Nora, good luck with whatever you decide to do with the job.
Teppy, I hope they figure out was is wrong with your dad soon so that he can feel better.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Teppy, I hope they figure out was is wrong with your dad soon so that he can feel better.
The latest update is that they think it's an enlarged prostate (not unusual in a 64-year-old man) that's been untreated for long enough that the pain spread. Easy enough to treat with drugs (if prostatitis is, in fact, what it is).
And I got the fun of hearing my dad say "prostate." After he first mis-pronounced it as "prostrate," making me think of badfic writers everywhere.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
That reminds me of a recent debate I had over the spelling of come/cum. With a 15 year old.
I'm going to hell.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The same 15 year old that dubbed it "The Nawty Worm"?

What is even happening?
Why would badf...
I never asked it. Never.
Teppy, I hope they can provide your dad with some relief, and that the diagnosis is correct.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm probably going to hell for thinking it would be fun to watch Hugh Laurie have that conversation.

My Dad mispronounces lots and lots and LOTS of words, and I feel like the Worst Daughter EVAR that, after 34 years, I still cringe every. single. time. Yesterday he was reading me what was written on his iv bag (sodium chloride 0.45%), and he read it as sodium chloroform, and insisted 3 times that that was what it said.

I'm going to hell for thinking "The dad from Wonder Years??" everytime someone mentions Hugh Laurie.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
askye, you can totally make it, because you are Teh Awesome.
{{{{{sj}}}}} Oh, you poor thing! I'm glad Dave and your mom are able to be there for you.
Fay! Love hearing the job search updates - it sounds so exotic.
Nora, good luck on the decision. A day sounds excessive, but I'm lazy like that.

Punishingly Intricate

oh I have that with my dad too. I don't just cringe but I often correct him in a super-exasperated tone of voice. It makes me crazy (both him doing it and my reaction). I somehow think that if he just tries hard enough he'll be able to pronounce things like a normal person.
