Excuse me, flopsymopsy, but what do you mean by:"Or is it just me who watches tittles, stops, then leaves?" This is a family site! By the way, I thought it was pandas who eats, shoots and leaves ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eats,_Shoots_&_Leaves Reply #21. Nov 10 09, 7:49 PM |

Hello Lesley. Nice little place you have here! :) And certainly you can be 'a pedant'! It's your space and you can be Anything you Want to, Dear! ;) Reply #22. Nov 10 09, 8:48 PM |

The young doctor I go to, told me just last week that of course I felt bad I was in my 60s how else was I supposed to feel. I asked him then if I were wasting my time even going to the doctor? He didn't think the question that funny and got a grumpy look on his cute unwrinkled face. Told me to make an appointment for blood work. I left and really don't think there is a reason to go back. I must find an older doctor or one more interested. I am however feeling better from the exchange. Reply #24. Nov 10 09, 9:39 PM |

I never really thought about my doctor's age...I knew ahe was younger than me but in my blissful ignorance I did not think about how much younger she was. At my last annual check up, there was a slight problem...nothing serious...but she looked at me and said. "You know, my mother is a lot younger than you and she is having the same problem." Of course, I was crushed with the realization that she considered me grandmotherly. I left there feeling worse than when I went in. Reply #26. Nov 11 09, 8:23 AM |

Nothing wrong with a good pedant, Lesley. Bad pedants are a pain in the **** but good ones are worth their weight in tildes. Cyd might pretend to shoot me instead of a leaf for making a play on words but I'm a Brit, it's what we do. Well, we older Brits who had a good classical education do it, I'm not sure that the younger ones know enough words to play with. Lynne Truss must have made a fortune from that book so she won't mind. And if she does, who's she going to sue? A pair of Beatrix Potter rabbits? That would look good in court. "Me lud, I accuse this pink fluffy bunny of literate crimes against my panda!" Reply #27. Nov 11 09, 9:42 AM |

Good Morning from Friday the Thirteenth in TomorrowLand. :) A little light discussion is extremely good for the soul, Lesley....and as a first generation 'colonial' I can have some first class language practice! ;) Reply #38. Nov 12 09, 5:07 PM |
