Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay, Nora!
I have to leave for work in a few minutes. I'll be working with the big weenie. Now that bosslady has told him to suck it up and actually listen to me, his presence no longer feels so malevolent. It just feels empty - like I'm the only grown up mind there. Compared to this, working with the itty bitty high school girls is sooooooooo much fun.
It says that the event will happen at "eleven-thirty o'clock with a gift presentation at twelve-thirty o'clock." Is that correct?
No. And it bugs me on principle too.
Me too. Without going too far into research, it is my understanding that Time is represented as o'clock only on full hours. I would have also suggested to use am or pm to indicate time of day. I think that time is thus represented, if you want to be formal:
Eleven o'clock am
Eleven-thirty am
Twelve o'clock noon
Twelve-thirty pm
(Etc.)
From that you can do variations, such as adding "in the morning" or numerals and variations therof. I personally prefer numerals for important times in notes, to me times seem more rigid with "11:30 am" than "eleven-thirty am," your time sense may vary.
I'm even okay with 12 am and 12 pm, even though technically 12 pm doesn't exist, being that 12 noon is meridian.
I killed the thread
The thread's not dead, it's just resting its eyes.
I'm glad to know that eleven thirty o'clock is actually wrong. It sounds so bad it should be, but the people who sent out my invitation are supposed to be good at that sort of stuff. After all, it's a big part of their job.
Does puppycat eat directly out of the bag?
My cats will excavate food out of a new bag if I leave it out, but I have a large canister that I keep their food in and they leave it alone even if it is open.
Sadly in my brief research, I did not find a flat out, authoritative statement that said "o'clock shall only be used with solid hours."
I have achieved farmer's market (barely, but I just wanted to grab some sunflowers) and survived Trader Joe's. I bailed on two other grocery stores while shopping though because they were just too crowded for trash bags and something else that I can't recall now.
Puppycat doesn't eat directly from the bag (though kittenish has "liberated" bags before when their food actually did run low in the bowl. she opened a cabinet, pulled the bag out and shredded a corner to free the kibble inside.) but she's a little touched in the head. Wants to be fed in the morning. Even if her bowl is full. A little fresh food sprinkled on the top works.
Windsparrow, I hope work can become something that fills you with less dread.
Sadly in my brief research, I did not find a flat out, authoritative statement that said "o'clock shall only be used with solid hours."o'clock shall only be used on the hour. If there are minutes mentioned, there shall be no o'clock. There. Decreed. Because I am too lazy to find my style book.
Trader Joe's has Jamaican-style ginger beer. It's gingerrific. Why did no one tell me about this?
Ok...that is quite possibly one of the cutest things I've ever seen in my life.
