Well that sums it up, perfectly!

UPDATE: 10 Little Dogs

This is just an update from Carolina Poodle Rescue about the 10 little dogs I posted about the other day....

Here is a quick update on the 10 little dogs.
Chelle and Karen pulled in about 4 pm with a van load of very scared
little dogs. Thanks to everyone who helped get them here. Everybody
is in isolation as several have kennel cough. I saw one little shih
tzu who has a scarred eye and most of them have some sort of flea
allergy dermatitis. Dirty dirty little dogs, but we'll change that
soon.
Â
Thanks again for helping us get these to safety.  Your help brought
these little ones to us.

happy new year to all!

 

Or well, at least I hope none of us will.....

10 Words We All Need to Stop Misspelling

Ok, so I do make some of these mistakes myself...let me see which ones...

With this first one...do not get either of these words confused with loss either!  Loss means something that is, at the most basic level, lost.

This one I have always taken to be a typo...but when I think about it we have always been taught ‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’ or when sounded as a as in neighbor and weigh....well weird this word doesn’t fit that rule.  There are a few others that don’t either...hehehe, either is one of them!  Neither, foreign, height, leisure, seize.

Getting these next three sets of words confused is my 2nd pet peeve (my 1st is below) that will make me not read another word that person has to say. 

This next one is one that I always misspell but not with an ‘a’...I usually spell it definetly but I usually catch it when I proof read...but I don’t always proof read either!

This one is confusing for almost everyone....when people make this mistake, it can be over looked most of the time...unless it is someone that asks like they are perfect...then it is wonderful to point it out to them!

I don’t see this mistake very often...

I am guilty of this...I forget that little space ALOT!  LOL!

Ok, this is it...my number 1 biggest per peeve as far as writing goes.  This one is so basic...I not only can’t finish reading that particular piece (whatever it may be...article, email, IM, whatever)...I rarely look at the person in the same light ever again...most people that make this mistake repeatedly make excuses when you point it out to them and rather than learning from it, they continue to make this mistake over and over again, making themselves look like uneducated idiots!

me with blue hair

I was playing around on this Avon site doing a Virtual Makeover....I decided to see what I'd look like with blue hair...well here are the results...I still look very normal.  I think I should be afraid of that!!
