Someone make me get dressed and go to therapy. It's raining here again and I feel lousy.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[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.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Ugh, vw! Sorry for the nasty reaction. Also, insent.
I apparently took on everyone's difficulty in sleeping last night and I feel whiny. I'll try to spare you though.
The comma/apostrophe thing was very funny, and made me smile.
Fay, I remember people's birthdays, but not usually on the actual day. I have yahoo reminders sent to my email so I can try to send (e)cards, and that doesn't always work either. Fortunately I'm not the only one in my family with this predicament.
Enjoyed Plei's article, although I know not from comics.
Here's hoping for a smashing result on Hil's exam!

{{vw}} What an awful way to start the day.
Oh! Pretty dress. Love summer dresses.

Even more exam vibes to Hil.
Apparently sleeping was the "in" thing to do last night. I also finally slept (yay codeine!) and am definitely improved this morning. There's still wheezing and coughing, but it's much more subdued.

Not only did I sleep well last night, I got to sleep in a bit this morning. In fact, I'm still at home in my jammies.
I DO have to get dressed soon as I have a doctor's appt in 45 minutes. Luckily his office is around the corner from my house. This is with my hemotologist. Hopefully I won't need the weekly iron treatments anymore. I feel so much better than I did at the start of the year.

This is Comma King, reporting live from Spike's Bitches, where local Aimee Conat is requesting help with a paragraph, already in progress.
Knowing exactly what the company does, and familiarizing yourself with their services and products, will give you the opportunity to emphasize your skills, and illustrate how hiring you would be beneficial to them.
Mrs. Conat, all of these commas are extraneous and ungrammatical, but I will defer to your stylistic choice.
Comma King, reporting.
Comma-King, can you tell us how we can better punctuate this sentence? Should we just delete all the commas? Won't that action bring about a war?
Remember the Geneva Convention, Mrs. Conat. That sentence will read perfectly smoothly, and the commas will be home with their wives. No blood need be spilled on their behalf.
Ted, it appears we have a late rebuttal from the Eastern Time Zone. We go live to Iron-Fist Editor. Iron-Fist?
Deleting all the commas in that sentence, while grammatically acceptable, results in one long-ass sentence with no pauses whatsoever. Here at Iron-Fist Editing, LLC, we would delete *only* the last comma (found after the word "skills"). We feel it makes the sentence read much better, by throwing in a visual pause for the reader to catch a breath.

Hey Empress, You do know about the CWE and WritePoint, right? While I love the Buffista editing services, for late night, just wanna get it done, or even "gosh, which way might the teacher check it" type answers, WritePoint is fast and easy.

What is even happening?

Here, at PCAA*, we support the original rendering, with all of the lovely commas left, as is. We would accept, with less pleasure, a second, less en-commaed approach, deleting all commas, save the second (between products and will).
