Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Congratulations, Jesse!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No more live daytime tv for you!

Hee!

Now I'm extra super glad I made that massage appointment. I can afford it and everything!!!

In reverse order:

Yeah, Jesse!

I still think she's an idiot, Allyson, but I'm glad there didn't appear to be any real malice.

Yeah, Allyson, on the great plug!

and...

I hope your jaw is feeling better, and really, I don't think any normal person would expect friendliness after a normal dental appointment, much less after yours. I'm impressed that you maintained civility.

Probably missed other stuff, so punctuation to whoever needs it!

And yes, the exclamation points are all mine!!!!!1!

When using phrases like "I wonder..." etc., should the sentence end with a question mark?

No. You wouldn't put a question mark at the end of "I asked him where my wombat is" either. It is a fact that you wondered.

I could see putting a question mark at the end in dialogue, but even then you need some other punctuation. Like: "I wonder, have you seen my wombat?" Sort of Wodehousian.

I have a snot-monster living in my head. This is not of the good.

Yay Jesse. Congratulations! And you are not a sucker. You followed a rule of negotiations lots of people forget. Once you've won,don't keep fighting!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, you guys! That's an excellent point, Typo, thanks. I was all psyched up to negotiate for the first time ever, but really, I didn't have to.
