ltc slept until after 9! It looks like our Farmer's Market is opening the first week of June, which is late for us, but I guess they had to put some social distancing measures in place.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I work with an Aaron and and Erin, and people pronounce them the same. I am always asking do you mean A A RON? Or Erin?
I want to garden/dig in the ground, but not having a car is blocking me. Do I take the bus? Do I get an Uber? Do I walk with my cat stroller?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My vote would be walk there/Uber or bus home.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
In the interests of deliberately starting a regional accent war...
Aaron and Erin should be pronounced differently.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Aaron and Erin should be pronounced differently.
I can't do it. Or, when I try, the only way I can make them sound different is to really over-exaggerate the vowel sounds, and nobody wants to be called "Ehhhhhhh-rin."
I also can't pronounce Mary, marry, and merry differently (unless, again, I over-exaggerate the vowels). And I super-duper can't pronounce caught and cot differently.
I'm a linguistic mess, guys.

They sound different to my ears when I say them, but who knows what someone listening to me would hear?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Same, Tep. Or maybe more so. I don't know what different would even sound like.
Did I mention our new VP of Sales in Serena Williams?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
regional accent
Try Irish: "Éireann"
Or from India: "Arun."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I also can't pronounce Mary, marry, and merry differently (unless, again, I over-exaggerate the vowels).
Regional accent, common in the South that my mom bequeathed to me.
Which is why I got so much shit at my Alma Mater for pronouncing it "Kinyon" half the time.
Also much mockery when I ask for a writing implement as I don't distinguish between "pen" and "pin."
