Oh, I meant to tell everyone, come visit Madison. Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are here filming Public Enemy. Well, filming in Columbus for the next couple of days. Then somewhere else and then in Baraboo. So, I'm sure if we stake out the Hilton, we can find their rooms.
Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
When Massachusetts split dialing codes the most recent time, you had to start dialing the area code, but not the 1. So now I do get a little confused sometimes.
MD has this too - area code for regional calls, 1+area for long-distance. But IIRC, if you do dial 1+area for regional calls, nothing bad happens. Your call will still go through just fine.
Baraboo! Circus Museum! Crane Foundation! Boo Zoo! I wanna go!
This drives me nuts, though, because between that and cell phones, I'm so accustomed to dialing area codes that every time I have to dial someone from work who's also in 312, I have to hang up and start over w/o the area code.
Took me a while to readjust in California.
I had canned chicken noodle soup to which I added chicken and stir-fry veggies. Also hot cocoa to which I added a dark chocolate candy bar and vanilla.
No tots here.
mmm that hot cocoa sounds scrumptious
hivemind: "It was placed under the counter to prevent its being stolen"
or "it's being stolen"
or should I rephrase that entirely?
I would simplify to "was placed under the counter to prevent theft."
that works. thanks
But I believe it would be "its," like "He was placed under the counter to prevent his being stolen."
That's what I was wondering: does it own being stolen or is being stolen something it is. It's clear when you swap "he" for "it" that it's the former.
edit: but the note now says it was placed under the counter to prevent theft.
