But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Rust Mustang Palin!

Bwah. All of these are funny.

In work news, dude, I totally found the $3131 error I was searching for, for like, hours. And it wasn't an error. It was just a category shift. So! Relieved!

Now I have to decide if I want to correct it the hard & correct way or the easy & wrong way. I'm leaning toward hard & correct, because I don't want it crop up again in six months when I've forgotten what the solution was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Grammar question that I'm kind of ashamed to ask, but I'm tired: "I'm x-ing, aren't I?" or "I'm x-ing, don't I?", or something else I didn't think about?

Aren't I. If you mean, like, "I'm walking, aren't I?" It would be, "I walk, don't I?" not that you would say it with that verb, but do you see what I'm saying?

Yes, thank you! Now I understand why I couldn't see it - I couldn't figure out if I want to write x-ing or just x (the verb).

"I'm x-ing, aren't I?" or "I'm x-ing, don't I?"

The first. "I am x-ing, aren't I?" Both "am" and "are" are forms of "to be".

The second version would be "I do X, don't I?", where the first "do" is kind of redundant in English.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I can't believe I couldn't remember that rule. It's one of the basic things we learn here, in the second year of studying English in elementary schools (5th grade) - in Hebrew, there's only past, present and future. There's no progressive tense, or perfect tense or all of the "have had" things.
