Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This speaker loves her marketing job more than I love chocolate.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My boss has untreated ADD, does not listen well, and both consciously and unconsciously fights against any new processes he does fully understand or feel comfortable with. He also has a bit of an inferiority complex wrt education and takes things very often as people trying to say he is stupid. He is, however, not an asshole, so it makes him better than my last two bosses.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, Burrell, that sounds amazing! I hope Isaac enjoys it more than he is frustratde (for both of their sakes).

Oy, msbelle.

That is hard to imagine, Zen. Although I technically work in marketing, it is so not my favorite.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow msbelle, you just described my brother almost to a tee. Although in his case, add untreated depression to the list as well.

Not an asshole is good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, there's a difference between being able to read music in the middle of a chorus with accompaniment and being able to sight-sing cold. Our reauditions now include an a capella sight-reading section, and it's not fun.

Yeah, yikes. I don't feel like I can Read Music, but I can certainly follow along pretty well. Definitely on the second pass.

I hope so too, -t! Frances loved it, so I think he will have fun too.

So, someone I know just posted on Facebook that her (Long-Island-raised) son got dinged on a school assignment (in Arkansas) for saying "meant" and "mint" are not homophones. Regional accents strike again!
