Until college, my big hard-to-spell word was "separate." I always had to write both "seperate" and "separate" and stare at them both before I would pick out the correct one. Then, my boss at the college library told me his trick for spelling it: "Just remember, there's always A RAT in 'sep-a-rate.'" Since then, I've never had a problem with it!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I caught a snippet the press conference this morning when Bush was taking questions and it seemed to me that he was razzing one of the reporters about his tie, but apparently forgot the word "tie" and called it a "scarf" then "that thing around your neck", then said something else sorta strange. I was making the kids' breakfast at the time so I didn't really catch it all, but it came across as very strange. Hopefully TDS will pick it up. It was surreal.
I hope so. I avoided the press conference per usual. But at my dentist, they have these small, flat panel screen tv's on the walls in all the treatment rooms so the patients can watch tv and Shrub was seemingly on every channel. The assistant was nice enough to switch it to something else for me when I requested it.
It's the internet. All that bad spelling is contagious. You've been infected.
I don't know whether to be pleased that there's someone else to blame, or worried about it getting worse.

Nice. I'm always paranoid about asking for channel changes on public tvs.
To really disgust Hec, check out the sooo cute kitty!!
Hey! Keep it in the F2F kitty ghetto!
What're you looking for bon?

Me, too. They always have Fox News in the waiting room, which I ignore. But the treatment rooms are just me, so I figure I should at least get to choose. Besides, root canal AND Bush at the same? Throw in a little rectal surgery and it's the best day ever.

Say that to my face. Oh that's right you can't talk today. Kitty whisperer.

I want my old haircut back, except I have no idea how to describe it, a vague recollection of what it looked like, and I think all the pictures are probably gone. Perhaps I should have put that in bullet points for Jesse.
You'll need to take that to the committee.
No!! Not THE COMMITTEE!!!! Anything but THE COMMITTEE!!!
Yes, it's been a long day in Corporate America.
