It makes me sad when the comma oversteps its bounds, however I think there's not much that can be done for it.

One stuck in right there after bounds. Those commas are sneaky creatures.

Diets shouldn't count on one's own birthday unless you're a diabetic and the cake & ice cream could prove harmful in an acute manner.

ION, what's the last thing that made you smile?

Teppy's peptalk! It also made me cry (seriously--I'm leaking tears here!). I love you all so much; you (and my family, too!) have really kept me on this path of better living through eating right and exercising. I don't think I could have gotten this far without your help and all your advice, which I am going to follow!

I've mentioned this before, but the farm's been in the family for three generations... I'll be sad when it's sold....

Tommyrot, I can completely sympathize. Last fall, my uncle and aunt took my mom and I on a drive to the family farm that another uncle sold to developers a few years ago. They had finally gotten all the permits, etc., to begin on the new subdivision, so they had torn down the house and outbuildings and apple trees that I spent my childhood climbing and already put up a few sample houses. Mom and her sister looked for a few minutes before they could even figure out where they house they had grown up in was located on the property--the only way they were able to locate it was by the one tree that was still standing.

That was the point.

Alas, misusing commas isn't as funny as I had thought.

Unfortunately, you can't use whips and chains.

I was trying to go along with the joke.

Having a bunch of working, professional actors say very very kind things about my own acting.

That's so sad - I can't imagine what that would be like.

I think about 1/3 or 1/2 of the land my parents have already sold is gonna stay farmland (probably for as long as the new owners keep it, but they're both old farmers, so...). Hopefully whoever buys the buildings will keep them up.

The house I grew up in, we tore down when I was in 9th grade and built a new house in its place. So I'm not quite as attached to that house as I could be.

I thought it was funny! But then I got distracted by how much I want to go home now, after more than one adrenaline crash today.

Watchin' the "Boundin'" short on YouTube.

Really? How do they translate "jackalope?"
