  1. Thank you, Miss Vanessa, for that article. Fascinating! This especially "The opinion in the case said that 43 of the 50 U.S. states had mandated the use of a serial comma ..." REALLY?! Well, this grammar heathen still doesn't really see the need, most of the time, for an Oxford comma; but this case you reference was surely made very confusing by its lack :nod

  2. A labor law case was won on the absence of one.     Tell us more!

    You all are standing in the lieberry shouting "Give me my Oxford comma and get offa my lawn!!!!"   :lol Although I am actually pretty much against the Oxford comma :ph34r

    So the spoon on a broomstick situation gets the meat across the gap and into Loid’s gigantic mouth but I guess the attachment of stick and spoon is unstable.      They use very long tongs at The Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, MN, where I used to volunteer. And only staff use them; TWS is never open to visitors.

    There is NO discussion to be had about the Oxford Comma. NONE.      Um ... does this mean you are a strong supporter of the Oxford comma, Miss Patsy (or Miss. Patsy)? Oh, dear, whatever are you going to wear for your reunion? This is what I wore to my 50th last year: this top  https://www.shopwayre.com/collections/all/products/limited-edition-shift-and-snap-tank?variant=40488748777531    and these pants  https://www.shopwayre.com/collections/all/products/cruiser-pant?variant=40465078714427   in that nice rust color

  3. Grammar is ever evolving, and I clearly need to move on to more modern usage, but it seems so unnecessary!     It IS unnecessary! There are already rules and there is no need to change them. They work JUST FINE :bugeye

    Everyone who speaks the English language needs to read (and follow) "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss. That is all. Although I'm willing to have an open-minded debate about the Oxford comma.

  4. Mam, that gives me a rash just thinking about it. Did it enhance the storyline in any way at all?      I had this book on my "To Read" list butt just took it off. Nope, nope, nope (or nope nope nope). This new trend toward eliminating punctuation, ESPECIALLY quotes marks around dialogue, NEVER enhances the storyline. It just irritates the h3ll out of me :angryfire

    Auntie Anne and Miss Lucy were ready to Save the Day     :yay

    Dr Steve caught Covid on our trip back from Many Sodas. There was 1 First Class upgrade for the 2 of us so I said he could have it. And of course, the first class peeps got served LUNCH, which meant taking his mask off, which I bet he simply left off; and now he's coughing like CRAZY! It's still out there, people!

    Oh for the lubs off all that is holey.  Lacifur just raced into BossLady's office with a beeg mouthfool of clumped dirt and grass and proceeded to jump all over the couch and furniture with blobs of muddy dirt flying ebberware!     :lol:lol:lol

    Oh, Miss Halise :lol

    Miss Ivy, Momma's Gramma used to call those Big Brown Trucks doods the "Ups Man." Not YU PEE EES, but Ups.     Well, when we moved to South Carolina and I saw "Chick-Fil-A" restaurants, I thought they were pronounced Chick Fill Ah :rolleyes:

  8. It was her favorite Crayon color, Midnight Blue!     Oh, I love that color! It was in competition with Lemon Yellow and Spring Green for my favorite color! My own bike (an E-bike so I can actually pedal it out of our hilly neighborhood) is a Blackberry-coloured Aventon, perfect for all the blackberries that grow here

  9. The purkle bike is parked in my little garage.  I oiled the chains and have yet to decide on her name.   Any suggestions?      Well, if your bike was a BOY bike, I'd suggest Harold, as in "Harold and the Purple Crayon" - butt maybe she could be "Wisteria"?

    Who else was wondering if Robin was gonna fetch Sammy on her horse?   I was, I was!

The poor girl is not used to mixin wiff the unwashed masses anymore and she was shocked and disgusted.      It is shocking, isn't it? My sister works part-time at the local library, and oh the things she sees :yikes :eek :bugeye
