Oh no, jammies! What's wrong?

Not a good place for hanging out...

[evie]

Thinking my oil heater is ready to die.

[Félix]

You heat your oil?

[Laurin]

Regretting laying out in the sun. My upper back and the backs of my legs are lobster colored.

One of these.

One must always be vigilant in defending the castle from marauding vikings.

[Jammies]

No biggie, Geekber, I just got heatsick from watering my mother's plants in the full sun in 80 degree weather. Today I am hiding from said sun and doing a mental rain dance.

[evie]

Stay cool Jammies.

[Scout]

Just lit a candle in case the power goes out.

[evie]

I'm preparing a salad to take with me to work.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Just took a shower (we're in those 2-shower-a-day days), didn't dry off, just put clothes on. The fan will dry me off.

[evie]

Air dry.

[evie]

I have the apartment to myself. I'm pottering about doing household tasks.

[Martini]

Trying to stay awake. And I'm absolutely positive that later on, when I will want to sleep, I'll not be able to do so...

[Félix]

MAYBE IF I YELL AT YOU. DOES THAT HELP?

[Martini]

Ah, I see you had your hearing aids adjusted... :-P
But yes, it helped a bit, thank you. Though I'm sure I'll still be wide awake when I go to bed.

[Félix]

*buzzzzzwhistle* What?

[Martini]

Hmmm... Just wondering: maybe it's that woolen cap you're wearing that is restricting your hearing?

Any advice on being able to sleep when you want to?

[Félix]

At one time I could fall asleep at will. All I needed was a dark, quiet, comfortable room. These days, if that go-to-sleep process is interrupted, I'm awake for hours thereafter.

Maybe some good tequila?

[Martini]

I think I've never been able to directly fall asleep; maybe when I was a kid. I envy everybody who can.

No alcohol for that reason - although I'm tempted...

[Cloudedleopard]

so exhausted...

And me too, I can't fall asleep directly after placing my head on my comfy cushion; instead I toss and turn for at least half an hour.

[Sally, la reina]

i don't think you need both a conjunction and a semicolon, friend.

[mark]

I think you need to capitalize that "i", Sally.

[Félix]

I've been under-capitalized my whole life.

[Sally, la reina]

I think you med to eat more vegetables, mark.

[mark]

your assessment is correct.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I think she does need the conjunction and the semicolon. I think both of you need to work on your capitalization. Mark needs to eat more vegetables and Mynheer Peeperkorn needs to eat fewer carrots, as they make her gassy.

[Sally, la reina]

As far as I know, a semi colon should separate two independent clauses. A co-ordinating conjunction like instead makes the second clause dependent, I think.

Should Mark sign up for a CSA? Would that make him less peaked? Peakid?

W aiter, there is too much pieper in my papperkash.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Maybe I should rephrase; I believe in this case "instead" is not a conjunction, but an adverb. As an adverb, it requires the semicolon.

[mark]

we used to have a CSA when i lived in a more communal living environment. it was called The Box, i think. pretty good deal and some interesting veggies that i wouldn't have eaten otherwise.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I couldn't sleep, so I'm decluttering.

[mark]

right now i'm watching Apollo 18 and waiting for it to get good.

[Sally, la reina]

How the action was done is not explained by the word "instead."
How does she turn? Instead.
No.
She turns slowly and fitfully, mussing the covers completely.
Yes.
Slowly is how she turns, completely is how she musses.

[Sally, la reina]

oh, and Phil: new page!

[Sally, la reina]

P.s.: Mark used to munch box.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Pfft.

[mark]

mark still munches box from time to time.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm discovering I have a lot of little pads with hotel logos. I knew I had some, I wasn't aware I had this many.

[Sally, la reina]

oh, it seems the google tells me it is an adverb. You are right. But then that makes the semicolon even more egregious. Why separate the two verbs linked by the one adverb with a glorified period?
I believe the Oatmeal backs me up on this one.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I think you are high on bath salts.

[Sally, la reina]

Am I chewing your face? No. am I eating your live dog? Noooooooo. Am I naked? No.
I am not high on bath salts.

I did take two Percoset about ten hours ago. Does that make one hallucinate grammar grandosity?

[mark]

did you wash them down with a bottle of wine?

[Sally, la reina]

Well, the wine was from a box, so i guess I munched box tonight too!

[mark]

ha!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I apologize.

[Sally, la reina]

For what?

[Sally, la reina]

box munching can be a natural, zesty enterprise.
