19 of those were spent with a hot JW.
BTW, I've never encountered an ornery one. They stop when told I'm not interested. Unlike those damn magazine sales-kids (although I blame the companies, amd I don't blame the kids, whose participation in little league or cubscouts or whatever is being exploited)

Bien sur. I would have had no trouble conjugating this verb in French. With the English, however, I is not so good. |

I read it as "we request." However, as it was unclear, I just offered up the rule instead of trying to guess his meaning. I'm not as smart or as pretty as you, so instead of stating with certainty that which I didn't know, I only gave the advice I was on comfortable ground with.
Wouldn't it be fun if ALL posters were as circumspect?

You can't have liquor until you make the varsity squad.

I've never dealt with JWs, but the Mormons that have come by are nice. They used to offer to mow my lawn, etc. Never took them up on it. Instead, I'd just invite them in to watch tv.

I was a smartass kid and my mother is a control-freak. Anyway, one day I was being surly and I told her that I was in a bad mood. She responded with "you're not allowed to have moods in this house!" Anyhoo, I came back with, "so I'm not allowed to use the subjunctive?" And then we laughed. Oh how we laughed.
This is a true story. My family really is this retarded (hi Penske!). |

Oh, they're not considering you. They mean women who have careers they're into. You have a well paying job you use to fund your lifestyle.
You're a catch.

I still have big tits. Everything else was "disproved" by TM. But then again, he agreed with the hair thing and didn't notice my legs. ha. I still think he graded too harshly but I'm starting to get over it. Psst. deal lawyers and tax attys wear french cuffs too....
As for the other tax stuff, you got me.
As for the derivatives stuff, that structured finance is starting to gel for me but it is a tad complex, no? |
