Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
brenda, I'm sorry about Gracie. How lovely that she passed so peacefully.
After my boss retired, I applied for his job and in sounds like I may finally get to hear the outcome of the search process soon. It's been the weirdest process ever (Lee may be the only one who appreciates this, but my interview was 1 hour long.)
Also, a friend of the family is in her final illness in Flordia, so good thoughts for a peaceful passing would be much appreciated for my Auntie Del.
Good thoughts for Auntie Del and job~ma for Sparky!
Random question: Do you pronounce the 't' in 'often'?
I switch back and forth--neither sounds right to me.
Mostly no, but when aware of my surroundings with people who have better pronunciation than my Texas regular speech, yes.
see also almost all soft e pronunciations and my general accent.
I grew up saying it without the 't'. That seems wrong now but when I pronounce the 't' sounds like an affectation.
offen.
I usually say "off'n" due to my Southern accent, but I pronounce it distinctly when I'm self-conscious of the people I'm with.
I pronounce the "t," but fairly lightly.
oft'n here. I think.
Insomnia last night. Woke up with my alarm this morning and I'm already rubbing my eyes and yawning. Tea is broken. Plus, I think I pulled a muscle in my butt. Didn't even have karate yesterday...no clue what I did.
Somehow got a sore muscle in my shoulder by, apparently, vigorously sleeping. I may be more active asleep than I am awake.
