Buffy ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
100 in DC. Was 102 a while ago.
Thanks to all for the wishes for Max. Still waiting on the detailed report. (Which is actually coming from Colorado, not the West Coast. But time zones still an issue. Also that the vet treating Max is taking an extra-long weekend.)
Ha ha ha! The Globe has a stupid "it's so hot..." blog post, and someone replied "Get over it...it's 119 in Baghdad." [link] People are awesome.
J.P. Licks is changing its name to J.P. Puddle.
Hee.
74 degrees here. I'll take it.
I am amused that after all the dire warnings about how we would shrivel up in the heat (and make no mistake, it's been hot since we moved down, one of the hottest Junes on record) but since it's been Heat Wave Central up north it's been (relatively- 80s) cool and rainy down here.
Rewatching The Wedding Job which I do believe is my favorite Leverage episode.
grammar question:
...., the rising cost of healthcare and healthcare spending has been on the forefront of political and economic agendas...
That should "have" not "has" right? This is my boss's dissertation proposal, and her advisors have read it, so I am questioning myself.
I think has is right -- the rising cost has been on the forefront.
Sophia, yes, because you have two subjects there -- cost of healthcare and healthcare spending.
Fight! Fight!
I dunno. But since 'cost' is singular it seems to me 'has' is correct.
Oh, I was reading it the way Jesse was: the rising cost of [healthcare and healthcare spending]. But I guess that doesn't make sense.
