Bubbles. My co-worker now calls me Bubbles. Not so crazy bout that one, but not sure if it's the word itself or why he calls me bubbles that I don't like more. lol. He calls me that because he says he took a poll and I shud be put into a sound proof bubble while I work so he can work in peace or some crazy thing... Me. In a sound proof bubble of all things! How cud I possible joke, sing badly, or put Lex and he (and others) down all day in a sound proof bubble? Inconceivable! ;)
So much on my mind tonite I don't know where I mite end up going, so bare with me. Is that the right "bare"? Or is it "bear"? I do so much better when I know where sayings come from and what context they were originally used when I go to write them out... Don't you? I know! I'll google it! Be right back...
Wow! From Common Errors In English Usage Paul Brian wrote:"/"There are actually three words here. The simple one is the big growly creature (unless you prefer the Winnie-the-Pooh type). Hardly anyone past the age of ten gets that one wrong. The problem is the other two. Stevedores bear burdens on their backs and mothers bear children. Both mean "carry" (in the case of mothers, the meaning has been extended from carrying the child during pregnancy to actually giving birth). But strippers bare their bodies --sometimes bare-naked. The confusion between this latter verb and "bear" creates many unintentionally amusing sentences; so if you want to entertain your readers while convincing them that you are a dolt, by all means mix them up. "Bear with me," the standard expression, is a request for forbearance or patience. "Bare with me" would be an invitation to undress. "Bare" has an adjectival form: "The pioneers stripped the forest bare." So "bear" it is!!! I won't get that wrong again! But not why you think... Just ain't ready for the world to see me naked! LMAO! I gotta get this book!
I love Google. It makes my life so much easier. At work, at home, shopping, ANYWHERE! I must say it at least 5 times a week, if not more. The other search engines? Not for me. I've tried them, but the goog is just so much simpler and exact... well, most times. lol. I have found it's all for the asking...
I want another book on phrases used in the English language. I have had one for years about animal phrases and now I think I need another. And quotes! I love quotes! That comes from my 7th grade year... Mom bought Toni (my little sis) and I an Encyclopedic Dictionary. It is fabulous. It has all sorts of Dergerisms a Derger like myself can get lost in for hours... oh yeah. A Derger is well, a dork who knows a lot of shit and can randomly throw it out there whenever it's needed. (Ok Jen/Jil. I embellished a bit. I know and you know what it actually means. Let's keep it that way, hmm?)
I love learning something new. I really don't care what either. That's a terrible down fall if you think about it. When I went to college, I could have chosen absolutely any career I wanted. Anything! And I blew it on a 2 yr degree in electronics. Don't get me wrong. i've enjoyed it, but it was just a quick way to make ends meet and provide for my 3 kids since their father didn't feel the need to do so in the least (Warren County Ohio courts SUCK!) and I've done that. Now maybe it's time to go back to school... Think I will!
Above I stated about the ability to choose any career. I would like to give credit where credit is do and tell you about my angel... And I will in my next blog. Sorry, just looked at the clock and I've got the electronics job thingy to do early in the a.m., so good nite my fellow bloggers and bloggies! I've enjoyed my time with you as always! Thanks for the free therapy session! (since insurance at my electronics job has gone completely south, I certainly cannot get the therapy I used to get. lol!)
TTYL!
