Outin Espresso on the Go

 

Outin is a company specializing in portable coffee makers.  The one I like best is the Nano Portable Espresso machine.  It is lightweight, quick, and uses either ground coffee or coffee capsules.  You should check it out! Use code CLEAR20 to receive 20% off selected products while supplies last.

Gone Grammar

I think strict grammar lessons have gone the way of the dinosaur; well, in Texas public schools I KNOW they have, but I believe it's true of colleges as well.  

 I have a few grammar-related pet peeves.  And I think that people in the publishing business or those who work in news outlets really should know these. This week, I've heard several things that were wrong grammatically.  Annoying!  And unacceptable.   Schools don't do diagramming anymore.  I loved it.  It was like a puzzle!  Some college students think speaking the language correctly is unimportant.

Prepositions.  First, objects of prepositions use the objective case which includes me, you, him, her, us, them.  Even my best friend says this wrong. Between you and I, for example, is incorrect,  Or, the Emmy goes to him and I.  Again, incorrect.  It should be him and me.  Take out  the words "him and."  Would  you say the Emmy goes to I?  I think not.

There are other pet peeves, like alot written as one word, and irregardless, which isn't a word at all.

  News people, take note.  You should know this!

apostrophes where they are not necessary

I wonder what nice thing the patients did to get a thanks.

Please don't eat my customers!

Please don't use your tongue!

Ewwwww. Sweat in your tea?

Were you planning to smoke your food, or were you going to smoke your beverages?

Pretty sure I have enough pubic education!  I've been married a long time!

Poor thing.  I wonder  how she can tell her pee is sweet.  Ooooohhhhh.  She meant Pea!

I hope they don't have to demonstrate that they have gas in order to get the free meal!

 

Let's get this child some spelling and grammar lessons stat!

Satin!  Hahahaha!

I wonder if smoking quietly is ok since it's not aloud.

We're about to take off... Wheeeee!

 We just got back from a trip to Colorado.  We live in Texas, so we flew to Denver, rented a car, and drove to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.  As we were about to take off for the flight home, I thought to myself, wouldn't it be more fun if the pilot said something like "And away we gooooooo," as he's about to put the wheels up.  Or maybe as we take off, he sang, "Up, up and away."  Or maybe as we're climbing in the sky, he could say, "Wheeeeee!"  What do you think?  I think it would be hilarious!  How about some vacation funnies?

What's Your Opinion?

 Question for you today... Where do you stand on the custom of tipping housekeeping staff at a hotel?  Do you always leave a few dollars in the room when you check out?  Does it depend on the type of hotel/motel?  Does it depend how many days you were there?  Okay.  That was many questions.  I'm curious, though. Where do you stand on tipping hotel housekeeping staff.

That's all I got for today!

This totally cracked me up!

Awww.  So cute!

Me!

Thanks for stopping by.  Remember to visit Happy Tuesday and Random Tuesday Thoughts.  Have a great week!

Tuesday Nonsense

 

Hey Tuesday Peeps!  I'm headed to Colorado today!  The weather will be all over the thermometer because there could be as much as a 30 degree difference among the places we are visiting.  We're looking to get away from the heat for a while.

 

One thing I'm really looking forward to is seeing the Stanley Hotel.  If you're unfamiliar, it's the Hotel that served as inspiration for Stephen King to write The Shining.  We also planning to go into Rocky Mountain National Park at least twice.  I hope I get to see some changing colors on the tree.  We don't get much of that here in Texas.  And I would love to see an elk... at a safe distance.  Wish me luck!

Catch up with my friends at Happy Tuesday and Stacy's Random Thoughts!  Have a great week!

Whoops! I forgot again.

 Have you ever... Nevermind.  I know you have.

The rest of the sentence... thought you did something and realize way after the fact that you didn't?

Yup.  Happens to me a lot!

I thought I posted some funnies last week, but I was wrong.  Oh, well.

Happiness and Randomness Overflowing

This post is really much ado about nothing (but has a small tie to school due to the definition included.)

Is your neighborhood about to get busy, like mine? School starts today!  I'm grateful I'm retired because that summer was too short, and the weather says  it's still summer and will be for a while.

You may know that I've been an avid crafter for as long as I can remember, and I follow a few different types of artists and crafters, many who sell their knowledge in a course, webinar, zoom call, prerecorded video (etc.).  But WHY does everyone think that if you call something an Academy, people will automatically think it is exclusive and better than a regular class?

Examples online :  The Crepe Paper Flower Academy,  The Better Life Academy, Learn (fill in the blank) Academy, Cutting Machine Academy, Organizer Academy,  Watercolor Painting Academy.

The definition of Academy is  a school that teaches a specific skill or subject, a private high school, or an official group of experts who work to advance art, science, or literature.  It is also  a place of study, a special school, or a group that helps arts and sciences grow.

So, is it  legit to call these courses Academies?  What do you think?

Unfortunately, this is what it's like in school now.  The bully doesn't get in trouble.

Have a great week!
