  1. Aww, I was hoping it was the royal family. You know, the Queen in sweats, lighting up a ciggie (as we know they all actually smoke, but try to hide it), as they play cards, pop a beer, etc. That would be surprising, Geico!
  2. Fine by me! Me, too! Umm, how do you feel about theoretical polygamy? And it's "for all intents and purposes", not "for all intensive purposes".
  3. I still and will pronounce it with the long i it is supposed to have, you heathen!
  4. Long I, as it was originally written long-lifed. The ambiguity came about when the spelling slid into -lived and people didn't know the origin of the expression. I added a link to my post discussing this.
  5. Unholy or unholey? I'm laughing at the thought of a distractingly satanic sweater.
  6. Will you marry me? Since it's hypothetical here, genders don't matter.
  7. And we're losing the fight on pronouncing short-lived and long-lived correctly, too. https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2014/09/lived.html
  8. Slight segue (that I see written segway - argh!), I hate when you sympathize with someone's tale of woe and say you're sorry, and they respond with "It isn't your fault." WTF? It has happened so often, I just respond, "Sympathy here, not guilt."
  9. Having your doctor ask, "Hey, can the residents feel your breast tumor?" (and there are 3 of them) will do that, too. But I know they have to learn by doing, so someone needs to let them feel what a tumor feels like. TMI:
  10. @SRTouch - The cat turned out to be a neutered male (the owner thought he was a girl and named him Nala). They weren't able to save the leg and amputated. They showed the discharge right after the surgery segment instead of at the end. He did fine.
  11. Aww, guys! Now I'm teary. But feeling better. Thanks.
  12. Hugs, AgentRXS. I've always thought I was ugly, even though I don't care what anyone else looks like. I just know I don't measure up. I've been in double digit clothes sizes since my age was in double digits. It just is what it is now.
  13. The only thing annoying me about this ad is that I now want chocolate.
  14. Hmm. To me, Dutch means we each pay for our own. I'd have held to that, especially since the date was going so crappily.
  15. Can you do that? Film someone for a focus group and then use it in a commercial without even telling them?
  16. According to TMZ, his Irritable Bowel Syndrome was wreaking havoc on his immune system this past year and he was being treated for intestinal issues when he died.
  17. Huh. If I had thought about it, I'd have thought it was to accommodate mourners walking behind.
  18. Just don't give them this: A kitten rescue group on YouTube is warning that it could be a choking hazard. Warning - the video does show 2 incidents; the kittens are fine, but it can be distressing to watch.
