dragons in the flower bed Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Wow, that's really, really there. I think either the list or the graphic has to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well, I like the graphic, but I dislike signatures that are bigger than post content. Maybe if I vow to be perpetually long-winded, it will look better. The problem with talking on and on about whatever occurs to me in a Dostyevsky-esque (is that how you would form that word, or should it be "word"?) style is that I will lose readers. I will even lose myself on those occasions when my point is misinterpreted by a reader and dissected line by line, causing me to have to go back and reread my post to figure out what I actually meant, but since I can't go ten seconds without, "Mama, open these for me, please?" I will get distracted and discombobulated and not be able to figure out what I meant, which is probably what happened to the reader who misinterpreted my meaning, too. Ooh, there's my epiphany for the day. See? Run on sentences have a spiritual result. They're not always bad. Epiphanies like that are a spiritual experience. Now I have a religious exemption to proper grammar. My state law specifically exempts homeschoolers from any teaching requirement that is in conflict with their religious values. I value epiphany. Our laws don't require grammar instruction, however. They require that we teach reading, writing, spelling, and the English language. As I have proved by my many flubbed-up posts on this board, no knowledge of grammar is necessary to write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I really don't like the long list of products, either. If I'm going to advertise for vendors, they should pay me. :::sigh::: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Big obnoxious graphic is now gone. I will have to think on this some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanestMomInMidwest Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You get a prize for using my all-time favorite word: discombobulated :D Love the meaning, love the way it sounds rolling off my lips, love to see it in print. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
