports of some airlines only offering flight credits to passengers for cancelled flights. Let me be clear — you are entitled to get your money back promptly if your flight is cancelled and you don't take a rebooking.
