Looks great bonny. My only other comment is that you use a serial comma in the second bullet but not the first.

brenda, good catch!

I am totally unclear about serial comma etiquette. Which is better?

adults and couples to develop great communication skills, healthy relationships, and a satisfying worklife.

kids (7 & up) to develop people skills and build character, to learn successful habits, and to be comfortable in the world.

or this

Once this is resolved, it's DONE!

Thanks to everyone who commented. I'm actually satisfied and fairly confident about the finished product. THAT is a source of celebration around these parts.

So, cheers!

You're welcome, bonny! I'm going to let someone else do the serial comment bit. Not my strength.

I need to get motivated. Today is supposed to be a big Discardia day, and I'm still in my pjs on the couch, watching Castle. I've already missed the HHW dropoff window.

I say leave the commas in. But either is technically correct, as long as they're either both there or both not there. I think it reads more clearly with the commas.

bonny, I like it except I'm not a big fan of serial ellipses in this context. I'd rather see a bullet or dash.

Shoe post!

Looking for a black wedge shoe and I think I'm down to two possibilities:

• Shoe >[link]
• Sandal >[link]

Along the way, I found other WANTS!:

• Ankle boots >[link]
• OMGLOVE >[link]
• Black flat with studs (these have my name written all over them) >[link]

I vote for the shoe.

People not sucking: Gay Marine's Husband Surprised at Respect Shown by Naval Academy

I especially loved this bit

Ketterson sent a copy of the marriage license. That changed everything.

“I was respected,” he said. “From that moment on, I was next of kin. They were amazing.”

The USNA alumni association sent Ketterson a letter expressing condolence for the loss of his husband.

“His next of kin was treated with the same dignity and respect afforded to the next of kin of all USNA grads who desire interment at the Columbarium,” said Jennifer Erickson, a spokesperson for the academy. “We didn’t do anything differently.”

Rockstars, you all are rockstars.

There, I said it.

I said it because it is true.

I adjusted the commas and added a green bullet to replace the ellipses. You were totally right, quester. Now it looks much more professional. Funny how a detail like that can effect a piece.

Thank you all some much for indulging my need. And if you are interested in the final product, you can see it here.

I vote for the shoe.
