Yeah, well, you think it's been boring around here?
Wellllllll, I will show you boring.......
I have a really sore throat. I feel like my throat is going to come out through my ears. I have a temperature. I do not have time for this. It has been going on for a few days even. And now it is Sunday. And now I think I am going to have to go find a Doc-in-a-Box. The Doc-in-a-Box will give me antibiotics. I get all weirded up about taking antibiotics. I rarely take them. I gotta be really hurting before I take antibiotics. It is a beautiful day and I am a whiny butt with a sore throat. And did I tell you that I have a temperature? And did I tell you how much I hate to take antibiotics? But I think I am going to have to. And did I tell you about my sore throat and how bad it hurts? Or is it badly???
And also, when Judy said that thing about the link having a video about a new punctuation mark, I tried to see the video, too. And I could not get it to play. And now there is a punctuation mark out there that I have never heard of. And I cannot play the video. And I am devastated. And, yeah, I know that I bastardize the heck out of punctuation marks, but I know I am doing it and I do not care. And I also write in sentence fragments. And I like doing that. Yes. I do.
And also, I know Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir is an English major. He is always trying to fake us out about that. But he has to be an English major. Did you see him use the word 'juxtaposition' a few posts back? Didya? Didya? Huh? And he started this whole thing about modifiers. And I don't think it is a problem with a misplaced modifier anyway. I think it's an awkward sentence structure that just needs a little clarification and a better word choice than 'associated.' - -
(And now for a shameless confession. I, Boomer B. Boomer, read the POA newsletter online sometimes. I don't know what happened to their forum, but the newsletter is still there I think. And I will continue to read it. Yes! I will! I know nothing is perfect. I like a little balance in my information. I think balance is a good thing. I am a Libra. Yes. I am. We like balance. I always buy chairs in pairs.)
Soooo, how's that for boring.....
Boomer -- face down in the stream of consciousness again...and did I tell you that I have a sore throat and a fever? Yes. I do.
