At this point in time, spelling or poor use of apostrophes is not grounds for saying " no thanks" . you all know I can't spell ( Thank you , Firefox!) and my typing is pretty poor as well. If I post, or send an email without rereading there is only a 50/50 chance that it makes sense. And I know I have a brain in my head. I started to read almost instantly - I skipped the concept of phonics and went to reading whole sentences right away. Plus my writing/typing has never been fast enough for my thoughts, so I skip words. Oddly, my mom's emails look a lot like mine. Anyway, I can write well, but it takes a lot of concentration and work. So it doesn't happen very often.

and as for liking something that is not ....umm... good. I think there have to be one or two places where you look at your spouse and go WTF? DH does that when he sees me reading romance novels - and I do it every time he gets that look of glee when he talks about some political rant that agrees with him 100%. ( Rants about politics without a hint of solution - do nothing for me)

and in other stuff - Susan sounds like you boss will be good - she is trying to come up with solutions in your convoluted work place.

and hope Dad is home safe and sound soon, Steph.

My sister is in the Navy. - She had been gone for awhile - got home - and the phone rang. She ran across the kitchen - and found that the refrigerator had defrosted while she was gone. She flew across the kitchen and hit her face on the frige and knocked her self out ( briefly). The next day, not one person, including her boss asked her about her batter and bruised face. It is amazing what people can ignore.

I hope I would have asked if I could do anything to help.

I got a tacklehug! whee!

I'm not only incapable of spelling number with the pound symbol, I can't spell okay with only two letters.

Oh, Toddson, got the book. Looks awesome! Haven't started yet.

{{Teppy}} That just plain sucks. And, heart~ma to your Dad.

Today was a bad day. I gave 5 detentions and 2 referrals to the dean. I don't know what the deal was but my kids just sucked today. By last period, I had a kid complain that he was bored and I just looked at him and said, "Well, that's just too bad, isn't it?" Not a shining moment, but I suppose it could have been worse. Keep in mind, he was bored while I was reading a short (like 3 page) story out loud to them. And, he was not in school all last week.

Fay, I really rather fancy you. A lot.

...God, what does it say about me that apostrophe abuse might be a dealbreaker? thinks...Probably that it's too long since I got laid.

Tho, if bad grammar and spelling keeps ya from hooking up, it might explain my long drought.

Susan, sounds like it went well. Yay. There was more, alas, had to steal time to read while at work. OK, off to drive home.

Fay, I really rather fancy you. A lot.

And in the words of Albert Schweitzer.... I fancy you.

I watched the Robot Chicken Star Wars Special the other day, which was hilarious and much funnier than the Family Guy one.

The best part was Chris calling them out about it on the Family Guy ep.

Everybody fancies Fay. It's been a rule since forever.

Grammar and spelling are total dealbreakers for me. Which is why I try to meet people in person. Too few of them meet my criteria on something like Craigslist. :)

In a bizarre coincidence, #5 has the same birthday.

P-C, watch out--I've dated three girls with the same birthday. And one a few days off that. It could be a sign!

It could be a sign!

My husband has the same birthday as the guy I seriously dated in college--and as my middle sister.
