Ole earthmomma is back!

Watch that grammar! Watch that spelling! Don't let a homonym error through! And don't forget the semantics and syntax! A very personable and competent contact person at the TD named BRANDON did everything necessary to restore earthmomma and her Hall of Fame status to the Forums. It was not easy because of the email address situation. I bid a fond farewell to EarthmommaII and her brief reign. ( I was really never too fond of her!)

I am an essentially flawed individual who nevertheless does the right thing enough of the time.

Gus, knowing these things are representative of what a Good teacher of any grade should know and use. Unclegus does not have to be perfect in these things! Your profession is in the heating/cooling field. I cannot fix the air-conditioner! And you are pretty good at all of the above stuff too! It is just standard English! The bar on grammar, etc. should be raised for teachers! See my education posts in Politics! I was listing all those terms with tongue in cheek and pulling my own chain! (all at the same time? ) LOL!

For you, hailed and recognized grammar diva, earthmomma

On his 54th birthday, a man got a gift certificate from his wife for a visit to
a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumored to have a
wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.
After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the
medicine man and wondered what he was in for.
The old man slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to him, and with a
grip on his shoulder, warned, "This is powerful medicine and it must be
respected. You take only a teaspoonful and then say '1-2-3'. When you do that,
you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life and you can
perform as long as you want."
The man was encouraged. As he walks away, he turned and asked, "How do I stop
the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say '1-2-3-4,' he responded, "But
when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon."
He was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a
spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom.
When she came in, He took off his clothes and said, "1-2-3!" Immediately, he
was the manliest of men.
His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes. And then she asked,
"What was the 1-2-3 for?"
And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a
preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.

You are absolutely correct about air conditioner. I edit each post I write and sometimes my 70 year old eyes miss something. I could claim "Good" as a typo, but I won't. I capitalized "Good" to emphasize that "Good" teachers with college degrees should have a basic knowledge of English grammar and style. This particularly applies to third grade level skills.

I love that movie. I just cried and cried when Miss Julia Robert's character passed away. Only other time I was that sad was when the rope broke at a crucial point in the middle of a sex act.
Do not go to Walmart and buy that cheap rope made in China anymore! You need to get together with Dominatrix in Miscellaneous!
