"...you can't discern whom is a moderator..."

But who's on first?

Ballard's clearance/outlet store

I always find furniture pieces that are damaged at 60-70% off; repair, refinish, and sell for a tighty sum.
How tight?

No, it doesn't say out of the three 4th grade students..... it clearly says TEACHERS! Yes, that's what it says.
I have a young friend who teaches honors English at the high school level. Yet, she consistently uses improper grammar when she talks about herself and her husband. For example, she will say, "Attending the concert was a real thrill for Kenny and I." It's all I can do to refrain from saying, "Kenny and ME!"

Another friend who is a teacher uses poor grammar as well. How the heck are children supposed to learn proper use of English if their teachers don't know it well? It's sad.

She probably thinks that you want her husband.

Sounds like a good term for them. If you are in the lower bed, you can easily bump your head on the upper one!

So true. I've done that in my youth.

An acquaintance of mine has alerted everyone to the fact that she has a, "Mindgraine head ace." Now, granted, she might have misspelled those words due to the migraine headache. However, it's not the first time I've seen her write these words.

I have a relative who asks, "DonnyMoes or Little Seizures" when it's time for pizza, too. That cracks me up! I'll have the Little Seizures, please. I could use some shaking up.
