To All:

[j2k4]

However all of you do/don't observe what many of us do in the next 10 days or so, whatever religious affiliation you do/don't have/practice, please take some time to reflect on any blessings/family you may have.

Those of you who find yourselves lacking reasons to be thankful, some of us are thinking of you this season, and we hope you don't mind we do this.

Also-please be safe.

This season always seems to bring some sort of unnecessary tragedy. Let's not contribute to this-we can't afford to lose anybody.

My best to everybody here; I hope you all have a happy, thankful, and SAFE holiday season (or whatver you do/don't call it). :)

[Snee]

Very politically correct of you, bravo! :)

Argh... Possessive pronouns don't have apostrophes in them!



Sorry, been Christmas shopping today and it's incredible the number of shopkeepers who put up signs with inappropriately-places apostrophes in them - it really bugs me, I don't know why.




Merry Christmas/Yule/Eide/(insert winter festival here) everyone :)

Are you stalking me, correcting my grammar.

I've got one bloody group telling me to lighten up a bit and a Mod being picky about "Possesive pronouns" (though why the word possesive started with a capital letter is beyond me).

Right

In addition to the "Possesive ...." being questionable as it does not start the sentence.

"Sorry, been Christmas shopping today ... " really, how does that work then, is it equivelant to "Sorry, I have been ..." or even "Sorry, I've been ...."

"inappropriately-places apostrophes in them ...." or placed even.

Listen mate, don't correct the esoteric when you can't accomplish the simple.

[Lamsey]

Typos and colloquialisms. However there is no excuse for apostrophe abuse.

Oh, and I think it was Ozbabe who made the mistake in the other thread.

I feel your target demographic may be a hair limited old bean.

[Skweeky]

I just want to say, that I'm thankful to have met someone who loves me like no one else has loved me before. And I feel the same way

/me is happy (and that has been a while) :)

[Gemby!]

i would like to just add that at this time of year blood donations go very low and im sure people worldwide would appreciate it if you gave up some of your time (and blood) to be so kind as to donate :)

i heard it on radio and i think you should donate :angry:

[summerlinda]

I [and others] have to work while others are stuffing themselfs, unwrap gifts and get drunk... ;)
[I dont mind, because I dont care about hypochristmas anyway]

So, to all of you that have to go to work: Have a good time and dont work too hard http://www.mcbriens.net/liam/img/smilies/thmbup.gif

PS: Good idea Gemby :)

[Snee]

Do you donate blood, gemby!?

If you wanna make others do it, maybe you ought to try it yerself.

[Gemby!]

There is a limited demand for the blood from small cat's anyway. So don't worry about it.

I give blood so regularly I have to get weekly transfusions just to top me up.

[Gemby!]

[TheDave]

[Gemby!]

[Lamsey]

You have to be 17 to give blood.
