Why I Flunked English

We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
But the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?

Injured in an accident?

If you’ve been injured in an accident, you had better call an attorney, because calling the police will get you nowhere.

LISBON, Conn. - A state trooper was suspended for 15 days without pay after he was recorded on a 911 tape saying “too bad” to a caller seeking help for a man injured in a motorcycle accident.

And people wonder why we have such moral decay in our society. This is not just a case of rudeness, but of gross negligence. What if, because of this negligence someone had tried to move the injured individual and he had ended up paralyzed? This state trooper need to find a new line of work.

Another Weekend at Home

I am spending Easter weekend with my family.

Threaded Comments

I have just installed Brian’s Threaded Comments for WordPress 1.5. I have been looking for something like this for a long time, and I could never get it to work quite right on WordPress 1.2.X.

You can toggle the visibility of certain threads by clicking on the [T].

The only problem I can see with this is that more “sub”-comments that are made, the narrower the columns will be. That may become an issue for sites that receive more comments than I do, but that should not be a problem here.

Message Boards Moderating

Well I am now Club Moms moderator for two message boards. One topic is Changing Careers and the other is for Columbus, OH.
