texasmama Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) I totally get it. Streams of consciousness is a thing. Plus some cool TV, movie, and song references thrown in. Edited May 19, 2016 by texasmama 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 If you take a bit less than the recommended amount, you might be able to bypass weird dreams. I've been giving Nan 10 mg, and it works like a charm. Sadly, she is not able to speak of her dreams or if she has any. Maybe it's the best experience of her whole life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Life is full of unanswered questions. Like, " How is it possible that a freaking paid editor does not know to put a comma before a conjunction joining two independent clauses?" This is my monthly exercise is in bleeding eyes. And frustration. But it results in the monthly deposit of an amount roughly equal to our monthly health insurance premium.

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I will save you! <puts on cape and dashes off to save Jojosmom> Is your child named Jojo, making you Jojo's mom?

texasmama Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I was reading a Facebook thread, and this lady was saying something in a reply. I will never know what it is, though, because of the lack of commas. She said, "Amy when I wanted to marry Paul the priest at the catholic church would not marry us because they did not agree with divorce and I had been divorced. " That was copied and pasted from the comment so it is exactly as written. Her dh is not named Paul. Commas save marriages because people should not try to marry priests or people who are not their husbands. I am forever in the dark because I cannot ask if she was trying to marry Paul and gave up or if Paul was the priest. Commas save lives because I might kill myself if I cannot understand the above quoted sentence. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz I need another thing to do. :leaving: I am a contract writer-theoretically, I write content. The company has full-time paid editors (with benefits!) Because of the quality of the full-time paid editors (with benefits!), I now post-editor edit ALL of the content that goes out from our little corner of the universe (because my boss asked me to and he's really nice and I couldn't stand to see the mess they made of my work.)

texasmama Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I don't believe that people actually make their own salsa unless they share the recipe. Canned tomatoes, fresh jalapenos, fresh raw garlic, cilantro, fresh onion, chipotle peppers (from a can). Blend it all in a food processor and refrigerate. If you like it hot, put more jalapenos and onion. Boom! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Important information alert. My inside kitty loves canned green beans. (And, yes, that also means that I am feeding my family canned green beans tonight. It's somewhat vegetal. Sort of. [DD considers S&W green beans to be a "treat." Seriously.] After an entire day of editing, I poured myself a glass of wine. Do y'all think that's sufficient for dinner?
