"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Oh, I meant to say- Mom and I went out to dinner while I was back home for Mimi's funeral. I was telling her about the people who expected me to fix our database. The one that is on a website. A website run by another organization. Anyway, one of mom's coworkers decided to make their interface "prettier" so she changed the color of the font. Each character a different color. Like a spectrum.
I told her it would make some people here shudder.

My doctor is in a teaching practice too, and I've learned the hard way not to accept appointments for resident doctors if a pelvic exam is involved.

Yay, mac!! Now he can get a savings account. Just make sure he doesn't start getting credit card offers.
Speaking of bills and savings, I'm thinking about stopping by Borders this week to see if they're hiring. Money's in short supply right now because of the cost of the diet and the fact that I'm going to have to start buying clothes pretty damn soon because all of mine are getting too big for me!! Also, I'll need cash for school and my sister's wedding. I was thinking about waiting until next year because of school and the wedding, but I need the money now and have time between now and Labor Day to rack up some hours and earn some money.

Those bastards at the Ben and Jerry store just sent us coupons.

See if they have any of Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream, Dana! I've been checking out the supply at the corner store (because that's the one thing I'll break my diet for), but nada so far.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Whether you are for or against the serial comma, this is just crazy talk:
One use of a comma is as a replacement for "and" or "or," so to use a comma before the last word in a series is to say, for example, "the flag is red and white and and blue."
When explaining usage rules, logic is not your friend.
I have written under the dictates of the AP Stylebook for about 30 years, which means I have used very few serial commas.
