I should have been doing something on Saturday that I've waited 30 years for....but thanks to my partner (who never wanted me to do the thing in the first place) plans have had to change. Now having to wait until 24th November instead. If it turns out that my partner suddenly decides something else absolutely must be done on that date I'm going to say I'm wise to him and do what I want to do anyway, regardless of whether it causes an argument or not.

I feel bad that I'm suspicious, but being honest I am suspicious.

I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Ok, ok, I know this sounds gimmicky (and I haven’t been drinking, yet) but I’m thinking to buy a robotic vacuum. I don’t have high standards I just want something that’ll clean up a bit between cleaning service visits.
Am I going to take it in the shorts and regret it if I do?
Oh yeah, will it eat my dogs? That’s a showstopper.

I had the urge to go that route, even researching extensively. However, it only took one video of what happens if a dog makes a "mistake" or the cat coughs up a fur ball, to cure me of the desire to own one. Still , the amount of hair that can be shed by two small (10lb) dachshunds and the Siamese who thinks God put them on earth for his entertainment, is truly unbelievable.

I heard about that!! Haha. Pretty compelling too.

Any place but here or there....

Don’t fret, I more than make up for the cost buying food for work 4 days a week.

And my own :mad: I cannot believe I have to annoy my neighbors downstairs and blast death metal right now because the people next door have no idea how to control their dogs barking at all hours (yes, 1:20 am). The only way these people respond is with noise, either me blowing up or blasting music. So I’ve noticed if I blast music, dog barking stops for days. Such fun.

I should be sleeping at the moment...and now I am too jacked up on Bolt Thrower, Asphyx and my own cranky...

In a coffee shop.
Wrong grammar being used regularly and becomes normal. Like mixing adverbs and adjectives.
“Available information for the below list ...”
Makes my skin crawl.

Oh, yes, agreed.

In an earlier life, I worked as an editor, and - while I have always loved the English language - this experience left me feeling extraordinarily homicidal or murderous towards those who thought to massacre the language - whether intentionally or otherwise.

Sometimes I feel like wearing this shirt:

One of the things that makes my skin crawl is the cavalier interchanging of “it’s” and “its.”

It’s become disturbingly common.

Make it your profile pic, just so everybody know.
I mean its your profile or otherwise the t-shirt could lose it’s value.
I had to think a little to (not) make that wrong.
Hope I did that glammar right :D
