'Selfless'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
"Respectfully, these changes are neither extensive nor surprising for our journal's high standards, and I do not believe they will be damaging to the DoD. Your commentary is already overdue, so please answer the editor's queries and return it today so that it will not be pulled from publication."
Seriously needs to be done in needlepoint.
I was actually hoping it would get pulled, so I could do the Nelson Muntz "HA ha!" at the author.
Release the semi colons! Take that, White House! Tremble before our collective literary abilities!
That's just the best story. Respect the editors!
My best grammatical band name is "Stance Verbs and The Passive," which is an actual section heading from an MA thesis I found dealing with the northern England formation "he was stood" where standard English would have written "he was standing" or "he stood."
That is excellent.
Getting out of bed and going to work after a long weekend is not excellent at all.
I'm here. I've done some actual work. Do I want a cup of coffee? Hm
I was a little behind on Natter due to an epically shitty day yesterday and came in to that weaponization of grammar exchange. Good Lord, I love you people (you peeps!)

Steph, I swear to you, this retroactively made MY yesterday better.
In not unrelated news, yesterday I dropped in on the new Med Men that just opened up down the street from work. And spent a not inconsiderable amount of money on a CBD "Calm" vape.

Mac is 18.
His phone has been transferred to him with 1 month prepaid. I had coffee ready for him this morning, a package of mini cupcakes, a package of cookies, and a gift card. Nothing said to me.
BUT he did text his grandmother and is going out with her for ice cream. She is thrilled. And he did respond to his uncle's Happy Birthday text. So maybe he can start communicating with them.
That's....something, msbelle. Good luck.
My parents are supposedly moving out of their house today. After 35 years. The moving truck was scheduled today. My sister was over there on the weekend and was like "what magic fairies do they think are going to pack up their shit???" So I owe her big for dealing with them.
