@th3j35t3r why don't gifs that I search for through my mobile keyboard post here?
(Assumed technical or active choice in the inability, just curious to what/why)
So tonight everyone but those neighbors are going off (as he types they have have just started an encore), but the gathering went well. Left at the perfect time. Felt social fuse hit when I got home, about a 15 minute latency. And I felt tired not long after so I can control being awake better as my neighbor devolves into a warzone (it's friggin smokey!). Also didn't have to drive around people setting stuff off-always a plus!
When you don't like being social and your wife tells you July 4th festivities have gone from five to ten plus including her sister's friends (because she is hosting).
They are all very nice people, it is just not my crowd and I like watching my neighborhood's fireworks from my stoop.... while drunk...like the forefathers intended.
Outside my native country right now and making friends at the hotel I'm at, but most everyone is international (good) but as someone who has always prioritized home country travel for proximity, was, and price, it's very isolating when people forge friendships and then say "maybe I'll get a passport". Love the new friendships, but man is it a punch when everyone goes from "we'll meet up in...." to "it was a great to meet you".
Scene: at the vet
Vet tech provides a couple of rabies tags and leaves
Me: *picks them up to look at them*
Wife: *explains to me what they are*
M: they remind me of guitar picks
W: metal guitar picks?
M: why metal? Couldn't they be used for country or something?
About three seconds later her eyes shut as she understands the joke and the pain washes over her. She didn't want to dignify me with a laugh but let a smile seep through.
I'm reading the replies and feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
My guess is that there was a time in the early days of (commercial) computers where we still adhered to typewriter rules before it changed at some level.
BUT I did plenty of writing and PowerPoints when getting my BS 10 years ago and NOTHING. That is the discrepancy I am having trouble with when everyone says two spaces went away with typewriters.
My wife who is 5 years younger than me is saying she was taught one space after a period. Since I can remember, I've done two but only recently is msft word telling me I'm wrong. Feels like the comma wars.
This has come up now because I got 5 points off a college paper for bad spelling/punc/grammar and it gotta believe it's the punctuation....
