I recently switched from "pubically" to "publicly" because my students' dictionaries all spelled it the latter way. It bugs the heck out of me, but I'm trying to get used to it.

Timelies all. I'm up and have brewed coffee (though have not yet consumed said coffee) and am about to being Day One of the Great Grading Caper. (I'm trying to make it sound like a Muppet movie so that there's the possibility of unexpected hijinks or bears in Studebakers.)

I'm omphaloskepsizing right now AIFG!

t /lunch is over, runs away

I hope vw & Nora are having a nice lunch. I want to hug them both, but will have to be satisfied with them hugging each other.

But if you don't stand up, who will? You're letting the prescriptivists win!

we had a lovely lunch! SO GOOD to see The Bug again. wheee!

Also, my dr. appt. was good. Also, Aimee, it turns out I *wasn't* taking the Extended Release, as I thought, so you were right, that's exactly what he prescribed for me to take all first thing in the morning.

Yay Extended release!

Yay, Nora! I'm glad you were able to get that fixed without a lot of hassel. I hope you are able to sleep with the new pills.

Oh that is good news Nora. I was worried about you. How many milligrams is he having you take?

Nora, that's great news.

Right. When they came for publically, you remained silent, because you were private. Then the came for Kristin with a second i, and there was nobody left to speak for you.

At least not publically.
