What's going on?<br /><br />Furthermore, the human police who make sure your readers are not robots have started using commas. I'm bothered by that because you don't HAVE to use a comma when listing only TWO word-a-majigs. I believe a conjunction is preferred. <br /><br />I feel better now.link2literacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824869599980405915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911995834831777898.post-39089992244670650262012-02-15T21:48:51.321-07:002012-02-15T21:48:51.321-07:00I think it was my grandpa (mom's dad) who told...I think it was my grandpa (mom's dad) who told me sharp is better because you need less of it. I know for certain he's the one who gave me my first taste of extra-sharp cheddar cheese. I never looked back.<br /><br />Becca's right.

But come on! I held my tongue like a good little girl, even though I really wanted to say, "And WHEN ARE YOU DUE?"Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470421180508999238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911995834831777898.post-82751821841679293922012-02-15T10:56:23.077-07:002012-02-15T10:56:23.077-07:00As I'm not a fan of confrontation I would'...As I'm not a fan of confrontation I would've picked up the big packet, walked around the store and-after checking scooter lady wasn't still in that aisle-gone back and swopped it for the extra-sharp Tillamook.

You bought the MILD, and Super-Scooter-Cheese Woman felt good about saving someone for overpaying for cheese. Win-Win...except for the part that you didn't get to buy the extra-sharp Tillamook. It is really good.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458565038623693762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911995834831777898.post-59905368274989639472012-02-14T14:56:17.205-07:002012-02-14T14:56:17.205-07:00Did you know I went to Catholic school?

But you'd be mean, too, if you had to wear ugly shoes all the time.<br /><br />Sorry you let her bully you about your cheese. But I don't think I could have stood up to her either.
