I am no good at diagraming sentences, but I'd love to learn how to do it correctly.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

I couldn't diagram a sentence to save my life.
Also, what everyone else said about title insurance. Supposed to cover crazy shit like that. Also, how the eff does someone refinance a mortgage on a house they don't own?? I thought the whole point of industry reform and bailouts and shit was to stop nonsense like that!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It just didn't make sense until I was learning another language. Other languages are more consistent, so it made more sense. After that I understood what they had been talking about with the diagramming.

I don't think I got sentence diagramming until about 9th grade. I was just glad to finally know what the heck the diagram that Laura Ingalls did for her teaching credential test was all about.

Yeah, the 90s have finally hit NC. A bit later than expected, actually. Nothing to do but crank up the AC, set taste buds to "margarita," and ride it out. Or move. 29 years in and I still haven't ruled out moving.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
smonster, that kind of sounds like a story that was on This American Life in the last year or so. Bananas.
I have never diagrammed a sentence.
And it's supposed to be 95 here today.

Okay, still need to go pack. I hate moving.
