I am inordinately pleased that I freaked out one of my sections today. Who knew college students were so squeamish?
It was from an ita link, wasn't it?
This day needs to end. It started well enough, but new stuff just keeps piling up, that while neutral...is stuff!
Oh that's right! HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS ALLYSON! Good luck finding a non-leaky, non-ghetto apartment!
I would have argued for
Edwards'.
I understand the rule. I disagree with it.
Besides, it's really
his
choice, in the end.
I am no grammar expert, but Edwardses' looked perfectly right to me.
Huh. The suckiness of Chicago's L system has made the NYT: A Rail System (and Patience) Are Stretched Thin in Chicago
eta: OK, this is funny:
A 30-ish father is having something of a rough time corraling his 5-year-old daughter on the Red Line north during rush hour.
She won't sit where he tells her. She wants to stand on the seat. She wants to kneel on the seat. She wants to stand in the aisle.
Finally, getting exasperated, he threatens her with a timeout and lectures her: "Remember, safety first." She slams back into the seat and taunts him:
"No! Safety last!"

In searching for an article on my favourite twin story, I came across this which warmed the cockles of my heart.
Wow, that'll really put size in perspective. She looks amazing! Terribly jealous of her skin though.
I think a UK 10 is a US 8 -- in any case, I'd say she's only that size b/c of the boobs or height. I've been between 6 and 14 and that body fits into a 4-6 here.
When I used to watch the BBC WNTW, I think I figured out that you need to subtract 4, so a size 10 UK is closer to a 6 US.
We just introduced the kids to Peeps. DH said, "Lets keep feeding 'em to the kids and see what happens."
A world of no.
Brings to mind the episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Francis tries a Cool Hand Luke with Peeps.
