Not to insert too much seriousness into the argument, but I think the issue, at the heart is that the thinkers and the thingers understand the meaning of the phrase differently. Even as a threat-- "think again, missy" versus "if you do that, I am going to hit you"

I just want to send my hatred to the evil person (it was amych, I am taking notes here people) who first brought up the Oxford comma, thus earworming me with that supremely twee Vampire Weekend song. AAAAARGH!

Kate, the house is lovely! I especially like the wood floors and the kitchen.

I've mentioned my Mormon friend who named her daughter Cayenne (pronounced Kay-Enn) because she saw the name on a map and thought it was pretty?

I can't do another Buffista grammar fight. My scars from the Gerund Wars still sting. (Granted, most of them are due to backchannel harassment by someone who is no longer a Buffista, but still.)

Trust my rage
Back channel harassment over gerunds? That's serious!
To me, it is clearly thing. I've never heard think until yesterday.
I need to get out of bed but don't want to. Sammy is still asleep next to me and he is the perfect size for cuddling.

Aw, Sammy.
Thanks for all the compliments on the house! Now we just have to, you know, actually buy it.
Also, I do not want to live in either Nashville or Indianapolis, but I am severely jealous of the price of Kate's house and of my sister's.
Everyone should move to Nashville! Although this house is definitely on the lower end of the market around here, especially for one in such good shape. East Nashville is still up-and-coming, which helps; this is a neighborhood that (as far as we can tell) is pretty close to the tipping point, but not *quite* there yet.

Man, one all day training session and no internet at home and you get so far behind:

Apparently the NZ eventing team got arrested for drinking in a non-drinking area.

I missed the link to the Kate house! But YAY! So happy for you.
I wondered how over 100 posts could have happened in Natter overnight. I should have known.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
