Aimée -She went next door and came back with three parakeets.
Lunch? did she share? Do they come plucked? Or do you swallow whole (a la Sylvester)? ;)
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
My assistant used to come back from her break with live lobster or crab. I'd be talking with her and the bag in the corner of her office would twitch. Very disturbing, and yet I miss it.

Isn't it usually "definitively" proved, rather than definitely proved?
I think both are OK. And "definitively" carries the connotation of authoritatively, and unchangeably. (I think in some definitions that is even the denotation.) Whereas "definitely" means "certainly", but is still subject to change. I definitely have a quarter in my pocket, but I don't definitively have a quarter in my pocket, because after I park downtown and put it in the meter, I will no longer have that quarter.

What is even happening?
I don't like either "definitely" or "definitively" between the "am" and the "proved" (or "proven").
That said, I think it's:
I have been proved wrong
or
I am proven wrong
I'd lose either "def" word, but if you want one, put it before the "wrong".

Oh, this is funny. I'm talking to an office full of fairly young sounding people. In the background I hear a guy talking to a girl: "And he was trying to do the whole Friends Forever thing, then they had The Talk." And the girl's going "Uh huh, uh huh." It's like listening to High School Tech, gossip interspersed with techie talk. The person's buddies are ragging him about needing to be walked through some steps, and he says, "These are my henchmen." "It's good to have minions," I said. He told them what I said, and they all went "Ooo."

It looks like I might have a new job
Yeah beth! I hope it works out wonderfully for you and that the shorter commute and better hours make up for the lesser pay.
