I was born in 1962; you do the math. (See also: I'm too lazy to remember to update this thing regularly.) I bought my first house in the summer of 2009; I share it with four cats and with the memories of The Runt and Little Girl, who both passed away in 2011. Rocky, the cat for whom this blog was named, passed away in 2008; I miss them all. I wish I lived somewhere where the winters weren't eight months long; other than that, life is good.
I am a member of the Grammar Police of Scotland and am appalled at the amount of spelling and punctuation mistakes there are out there, especially from so-called 'professional' organisations and/or people!
We have a sign nearby which says "Dogs Trust". Every single time I drive past it, it annoys me and I shout, "Dogs Trust? Whom do they trust?", knowing full well that they mean "Dogs' Trust".

Harrumph. Rant over.
It sounds like the beginning of an ad slogan, doesn't it? "Dogs trust the long-lasting action of the Killzfleez Collar!"
Oh, and I kid you not, a client just called the office and wanted to know if her report had been "wrotten" up yet.
Gah.
Love it. Maybe at least Walmart (unlike this church) can do contractions correctly?!?
best,
