Amy, lots of water. Even after the fact!
I think in my case it's also excessive smoking while drinking. I swear if I quit smoking, I won't be drinking anymore either.
I think my favorite is a wedding invitation from 1898.
So cool!
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

We watched a cricket match in a pub in Ireland. . Which made DH read two books on how it is played and asked a bunch of people around here ( English , Indian , Pakistani) .Not sure he understands it . My friend C ( English ) says it is a lovely place to read a book.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I get annoyed by "reign in" when it should be "rein in."
Also, I am a horrible snob about "alright." HATE.

Yeah, I still feel pretty weird about my real person information being out there, as evidenced by my fb last name, although that's more to avoid bots than people. So I would probably leave off the names. But that's me, and I am more paranoid than your average bear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've encountered my fair share of "taunt stomachs", for which there is no excuse at all.

All of those things make me twitch. I'm very twitchy.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I tend to typo some things I know (there, they're and their), but I actually have a lot of trouble with its and it's because I just remember that there is something wrong with them. And picturing The Alot has helped me with that one.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I'm twitching right now.
So, man, today. I have a metric tonne of stuff to do, but even with the short list of errands the SO & I left the house to accomplish, all we actually did was go eat breakfast out, wander the garden center, then come home and shoot. Now I'm making improv stew (venison, chickpeas, chile peppers, corn, with cumin, oregano, sea salt, garlic & onions) and the SO is watching Northern Exposure.
I guess it's ok. It's our first official day of summer. I guess tomorrow I can start back with the work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, I just posted my kindergarden report cards, so my last name is out there.
Thomas is quite an unusual little student. He does a great deal of thinking and seems to be concerned about things way beyond the scope of a five year old. He is a very intelligent little boy & does very good work.
And a different card:
Thomas is quite a remarkable little student. He doesn't make a "big noise" but we all know he is here. He is most self sufficient and able to solve his ??? problems. Thomas ??? in the 99th percentile of his class on his Readiness test.
Scary how well those evaluations describe me.
If anyone could help me read the words I can't figure out, that would be great.
