It's a tradition. Houston rodeo starts and we get a cold front. My first work shift is tomorrow and the high is in the 40s. I know it isn't as bad as what many of you have been dealing with but it is March in Texas. The bluebonnets should be out. We should be in the 70s dang it!
I must be wishing on someone else's star....

Good morning.

I'm kind of glad I didn't win. The timing was bad for me, I wouldn't have been able to go so I would have wound up giving the tickets back anyway.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

Same here, I honestly dreaded getting that email. I would have figured something out for the grand prize, but if I just won two tickets, I couldn't go

I didn't even enter because I was sure, even if by some remote stroke of luck I actually won, I would be diagnosed with Dengue Fever a few days before the concert.

Good morning, boys and girls. I'm exhausted --- today may be devoted to intense napping. :-?

I would of liked to get the email , just with the thought that I won. I really didn't expect to win , the odds were so high.

Happy National Grammar Day everyone!

In celebration of the day, I offer the following rules...
1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
5. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat)
6. Also, always avoid annoying alliteration.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
9. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
10. No sentence fragments.
11. Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used.
12. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. One should NEVER generalize.
15. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
16. Don't use no double negatives.
17. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be ignored.
21. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas.
22. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.
23. Kill all exclamation points!!!
24. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.
25. Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earth shaking ideas.
26. Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed.
27. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
28. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times: Resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly.
29. Puns are for children, not groan readers.
30. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
31. Even IF a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
32. Who needs rhetorical questions?
33. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
And finally...
34. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

You know that little voice in your head that keeps you from saying things you shouldn't?
I should probably get one of those....
