That's hard! I can't get the two little mini-streets.

Question,A friend of mine was giving me some suggestions for a short story that I've been working on, and he told me that editors no longer like to see two spaces after a period ending a sentence. (He's published and has experience in these things, so I trust his Obi Wan knowledge). Am I out of the loop. When did this happen?
On a related note, I'm old enough to have taken typing in school and find I cannot break myself of the habit. Although, I guess I will have to try?!
PS - I typed that entry with two spaces after the periods. Goodreads autocorrected me?!?!Dogs and cats, living together!
Type it how you type it, and then when you're done, do a find and replace to make 2 spaces into one space each. Also, I totally read "Obi Wan Ke-nowledge".
See, that would have been WAY wittier. I bow down to you, as well ;)
At work we have an annual biometric screening as part of our health insurance.For the last two years, when they took my height, they said I was 5'1".
The first year I was skeptical, and thought it was just a mistake.
The second year I thought maybe I'd been wrong all this time, and I actually had that extra inch.
But this year...
This year they took it away!
They took away my inch!
I never really trusted the inch. It, like the cake, was a lie...
*snort*

Lol. Google is evil.

I'm missing something...
There was a little game of Pac-Man. You click on it and you can play along the neighborhood map.

did yall try again?
Maybe it's 'cause I'm on an ancient browser here at work, but I'm not getting the game.
I didn't get the game last night either. I'll try again from home.
The game showed up down the road, but when I clicked on it it said it couldn't play there and to try again somewhere else.

I haven't tried today. Maybe there's an easter egg near you?

Thank you!
Always glad to see people appreciate birthdays.So many people I work with are all like, "I don't celebrate birthdays 'cause I'd rather whine about being old. Waaaa!"
Another day older is another day appreciated.
My theory is you're gonna get older regardless, and your birthday is the one day a year where people celebrate the fact of your continued existence! Enjoy it!

I'm going out, eating a great meal, enjoying the company of friends and drinking good drinks. Unless someone brings a bitch along, the night should be great!
On the day before my b-day we're going to a comedy show. Laughs! :-D

Ok, so bad joke time. You have to be familiar with Harry Potter for this one.***
Why did Barty Crouch, Jr. stop drinking?
