Verbs are the most different from what you'd expect, and they're different from what any spoken English language learner I've known comes up with as well.

I'm going to second this. We have an ASL teacher who is deaf as is his entire family (wife and kids at least). As an English Language Learner, his writing does have odd verbs, but generally gets the prepositions right where a hearing a person from a spanish speaking home can often get the verb itself right, though conjugation and use of first person pronouns is wacky and prepositions are almost entire wrong.

Best thoughts to you and TNG, Consuela.

Thanks, folks. I could get a few more years, I suppose, except I don't know what's going on with her hindquarters.

And flea, I saw Nutty's post on LJ yesterday. Pets should not get old, damn it.

That's the third cat of friends who have died this week. Sheesh, I begin to think I've cursed them or something.

Woke up to a lovely smell this morning -- there was a chemical spill in a nearby town. The chemical that spilled? the one they put in natural gas to give it its smell.

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Consuela.

Meanwhile, the pilot light on our water heater has gone out, and won't relight. Now waiting for the repair guy.

I'm looking forward to Agent Carter and all, but I could do without hearing the tagline "sometimes the best man for a job is a woman" ever again.

Ew. Concur.

Chicken stock simmering on the stove. Smells so good.

It's the holiday season. I deserve to order yummy fudge with sugar instead of the responsible sugar-free stuff, right? Or, because it's the holidays, I could order both? That should certainly cover the fudge cravings.

I think you get to order any kind of fudge you want, Connie.
