Things you wish you could say

[nuthatched]

In order to raise chickens or anything completely "naturally ", you must:
NOT provide shelter or security
NOT provide food or water
NOT in any way treat any illness, injury or disease or in anyway postpone the natural outcome of a malady
NOT put down a suffering, malformed or mortality ill animal
NOT stand in the way or move to collect a still live bird from the grip of a predator
Thank you.

To certain persons of extremely poor grammar:

Please learn how to use proper punctuation. Your 180-word run-on sentences are both confusing and time-wasting to read.

It's from a generation of people whose main form of communication is texting on their phones, but are too lazy to actually type the words so they use the microphone instead, then don't bother to make it readable. If all their friends can read it, why can't everyone else?
Yes, one of my pet-peeves, too.

My grown nephew wants to write a book. He has an interesting biographical story to be sure, but he types a wall of words with no clue about punctuation, paragraphs, spelling, capitalization, nor grammar - not to mention limited descriptive vocabulary. And he wants ME to edit and proofread for him. I don't even know where to start because it needs to be completely re-written. Like erase and start over.

Yow. That can't be fun. Sad also because of the fact that it would actually have potential to become a great book, if written by the actual rules of the english language.

If you want someone who speaks Spanish and English for the job you have listed, put that in the requirements, not just "bilingual."

There are thousands of languages out there that are neither English nor Spanish, you know.

I recall seeing a thread title that was one word, and it was a verb. It was one letter short of being a totally different verb. The poster was upset that the thread got no attention. When the typo was pointed out, they said, "Well, you knew what I meant!"

Um, no I didn't.

I'm not trying to make you sound dumb. You do that well enough without my help.

I've been shopping the Marketplace, craigslist and others for stuff in preparation for moving next week. Amazes me how many people can't spell what they're trying to sell.

I wish I could say I didn't lose any plants to frost last night.

Fortunately I didn't lose any plants to today's rain/hail storm.
