The highlight of Saturday was buying a new Shark vacuum cleaner...and I think I'm a daring pioneer because the model is so new that there are no online reviews yet.



Tonight I may be a total daredevil and have a jalapeno with dinner.  :-[

You're living dangerously!

Now that you've taken the first step, you can go ahead and order a bass that hasn't been reviewed yet.

Easy with the jalapeno... and remember, don't trust farts, even Vintage ones... ;)

I shudder to admit it....I'm so old that I still insert two spaces after a period.   :P

I'm not supposed to use two spaces after a period?  When did this happen?

Of course, I've done that too.

Let's be kind to Patman.  He's not aware of how outdated we are.....

Two spaces after a period! Yes!  And the mighty serial comma, aka oxford comma!

What will they take away from us next?

I think it was Mark Twain who said he wanted to be in Cincinnati for the end of the world...because it is always ten years behind the times.  Guess he was right.

I generally use the Oxford comma, as I believe it improves clarity of meaning. Damn. My arteries must be calcifying as I write this.....

I use the Oxford comma but I never used two spaces after a period. Just one. Like here. I'm a civilized rebel.
