Nope nope nope.
t edit My understanding is that it's a back-formation that gets used so often that it's in common use. But I still don't think it's any more correct than "conversate."
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

mac would like some people to play minecraft with. any b.orger kids play still? and then I guess if there is a specific server address they use.
We host a server, msbelle. And my kids play on some kid-safe public servers, too. I'll email you the details.

CJ plays, msbelle. He doesn't normally play multi-player though. He said some of the multi-player servers aren't well moderated. How old is he again?

I have sorted out which servers my kids can play on. Sometimes they play on friend's private servers and sometimes on public. The kids prefer well moderated servers.
They also like to Skype when they play, too, to talk to each other through the game.

So with Teppy on this one.
The problem with changing time zones is then I'm not hungry for dinner at a reasonable hour. I really want some damn vegetables, but its after 9pm, and I'm not actually hungry yet, so all the restaurants I'll be closed by the time I am (and I'd be staying awake too late for how early I have to get up!)

I find "conversating" oddly charming. Perhaps because I don't hear it very often.

I remember in Alive they ate livers because they were nutritious. Maybe easier to chew too.
Just steer clear of the livers of carnivores. I believe some polar bears got their revenge on a party of arctic explorers that way.
By the way, have I mentioned lately how large a part of my diet meat makes up?

I find "conversating" oddly charming.
My current language pet peeve: what's the deal with "reach[ed] out to"? When did "contact" fall out of favor and get replaced by this feel-good bullshit phrase? (As in "We reached out to the manager of the grocery store to find out when Chunky soup would be back on the shelves." Really? "Reached out to"??? You're not trying to establish detente, here.)
