  • Do nothing / don’t show any romantic interest.

    Get to know her better as a friend. If she becomes interested or is interested in anything more, believe me you will know.

    Seriously, just forget about any romantic possibility. If she is interested then she will make it happen… otherwise you will just ruin your son’s friendship for no reason.

    Because your example sentence uses the word ‘went’ rather than ‘was’, you need a comma because those are two separate I dependent clauses.

    You and Dave were together and then Dave leaves you and goes driving by himself… me and Dave, then Dave went.

    If you used ‘was’ then those would not be independent clauses and therefore a comma would not be used. It was me and Dave and Dave was driving.

    Edit: also, why the downvote, we are having a conversation here ??

    I don’t believe that’s accurate.

    There are only two things in the list, pig & whistle.

    They want more space between pig and &.

    They also want more space between & and whistle.

    If we were listing three areas where they want additional space we would need at least one comma, and I would argue for the Oxford comma as well, however we are only listing two areas where we want more space and so no comma is needed.

    Sure it’s nearly unreadable, but I think the punctuation is correct.



  • Because if we were all somewhere else, you would be asking the same question about that place.

    “This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, ‘This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!’ This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”







  • If you are in pain now, you will love it when they are finished with the root canal. I have had six of them over the years, and every time I went from feeling absolutely horrible to 100% in the 1 hour it took them to do the operation.

    The only thing that is not comfortable are the initial numbing shots.

    Make sure they get you good and numb. If you have any doubt as to whether you need another shot, just get another shot.

    After 3 or 4 or 5 shots of numbing agent, you won’t feel a thing.

    Once the numbing wears off you will feel totally fine.

    It’s really not that bad, much better than living with tooth pain.

    Also, ask for a big gloop of topical anesthetic where they are planning to do the injections, it helps a little bit.

    Lastly, ask for 10 milligrams of diazepam if you have someone to drive you. A little benzo to take the edge off goes a super long way and dentists have no problem prescribing it. Have the dentist prescribe it and take it 1 hour before the appointment. I am 200lbs and 10mg does the trick.





  • Walz did a great job, I am super happy.

    I like how Walz chose not to dig into Vance too much, but instead he focused on a return to some sort of a normal functioning government.

    Even some republicans are tired of the war between the left and right, and some of those who publicly identify as trump supporters may secretly vote for Harris simply because they do not want to continue to be at odds with their left wing family members.

    Some republicans might recall a time when they were the patriotic ones, loving their football, their police, and their country. Now the party of trump is being told that football is woke, that the police are weak, and that the country is a shithole.

    I think some of them miss what the Republican party used to be.

    Even if it is just 5 percent of trump voters, Walz did a great job sending the message that it’s time we come together as a country and start making progress where it can be made, rather than feeding into the identity politics game of mud slinging.

    Vance and his ilk wear their atrocious views on their sleeves, we don’t need to waste any time pointing out how terrible they are, we need to instead focus entirely on what we can accomplish together.

    Everyone who is eligible needs to vote this time around, let’s all do our part to make it a landslide.
